B. Sheet #1- 2008 Election

First off I don't know if this is the right way to do the briefing sheet but what I did was write the title of the article in which I read then I summarized it.Also, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to choose a specific candidate so I just added all 3.

1.Clinton and Obama pound on McCain over Economy
* Clinton and Obama tell us about the big issues today on heath care, high costs of college, energy prices, and other budget issues. While poking fun at McCain in between topics about how his economic plan should just not exisit and how his campaign is like launching a 3rd Bush term.

2. Editorial: Let Voters Decide
* Here it says that Clinton should just give up now because the mathematics don't favor her. The race is so close right now that soon the popular vote and the delegate count will show who will come out on top after the few remaining states have had their say.

3. Obama Links Cost of War to Economic Hardships
* This page talks of how the U.S. cannot afford this illegal war in Iraq, which of now is costing 3 trillion that could've gone towards other things. Super capitalism and the rich mans greed are too destuctive toward reall Americans today and the world to notice that the war needs to end, there are bigger issues.

4. Which candidate has the most green cred?
* The answer is both democrats, economy plans are the first on their agendas by having a cap and trade system to reduce the nation's carbon emissions. They say that by 2050 the use of carbon emissions will be 80% below the 1990 levels, by having 25% of that come from wind, solar and other sources in 2025.

5. Can they Heal our Health care System
* Thousands are on the democrat side. Obama says he'll make insurance so affordable people won't be able to resist, Clinton proposes she'll mandate that everyone get coverage and then McCain only remark is that he'll let the companies compete to keep costs down.

6. Stand on Iraq: Decisions to go to War
* Hillary talks that she would of never given authority to Bush if she had known then what she knows now, she hopes all the troops are out within a year and their should be more troops in Afghanistan not moving them out of Iraq.

7. Troop Withdrawl
* Barak says he would have troops out in 16 months and the war in Afghanistan won't further if the commitment in Iraq isn't reduced. Pulling the troops out of Iraq will increase the U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan and the extra soldiers will be used as leverage for additional troop commitment for NATO.

8. Republicans Stand
* McCain fully supports Bush' s invasion on Iraq, but the procedures taken about the war were a mistake, but not the war itself.

9. Effect on the War in Afghanistan
* McCain has yet to offer few specifics on whether or not more troops are needed in Afghanistan, but has recommended an increased emphasis on developed aid.

10. Mixed Bag for Clinton, Obama, and McCain
* Tracking polls show that Clinton has a one point lead nationwide over Obama, Obama is at 80% for winning the nomination and 46% of winning presidency. Then McCain is at an 8 point lead over either Democrat in nationwide polls.
