Presidential Campaign

In this video, Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) voices his opposition to the Fairness Doctrine proposal currently under consideration in the House. Mack says the government has no place regulating free speech and political speech should be market driven.

See the video below.

Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) will mail a DVD to Iowa voters next week detailing her stance on the Iraq War. In it, Clinton discusses the war with voters in the dining room of an Iowa home, and Joe Wilson, former U.S. Diplomat and husband of outed CIA operative Valerie Wilson nee Plame, appears to promote the New York senator.

See the video below.

Releasing his seventh presidential campaign ad, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) addresses youth culture in this video and examines the "ocean in which our children now swim."

"If we get serious about this, we can actually do a great deal to clean up the water in which our kids and our grandkids are swimming," Romney said.

Speaking at a presidential forum at the NAACP Convention, former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) announced that on Monday he will begin traveling to impoverished areas of the country such as New Orleans, Mississippi and Arkansas to talk about his "Two Americas" campaign about poverty.

"Doing something about the two Americas is the cause of my life," Edwards said. "One of the things I’ll be doing beginning next week is trying to create a spotlight on the other America - the poverty that exists all around this country."

In this video, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) outlines his campaign platform into twelve planks, including a commitment to strong national security policies.

"I will keep America on offense in the terrorists' war on us," Giuliani said. "Remaining on offense will shorten the time this war takes place."

In this campaign video, NBA veteran Charles Barkley recalled the first time he met Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) while researching a book he was writing.

"He had me so enthralled and enthusiastic about politics..." Barkley said. "America has found a shining star and it's time for everyone to get on board."

Speaking at the Young Republicans National Convention, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) said Republicans and conservatism are centered on the concept of strength.

"Democrats believe that government is a source of our strength. They’re wrong! I love what Ronald Reagan used to say about liberals. He said 'It's not that liberals are ignorant, it's just that what they know is wrong.'"

This week, Bill and Hillary Clinton hit the trail in Iowa, appearing for the first time together for Hillary's presidential campaign. The campaign recently announced it would provide footage of the Iowa trip for HillCam, a project Clinton's team described as an "unvarnished look at the Clintons' first joint-campaigning of the 2008 race."

In this video, the Clintons visit a Dairy Queen with former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, who pulled out of the presidential race earlier this year and is now one of Clinton's campaign co-chairs.

At a recent church conference, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) gave a speech designed to stir the hearts of all of us who yearn for more authentic religion in the public square.

He was earnest, compassionate -- and thoroughly misleading about the proper roles of religion and government. As the presidential campaign progresses, we will hear more such talk, and so what he had to say must be dissected carefully.

First of all, the speech was powerful in its call for moral influence on government. Had parts of it been delivered by my boss, Dr. James Dobson, Barry Lynn would have fired up his sound-bite machine and the media would have been apoplectic for days. But Sen. Obama is a political liberal, and so there was no controversy.

Speaking in front of the National Education Association, former Sen. John Edwards (D-N.C.) said he would raise the minimum wage if elected president.

"We’re going to raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour so that people can earn a decent wage," Edwards said. "No one, no one, should work full time in the United States of America and live in poverty."
