Will Gasoline Prices Be The Next Trump Card For Hillary Clinton in New York Elections?
In a recent development, Hillary Clinton strongly said that federal gasoline tax should be suspended as many employers have cut jobs because of increase in gasoline prices over a period time. In April, around 20,000 jobs were cut because of this. She said this in a rally in order to win votes in her election campaign in NC.
She also criticized Barack Obama for not supporting the suspension of federal gasoline tax as Obama believed that if that is suspended then also it won’t be of much help as it will save only $30 a month for each American family.
Hillary Clinton did not leave John McCain also as she criticized him for using gasoline tax money for transportation projects. In another rally in Denver John McCain said that money should come by eliminating waste special interest projects in which personal interest taken by Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton. John McCain urged the government to give break to the low income Americans by suspending the federal gasoline tax. Lets see how far this effects the results of the forth coming elections.

How Far Will They Go From Here:Bill And Hillary Clinton’s Lies Exposed
Bluffing is an art, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. You might hear many stories from children when they do not want to go to school or from candidates who bluff about their talent in interviews. But they all are caught somewhere and the truth comes out. The same thing has happened with Bill & Hillary Clinton in their election campaign where they have contradicted themselves on more than one occasion.
It was all started by former President Bill Clinton who is known for his lies whether it was his alleged affair with Monica Lewinsky or his stance on terrorism. It is difficult to trust someone who hasn’t been clean.
Still people wanted to give him a chance and they were ready to listen but the consequences of giving him a chance are in front of all.
Here are some of those moments and facts which Bill & Hillary Clinton used to gain advantage against their counterparts Barack Obama and John McCain.
• Bill said that he was opposed to Iraq war from the beginning whereas he was not and the proof was there before all.
• Hillary Clinton said that she was not in favour of NAFTA but that was not true which was exposed after her first lady records were released.
• Hillary lied about a trip to Bosnia and it became a major uproar in the past.
• Bill Clinton had said few things about Obama’s Iraq connection but there was not any fact to it.
• If that was not enough then he also made a story about 90’s and tried to criticize him.
• Hillary claimed that she played a crucial role in bringing normalcy in Northern Ireland even that proved to be false.
Therefore, these are the fake profiles that are representing our nation, and we claim that we are fighting terrorism and Injustice. We as a nation are supposed to set an example for other countries but we ourselves contradict and make a fool of ourselves.
Its time for the people of America to rise to the occasion and take a proper call and elect the best president that they can do.

US Election Procedure- Part2
For filling a vacancy, special elections take place which are broken up into three types Primary (Called the Primaries),general and the local elections.
Primary Election : In the congressional election process if more than one candidate from the same party seeks to fight then primary election is held. Where candidates are nominated by political parties and then votes are given. There are two types of Primaries election. Open election and Closed election. In open election any eligible voter can vote regardless of which party he represents where as in close election only members of the respective party can vote. Primary elections start in January and last until June in the election year.
General Election : This election is held to choose the final candidate which are nominated by parties running as independents or Write-In-candidates. In addition where the division of party candidates is not decided in the primary the runoffs take place in general election. A General election is held on the first Tuesday of November in even-numbered years called the Election Day. The candidate getting the highest number of votes wins.
In presidential elections, electoral votes are allotted equal to the sum of US representations and senators from that state. District of Columbia has three electoral votes even though it is not a state.
The presidential candidate who wins more number of votes wins that state’s electoral votes. Once the elections in states are certified, the votes won by each candidate are counted,
If a candidate receives at least 270 electoral votes out of 538 then he is declared as the winner and if no one wins with a majority then House of Representatives choose a winner, with one vote each for states.
So this is the entire election process which is carried out in USA. Now its time watch the show of this years Presidential election. Obama , Hillary Or McCain??Its a billion dollar question.

