  The idea that the government can condemn private property for what it views as the public good has been a source of contention for years. But when the Supreme Court ruled in 2005 in Kelo v. New London that the city in Connecticut could use its powers of eminent domain to take private land for another private development, a new national debate raged.

  Voting gap divides the parties

  “In Tuesday’s election, 73% of those who went to the polls voted in the Democratic primary, to 27% on the GOP side—a huge difference in a state that in November 2004 was decided by about 11,400 votes."To be sure, the race between Obama and Hillary Clinton was more meaningful than the all-but-wrapped up Republican battle between McCain and Mike Huckabee.

  The GOP candidates present something more of a unified front about how to deal with the foreclosure crisis than the Democrats. The candidates remaining usually offer cautious support for the Bush Administration’s efforts when asked how they propose to address the issue.

  The correctional facilities in the state of Arkansas during Mike Huckabee’s 11 years as governor were the focus of a series of controversies. There were allegations that inmates had been punished by being transfered to facilities where their race was a minority and his numerous pardons have been questioned by many.
