I recently got a computer company to update my system to windows xp pro,?
but have realised that they have used a pirated version, my pc is not doing too well and is blocking me from using certain sites, e.g signing on to my online banking, going into the cashier on my poker account, downloading certain software etc.
I have also noticed that there is no security centre on the control panel.
The message that comes up when i try on get on my bank etc
is THIS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED, check network settings,
the same page that you get when your connection is down.
I am using broadband and have noticed that the it is running very slow despite having a fast connection.
I have tried to resolve this problem, by checking the firewall, defrag, fixing broken registry links does anyone have any ideas what could be causing my problems.
the company i originally used have dissapeared of the face of the earth, and as i am disabled and housebound, my pc is my world giving me my social life etc.
so obviously money is a problem.
thanks for your time

Check if there is a red icon at the bottom right of your internet explorer when it doesnt let you on the banking site...if yes double click it, comes up with window displaying cookies for the page...right click the one for your bank. select always accept cookies from this site and close the window. If that doesnt do it......click tools on your IE and select internet options.....select connections tab....LAN settings......tick automatically detect my settings.This should work.
Reply:i think youve done your part, every detailed solutions youve made. try referring it to some it specialists
Reply:You should let Microsoft know what happened! That should clear things up quickly. Let them know what happened and how your innocent. go to this site and that should help you! go to "reporting piracy" part.
Reply:have someone go to Frye's and spend the $200 for win xp pro for you. if not, there ain't much you can do.
Reply:To be honest, i'd either buy a new copy of Windows XP (or if you already have a legit copy, try that)
Go for a copy of XP Home as its cheaper.
You could have a specilist look at it or anyone who you trust and know personally, but running a pirated version of XP is illegal as you know

Why is Yahoo! promoting deceipt in the workplace by offering Messenger service with STEALTH?
Your STEALTH feature is advertised: “Keep your boss in the dark. With handy Stealth settings in Yahoo! Messenger with Voice, you can appear online to some and offline to others." Please, where does corporate greed stop? Is Yahoo! so desperate to 'grow' it's profits that it is willing to lose its terrific reputation and lower itself to scum by offering a product that encourages employees to deceive their employers into thinking they are doing the work they're being paid to do, when all the while they're really working on their social life. And the ad makes it sound like a fun and proper thing to do! Are we now to lower our standards of morals and business work ethics in the name of corporate greed? Can't you find an ETHICAL product to sell, like your corporate web site says you're supposed to?
Suffice to say, I won't be expanding my network of Yahoo! services until I see from Yahoo! that it takes good morals and ethics seriously. I'm also discussing this with everyone I know.
Why is Yahoo! promoting deceipt in the workplace by offering Messenger service with STEALTH?
I'm sorry, I haven't seen the part about the bosses advertised anywhere. I'm sure Yahoo! knows that bosses usually have the opportunity to see whatever's on a computer screen in their business, regardless of whether or not the user is using the internet.

Reply:Please get off your high horse. You can still do your work and use messenger at the same time. It's corporate greed when companies won't allow you to have any break while you're working.

Reply:Good luck..the supreme court gave the police more leeway when it comes to entering a suspect home..they used to have announce they were there before forcing their way in...but because of concern of destroying evidence the police only have to announce their intention as they bust down the door.
You have better chance of suing the county for the injury at the library...best you separate your suits so as not to make it look like you are just an opportunist.
Also been homeless for 3 yrs many years ago..at least you have shelter access...best wishes.

How much do you know?
Knowledgeable News Audiences
News audiences vary widely in age, education, and how much they know about what's going on in the nation and the world. Most regular consumers of news are better informed, better educated, and older than the average American. But the audiences for some news sources stand out in this respect.
Judged by their answers to three news knowledge questions2, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources.
Audiences with the highest educational achievement, by far, are the literary magazines and online news outlets. Readers of news magazines, political magazines and business magazines, listeners of Rush Limbaugh and NPR.
Some of these attentive and educated audiences also are older than average. The oldest audiences belong to the NewsHour (60% age 50 or older), the O'Reilly Factor (58%), Larry King Live (56%), network nightly news (54%), and Sunday morning talk shows (52%).
The Center is an independent opinion research group that studies attitudes toward the press, politics and public policy issues. We are best known for regular national surveys that measure public attentiveness to major news stories, and for our polling that charts trends in values and fundamental political and social attitudes. Formerly, the Times Mirror Center for the People %26amp; the Press (1990-1995), we are now sponsored by The Pew Charitable Trusts and are one of six projects that make up the Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan "fact tank" that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world.

