US Election 2008
Pragmatic Politics, Forged on the South Side
In August 1999, Barack Obama strolled amid the floats and bands making their way down Martin Luther King Drive on Chicago’s South Side. Billed as the largest African-American parade in the country, the summer rite was a draw over the years to boxing heroes like Muhammad Ali and jazz greats like Duke Ellington. It was also a must-stop for the city’s top politicians.

Feminists sharply divided between Clinton, Obama
NEW YORK - No constituency is more eager to see a woman win the presidency than America's feminists, yet — despite Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic candidacy — the women's movement finds itself wrenchingly divided over the Democratic race as it heads toward the finish.

Edwards says Obama could beat McCain
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards on Friday declined to make an endorsement in the Democratic presidential battle, but said Barack Obama could unite the party and win in November. In an interview on NBC's "Today" show, Edwards said Obama appears set to win the nomination. The former North Carolina senator refused to say who he voted for in his state's primary this week, won by Obama.

Kennedy: No veep slot for Clinton
It's fun to think about, but there are so many obstacles, and Ted Kennedy isn't buying, he said on Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," which airs this weekend. "I don't think it's possible," he told Hunt of the joint ticket, continuing that: Obama should choose a running mate who "is in tune with his appeal for the nobler aspirations of the American people," Kennedy said. "If we had real leadership -- as we do with Barack Obama -- in the No. 2 spot as well, it'd be enormously helpful."
Ouch.

Obama forges ahead as momentum builds in his favor
Barack Obama readied Saturday to claim a new milestone in his drive to sew up the Democratic presidential nomination after new superdelegates pledged their support, solidifying his lead over rival Hillary Clinton. ABC news and the New York Times both announced that for the first time, the Illinois senator has more superdelegates on his side than the former first lady, thereby bridging the final gap between him and his Democratic foe.

Obama's Game Changing
On the Saturday before the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, Hillary Clinton stood on the back of a vintage pickup truck in Gastonia, N.C., and let fly in the most impressive fashion - a woman transformed from Eleanor Roosevelt into Huey Long in two short months. Spotting a big yellow placard that said GAS TAX HOLIDAY IS BLATANT PANDERING - a sign she would have ignored in her earlier, less feisty incarnations - she went after the young Obamish sign-holders: Why wasn't the Federal Reserve accused of pandering when it bailed out the Bear Stearns investment bank to the tune of $30 billion?

Gas tax battle was a political gift to Obama
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The heated presidential campaign battle over a federal gas tax holiday turned out to be a much needed gift for Barack Obama -- and he can thank Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The fight, which dominated the final days before the North Carolina and Indiana contests, gave him an opening to talk about the economy with working-class voters and helped Obama at least temporarily bury the controversy about his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Posted On: May 14 2008, 01:44 PM | Title: Radio Kyskeya_Haiti_ Cambriolage par des individus cagoulés du Greffe du Tribunal de 1ère instance de Port-au-Prince (Palais de Justice)
Des individus cagoulés ont cambriolé lundi soir le Greffe du Tribunal de 1ère instance de Port-au-Prince sis au Palais de Justice, édifice situé à quelques mètres du siège de la Présidence haïtienne, le Palais National, gardé par une importante entité de la Police Nationale d'Haïti (PNH), l'Unité de Sécurité Générale du Palais National (USGPN).
Aucune information n'était disponible mardi en fin de journée concernant la nature et l'importance des dossiers emportés.
Le commissaire du gouvernement de Port-au-Prince, Me Claudy Gassant, l'inspecteur général en chef de la Police Nationale d'Haïti (PNH), Fritz Jean, le directeur central de la police administrative, Destorel Germain et le doyen du Tribunal civil de la capitale, Me Rock Cadet, ont de concert réalisé mardi le constat des faits.
Le doyen du tribunal informe que le dossier a été transmis à la Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire (DCPJ) et au Parquet, responsable de la mise en mouvement de l'action publique, pour les suites nécessaires. Des dispositions seront prises pour éviter la répétition de tels actes, a-t-il annoncé, tout en appelant les autorités concernées à adopter les mesures qui s'imposent pour garantir la sécurité des bâtiments judiciaires.
La sécurité du Palais de justice de Port-au-Prince est généralement assurée par des éléments de la police administrative de la PNH.
Les Greffes des Tribunaux et les Parquets gardent généralement d'importants dossiers et des pièces à conviction indispensables à la bonne gestion des dossiers judiciaires.
Le siège du Parquet du Tribunal de 1ère instance de la capitale avait été cambriolé dans la nuit du 6 au 7 janvier 2007. Les éléments de 93 dossiers judiciaires, dont des pièces à conviction de première importance, avaient été ainsi emportés.
Cinquante deux (52) armes à feu (révolvers et fusils), des cartouches et des chargeurs remplis de projectiles ; de la marijuana, de l'argent liquide (monnaie nationale et devises étrangères), des passeports et d'autres pièces d'identité, des téléphones portables, des carnets de banque, des bijoux, des plaques d'immatriculation d'Haïti et de la République dominicaine, dont certaines de la police haïtienne ; d'autres objets et documents faisaient également partie du précieux butin des cambrioleurs. Ces derniers sont encore en cavale puisque, plus d'une année après, aucune suite n'a été donnée à ce dossier. [jmd/RK]
