Edwards drops out of the race

Wed 30th Jan 2008

News has just broken that John Edwards is quitting his campaign to become president of the USA. This is a very interesting move as it now leaves only Obama and Clinton as the remaining runners and people will want to know how Edwards is going to side when it comes to his previous competitors.

The US Democratic debate: really that bad for Obama?

Tue 22nd Jan 2008

Last night there was a democratic debate for South Carolina and unfortunately the event descended in to childish scrapping between Clinton and Obama.

Latest Politalks:

So what the hell is going on, Labour are slumping in the polls and yet those most naturally in their shadow able to take their place (the Lib Dems) are failing to capitalise in the polls. And even though the Tories are enjoying high times so much they must think it's the 80's all over again (in more ways than one) they have failed to deliver one serious or credible attack against the government that would show them to be the true heir's to the throne.