Reply:The problem is that the average Joe six pack (and Jane) beleive everything they hear on the TV box, in which the non-cable channels are highly liberal. That is thier evidence whenever you have a discussion with them on politics, "Did you see what they said on the news?". They consider hearsay and propaganda as evidence.

Proof-read my paragraph PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
On the week of Halloween celebration of this year, CNN reported that Nickelodeon was brainwashing the children over the United States by showing other children who are standing up for their beliefs. It was January 28, 2007, when Nick News with Linda Ellerbee presented “Rebels with a Cause” about five stories of children who aren’t afraid to take actions on their belief. All of the five stories are based on controversial social issues that we are facing as a society today. The first segment was about children take action on child labor used to produce clothing for United States consumers. The second segment was about a boy spoken out against the use of torture on prisoner with suspected terrorist connections. The third segment was about children hoping to bring attention to the negative impact high stakes testing on instructional methods and to eventually change the state law. The fourth segment was about the animals rights of how animals are being abuse in the circus. The last segment was about a girl who does not support the War in Iraq and even protested at the State Capitol in her home state. All of the stories showed the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is happen in the moment and they are very important act forward. But the most contentious segments were the second and last segment of the “Rebels with a Cause”. The CNN people made a big deal about how a cartoon network like Nickelodeon was showing serious controversial issues to children who are turn to their network to watch cartoon not to informal what is happening in the United States and the world. On the Halloween night, CNN invited children psychologists to their program and they ask them how did the action of Nick New with Linda Ellerbee showing the episode was dramatic or not to the children. Then they asked the viewers to send their comments on their blog board website. On the online article of John Stephenson, he reported that one of the members of the Army Wife Toddler Mom website makes a statement “This Nickelodeon “news program” is not a news program. It is a leftist primer on how to be a “left-wing radical rebel.” I strongly disagree with this statement; the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee had been more informal than the local news. Children today are smarter that they are able to establish their own opinions faced in front of them. If any of segments were additionally reported in any local news and cable news programs recite. No one will be making money for the corporal businesses.
Proof-read my paragraph PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
The best informative writing is concise. In other words, it gets to the point without a lot of extra words. Why use three words where one word will do just as well? Also, watch your use of past and present tense. Only use the present tense if the action is going on at the moment you are writing.
Instead of “On the week of Halloween celebration” consider “During the Halloween week.”
“brainwashing the children over the United States” should be “brainwashing children in the United States”.
“It was January 28, 2007, when Nick News” is too passive. Try “On January 28, 2007, Nick News” instead.
“stories of children who aren’t afraid” should be past tense: “stories of children who weren’t afraid”.
“about children take action” should be “about how children taking action” or “about how children should take action”.
“a boy spoken out against” should be “a boy speaking out against”.
“impact high stakes testing” should be “impact of high stakes testing”.
“the animals rights of how animals are being abuse in the circus” should be “animal rights and how animals are abused in the circus”.
“All of the stories showed the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is happen in the moment and they are very important act forward.” I’m not sure what you are trying to say in this sentence. Perhaps you meant to write, “All of these Nick News stories are happening right now, and they are very important to our future.”
In “the second and last segment” segment should be plural: “segments”.
“who are turn to their network” should be “who are turning to their network”. Also, cartoon should be plural: “cartoons”.
“not to informal” should be “not to become informed”.
This sentence is also difficult to understand: “On the Halloween night, CNN invited children psychologists to their program and they ask them how did the action of Nick New with Linda Ellerbee showing the episode was dramatic or not to the children.” Change “children psychologists” to “child psychologists”, “they ask” to “they asked”, and “how did the action” to “how the action”. I would rewrite this whole sentence thusly: “On Halloween night, CNN asked child psychologists how the Nick News program would affect children.” That’s much shorter, to the point, and easier to understand.
“to send their comments on their blog board website” should be “to post their comments on the CNN blog”. All blogs are websites, so you don't need to say it. Blogs and boards are both types of web sites, but they aren't the same. It's either a bulletin board or a blog.
“On the online article of John Stephenson, he reported” should be “In an online article, John Stephenson reported”.
“makes a statement” should be “stated”.