McCain Supports War Against Terrorism
Terrorism is something which needs to be removed from its root cause,no matter in which country it is.To safeguard the people of your country you sometimes need to take some drastic steps which are necessary whether others believe it or not.McCain who himself was in military would better know the significance of eradication terrorism.
The attack that took place in Iraq and Afghanistan was to save the world from terrorism and it was for bringing democracy, which was non-existent in Afghanistan.
Bringing back military from Iraq and Afghanistan will not be a good idea as it is our moral responsibility to protect the citizens of those countries. He was quoted as saying.

John McCain:The Dark Horse For The Race To The White House
Although all the attention is being drawn by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the US Presidential elections but there is one more candidate who is in the race and he is none other than John McCain from Arizona.
His life has been very challenging and an inspirational one.He was a naval aviator who was caught by North Vietnamese in Vietnam War in 1967 where he lived as a prisoner for five years before he was released and had gone through many tough moments of torture and horror.
Inspite of all these tough moments John McCain is here fighting hard to do something for his country by contesting the US Presidential elections as the third candidate. Although not much has been heard about him till now but he might very well be the surprise catch.
McCain is currently on the trip to Middle East and Europe and would be back this week. He might turn around things in states like Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania where he has a strong hold. So it needs to be seen how things shape up in coming days.
He was a candidate for Republican in 2000 also, but had lost to George W. Bush after a closely fought battle, so he brings lot of experience with him, which Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do not have. So it will be worth watching all his moves and strategies in the current contest to the White House.

Will Less Money Harm Hillary Clintons Chances Of Winning?
It is all about money, Honey! Well this might very well prove true if Hillary loses in the US Presidential elections just because she was not able to raise as much money as his counterpart Barack Obama was able to raise for the election campaign.
What I have seen from my experience over the years is that money plays an important role in attracting crowd whether it is in USA or any other country for that matter. What matter is how much you advertise yourself to attract more votes for that important seat of US President.
Till now in the campaign Obama has outspent more than Hillary Clinton. In February Obama was able to raise $2 Million in a day and has a bank balance of $30 million in his bank account compared to $3 Million in Hillary Clinton’s bank account.
In the coming months it would be difficult to raise money for both the candidates as people will not be ready to give up their money so easily. It needs to be seen who draws more attention.
But in all these it won’t be a surprise if John McCain emerges on top as he has already started his fund raising and since most of the attention is drawn by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, there are chances that he might just throw in a surprise as no one is concentrating as to what he is doing.

A Country which is know for Data Privacy and handling personal information of its citizens has made a big mess with the presidential candidate Barack Obama’s passport file. It was opened by some unknown people without taking his permission to view.
In one of the bizarre cases which might have taken place in the history of USA, raised a lot of questions as to what will happen to the personal information of its citizens, whether they are safe or not? Because if something like this can happen to an presidential candidate then how can the citizens of the USA trust the system which has been working smoothly since long time.
Was there a political motive behind it to seek the information or was it something else other than that? In addition, people might be forced to ask questions like why USA is found guilty of security breaches. According to reports, many people who were responsible have been fired but who was behind it has not been revealed until now.
What is also surprising and shocking to know is that this incident occurred three times in January, February and March, then why the action was delayed. Since USA elections Campaign is going on the agency might have thought that it might not be the right time to reveal it as it may give an unusual advantage to any of the Obamas rival.
Since the investigation is in place we may find the results of the same very soon and who was behind it? It has raised lot of questions and it needs to be seen how the department handles it.

Has Pastor’s Comments Affected Obama’s Chances
It seems that Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s comment on Obama has affected his chances of winning the presidential elections as he has lost some ground in terms of lead compared to his rival candidate Hillary Clinton.
According to the recently concluded poll by Franklin and Marshall College, this poll was conducted in Pennsylvania after the controversial video of Rev.Jeremiah Wright which was highly publicized.
As per the result of the survey, which came to light yesterday, Hillary Clinton has been supported by 51 percent of the democrats compared to 35 percent to Obama. Although it was an opinion poll but the error percent of these polls is said to be 3 percent only.
So if the polls are anything to be believed then Obama has lost some ground. Nevertheless, the good news is that Hillary Clinton still trails Obama in terms of state wise contest.So we need to wait and watch how this contest advances.
