Plans for health care, higher education, and Energy policy, were points Presidential Candidate and former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson outlined at Franklin Pierce University in Rindge New Hampshire Yesterday afternoon. Richardson a democrat is a former secretary for U.S. energy, and former UN Ambassador. Richardson's agenda speaks of eliminating the dependence on Foreign Oil. Richardson wants to make the mile per gallon average requirement around 55 miles per gallon, versus the 35 percent it is set at now. As for his Medicare policy, if elected Richardson says he would lower the eligibility age from 65 to 55, and shift medicare funding, to direct care for screenings, and testing.
Richardson says for health care, we must as a nation promote prevention and living healthy lives, starting early with children.
If Richardson were elected president, veteran health care would not just be given at VA hospitals. Richardson told the audience in Rindge that every veteran with a Hero health card, could receive treatment anywhere.

Huckabee Visits Franklin Pierce: Calls for Overhaul of Tax, and Healthcare Systems
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee prior to an event at Franklin Pierce University, in a Student Media Press conference talked about his latest surge in Iowa and in New Hampshire, and his support for the political process in the two states.
Huckabee talked about filing for the New Hampshire Primary, which he is doing at this hour in Concord.
Huckabee says money has taken a lot of control of government, and the press has focused on who has raised money but not enough on the ideas, and that adds credibility to the candidate with the most money.
In the press conference, Huckabee fired at Fred Thompson staying persistent with the challenge, to Thompson about holding a Lincoln Douglas Style debate.
Huckabee, in his event at Pierce, expressed his interest in overhauling the “broken tax system," and to transform the healthcare system. Huckabee proposes that under his overhauling, the IRS goes away. Huckabee believes, there is not a "healthcare crisis" but instead a "health problem," but says this can not be changed in a campaign cycle but instead in a generational cycle.
Interesting note, Huckabee a Boston Fan admires the Red Sox, but was a Yankees fan growing up. His true baseball love, is the Texas Rangers, but said they wont make the World Series in his life time. Mark Martin is Huckabee's favorite Nascar Nextel Cup driver.

Globe Article on Iraq, Democratic Candidate Stance on Iraq
In the article, "Veterans take their war views to the trail" featured today in the Boston Globe, written by Irene Sege a great set of stories are written. I think it does a wonderful job of laying out the campaigns feelings. This article gives people an opportunity to quickly see who believes what they believe. This little clip below, I found very interesting.
"The campaigns of Democrats Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Edwards, Bill Richardson, and Dennis Kucinich all have at least one Iraq veteran lending a hand in New Hampshire. Former senator Mike Gravel, an afterthought in the polls who would immediately withdraw from Iraq, travels with the outspoken antiwar veteran he hired as head of security. On the Republican side, McCain - Vietnam veteran, former prisoner of war, father of two sons in the military - counts more Iraq vets among his New Hampshire volunteers than do his rivals. "His family's not too good to fight this war," says Newbery."

Republicans Choose Hillary as Democratic Candidate
I found it very interesting that the way the republican candidates in the debate held at the University of Michigan, constantly mentioned Hillary Clinton.
They feel that Hillary has already recieved the democratic nomination when the Primary in New Hampshire is still a couple months away. I will be interested to hear the response from other democratic candidates.
Any one else find that interesting?

Obama Speaks in Londonderry
Obama talks about environment, energy
By TRENT SPINER
Union Leader Correspondent
The issue - the environment - was new yesterday, but the message was the same for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
Obama blamed Washington politics for the failure of presidents as far back as Richard Nixon to deliver on promises of energy independence.
"The truth is, our energy problem has become an energy crisis because no matter how well intentioned the promise, no matter how bold the proposal, they all fall victim to the same Washington politics," Obama said yesterday.
He appeared at a town hall meeting with about 350 people sitting in a field at Mack's Apple Orchard.
Obama said yesterday that his environmental plan isn't the greatest ever written, and his health care plan is nearly identical to that of his top rivals. But he painted himself as the different candidate, one who can unite Americans around a common purpose.
His self-depiction of a Washington outsider and independent thinker has been the chief argument for an Obama administration. Throughout his town hall-style meeting, he returned to his theme of change and said his rivals are ill-suited to enact a new version of the environmental standards.
"I know change makes for good campaign rhetoric, but when these same people had the chance to make change happen, they didn't lead," Obama said.
Obama remains in a tight race against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards in polls and fundraising. He did not directly name them yesterday. Instead, he said the existing leaders in Washington have failed - a charge that earned him applause among the mostly Democratic-leaning crowd.
In specifics, Obama would not pledge to stop all new nuclear power plants, but stressed that questions of spent fuel storage and costs have to be addressed.
"We shouldn't simply remove nuclear power from the equation," Obama said.
Obama took tough questions from one voter who opposes the upcoming free trade bill that would add Peru as a trading partner. Obama, who voted against the recent Central American Free Trade Agreement, said he would support Peru's inclusion.
"What I'm not willing to do is to say, on a blanket basis, we're not going to do trade agreements. I think that would be a mistake. We're not going to draw a moat around the United States' economy," he said.
Some in the crowd of mainly Democrats said it is too early to decide for whom they will vote.
"I think he is very smart, very smart indeed, said Marjean Bailey, a former Episcopalian minister who drove from Maine to hear Obama speak. She would like to see Clinton get the presidential nomination and take Obama as her running mate.
"He was honest," said Lorraine Farmer, a Massachusetts resident. Farmer said she was a lifelong Republican until 2004.

The issue - the environment - was new yesterday, but the message was the same for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.
Obama blamed Washington politics for the failure of presidents as far back as Richard Nixon to deliver on promises of energy independence.
"The truth is, our energy problem has become an energy crisis because no matter how well intentioned the promise, no matter how bold the proposal, they all fall victim to the same Washington politics," Obama said yesterday.
He appeared at a town hall meeting with about 350 people sitting in a field at Mack's Apple Orchard.
Obama said yesterday that his environmental plan isn't the greatest ever written, and his health care plan is nearly identical to that of his top rivals. But he painted himself as the different candidate, one who can unite Americans around a common purpose.
His self-depiction of a Washington outsider and independent thinker has been the chief argument for an Obama administration. Throughout his town hall-style meeting, he returned to his theme of change and said his rivals are ill-suited to enact a new version of the environmental standards.
"I know change makes for good campaign rhetoric, but when these same people had the chance to make change happen, they didn't lead," Obama said.
Obama remains in a tight race against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Sen. John Edwards in polls and fundraising. He did not directly name them yesterday. Instead, he said the existing leaders in Washington have failed - a charge that earned him applause among the mostly Democratic-leaning crowd.

Eyes on the Primary Schedule
From the Associated Press:
Congressional Democrats from Florida have sued their own party, hoping to restore the national convention delegates that were stripped from the state because itscheduled an early presidential primary.
The lawsuit claims the party violated the Constitution andfederal voting laws by taking away Florida Democrats' ability tohave a say in choosing the presidential nominee.
The national party's rules committee voted to take away Florida's 210 delegates after the state party chose to go alongwith a January 29th primary. Party rules say states cannot hold their 2008 primary contests before February 5th, except for Iowa,Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
Meanwhile, South Carolina Democrats will decide within two weekswhether to ask national party leaders to move the state's primaryto January 19th and make it the party's first contest in the South.