Proof-read my paragraph PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
The best informative writing is concise. In other words, it gets to the point without a lot of extra words. Why use three words where one word will do just as well? Also, watch your use of past and present tense. Only use the present tense if the action is going on at the moment you are writing.
Instead of “On the week of Halloween celebration” consider “During the Halloween week.”
“brainwashing the children over the United States” should be “brainwashing children in the United States”.
“It was January 28, 2007, when Nick News” is too passive. Try “On January 28, 2007, Nick News” instead.
“stories of children who aren’t afraid” should be past tense: “stories of children who weren’t afraid”.
“about children take action” should be “about how children taking action” or “about how children should take action”.
“a boy spoken out against” should be “a boy speaking out against”.
“impact high stakes testing” should be “impact of high stakes testing”.
“the animals rights of how animals are being abuse in the circus” should be “animal rights and how animals are abused in the circus”.
“All of the stories showed the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee is happen in the moment and they are very important act forward.” I’m not sure what you are trying to say in this sentence. Perhaps you meant to write, “All of these Nick News stories are happening right now, and they are very important to our future.”
In “the second and last segment” segment should be plural: “segments”.
“who are turn to their network” should be “who are turning to their network”. Also, cartoon should be plural: “cartoons”.
“not to informal” should be “not to become informed”.
This sentence is also difficult to understand: “On the Halloween night, CNN invited children psychologists to their program and they ask them how did the action of Nick New with Linda Ellerbee showing the episode was dramatic or not to the children.” Change “children psychologists” to “child psychologists”, “they ask” to “they asked”, and “how did the action” to “how the action”. I would rewrite this whole sentence thusly: “On Halloween night, CNN asked child psychologists how the Nick News program would affect children.” That’s much shorter, to the point, and easier to understand.
“to send their comments on their blog board website” should be “to post their comments on the CNN blog”. All blogs are websites, so you don't need to say it. Blogs and boards are both types of web sites, but they aren't the same. It's either a bulletin board or a blog.
“On the online article of John Stephenson, he reported” should be “In an online article, John Stephenson reported”.
“makes a statement” should be “stated”.
“more informal” should be “more informative”.
“Children today are smarter that they are able to establish their own opinions faced in front of them.” Should be “Children today are smart enough to form their own opinions on the issues they face.”
I have no idea what you are trying to say with the last two sentences. They don’t make any sense to me.

Questions We Thought, But Didn’t Ask, in 2007
If the local cable company’s customer service phone help line always has “longer than expected” hold times, when does it ever have “shorter than expected” hold times?
If you know someone obsessively checks his e-mail on his iPhone, should you be insulted when he fails to answer your e-mail in a timely manner?
Consumer electronics companies sheath their products in vacuum-sealed packaging that are impossible to open. Why are they so afraid of us using their products?
I am married with a house. Why do I see so many ads for online dating sites and cheap mortgages?
Should I be happy that I see those ads? It means Internet advertisers still have no idea who I am.

Knowledgeable News Audiences
News audiences vary widely in age, education, and how much they know about what's going on in the nation and the world. Most regular consumers of news are better informed, better educated, and older than the average American. But the audiences for some news sources stand out in this respect.
Judged by their answers to three news knowledge questions2, the most informed audiences belong to the political magazines, Rush Limbaugh's radio show, the O'Reilly Factor, news magazines, and online news sources.
Audiences with the highest educational achievement, by far, are the literary magazines and online news outlets. Readers of news magazines, political magazines and business magazines, listeners of Rush Limbaugh and NPR.
Some of these attentive and educated audiences also are older than average. The oldest audiences belong to the NewsHour (60% age 50 or older), the O'Reilly Factor (58%), Larry King Live (56%), network nightly news (54%), and Sunday morning talk shows (52%).
The Center is an independent opinion research group that studies attitudes toward the press, politics and public policy issues. We are best known for regular national surveys that measure public attentiveness to major news stories, and for our polling that charts trends in values and fundamental political and social attitudes.

Does Communism Work After All?
By Andreas Lorenz and Wieland Wagner
China is securing an ever-bigger share of the world market with the methods of a planned economy. Competitors and economists alike are astounded by the country's seemingly unstoppable march to becoming a global economic superpower. The development has left many wondering: Does communism work after all?
Boom City Shanghai: President Hu Jintao and his Communist Party are experiencing explosive success across the country.

Boom City Shanghai: President Hu Jintao and his Communist Party are experiencing explosive success across the country.
Nine men dressed in dark tailored suits meet behind high, Red walls. Their secret meeting place in downtown Beijing is called Zhongnanhai, or "Middle and Southern Lake." Once part of the Forbidden City, Zhongnanhai was a place where emperors, concubines and eunuchs would spend their days concocting court intrigues. Some of the buildings from those feudal days are still standing today, joined by functional, gray and white structures built when the Chinese Communist Party established its headquarters here.
The nine men -- who constitute the Standing Committee of the Communist Party's Politburo, the most-powerful political body in the Middle Kingdom -- meet in the southern section of this refuge. Their discreet meeting is businesslike. The group's members were not elected by the people and they are not interested in being observed while governing. Cameras are banned and there is a conspicuous absence of jovial pats on the back or ready smiles for the evening news.
FROM THE MAGAZINE
Find out how you can reprint this DER SPIEGEL article in your publication.
None of the members of this sombre squad is known for his charisma. President Hu Jintao, 64, the head of state and Communist Party leader, and his eight colleagues are stiff technocrats. Hu, the son of a tea merchant from Jiangsu Province, holds a degree in hydroelectric engineering. The others are trained in fields like electrical engineering, metallurgy or geology.
But the discussions and decisions made here within the ranks of China's Politburo affect the well-being of 1.3 billion Chinese -- and increasingly the rest of the world. If the Middle Kingdom were not a country, but rather a giant company -- let's call it Red China, Inc. -- then the Politburo would be its all-powerful board of directors.
And if Hu were not a communist official but rather a capitalist corporate boss, he would find himself inundated with job offers worldwide. Competitors in the capitalist West can only dream of the successes he and his fellow communist leaders *** business executives have achieved.
Hardly a day goes by on which Asia's giant, Red corporation does not report new and dazzling business figures. And the more helplessly Western heads of state -- from United States President George W. Bush to German Chancellor Angela Merkel -- attempt to reform their traditional market economies, the more enviously the capitalist world eyes China's frenzied growth, all the while asking itself: Does communism work after all?
China's speedy ascent to become a global economic superpower is troubling to many: to the industrialized nations of the West because they fear for their jobs; to politicians because the global balance of power is shifting; and, last but not least, to economists because it is so puzzling to them.

Economists' theories are based on the recognition that market forces alone drive economic growth. The state's only role is to ensure that competition functions and that no one is able to abuse his power in the marketplace to an inadmissible degree.
A Midas touch
For these economists, the fall of the Iron Curtain offered glaring proof that their hypotheses were correct. Indeed, planned economies in Soviet bloc countries were failures, creating poverty instead of affluence and leaving industrial wastelands in their wake. Yet China is flourishing. With a blend of a planned economy and unbridled capitalism that you won't find mentioned in any textbook, the country is capturing world markets and achieving double-digit growth year after year.
Hu and his Red board of directors appear to have something akin to the Midas touch. With their country, which amounts to a gigantic, low-cost factory, they have already managed to accumulate more than $1 trillion in foreign currency reserves. In theory, at least, the communist People's Republic of China, has now joined the United States, the global capitalist superpower, in deciding the fate of the world's leading currency.
In 2005, China leapfrogged over France and Great Britain to become the world's fourth-largest economy. The country's new spot in the rankings came as the result of an omission on the part of its communist bosses: Already blessed with so much growth, they had simply forgotten to include a large portion of their giant service sector in China's economic statistics.
American sinologist Roderick MacFarquhar is astonished by China's performance. "Never before," says MacFarquhar, "has so much wealth been created by so many people in such a short time span."
If China continues to grow at the same pace, it will oust Germany as the world's third-biggest economy in only two years, perhaps even dethroning the United States from its leading position one day. In 2005, China was already the US's second-largest goods supplier and Japan's largest. Not satisfied with being No. 2, Beijing's strategists are continuing their plans to shower the world with inexpensive products such as T-shirts and DVD players -- and, increasingly, with Chinese high technology.
A fast-developing tech sector
China recently surpassed Germany in the number of patents it registers. With its latest five-year plan, the country's Communist Party has set itself an ambitious goal of catapulting China to world-class heights in the fields of science and technology. According to the plan, Chinese probes will orbit the moon next year and land on it by 2010. China's space ambitions also include a bizarre aural spectacle: Its lunar orbiters will transmit 150 pop songs back to earth, including a Chinese tune titled "We Love our China."

The Communist Party's economic successes aren't its only impressive achievement. Chinese cities are safer than places like São Paulo or Bogotá, and they seem cleaner and more orderly than the slums of Nairobi or Soweto in South Africa. Beijing and Shanghai boast a lively cultural scene, and broadband Internet access is already taken for granted in the country's major cities. Mobile phone reception is even available in small villages.
Communist Party leader Hu and his Politburo colleagues aren't the only ones behind the changes that have swept across this vast country. True, they are responsible for coming up with the overriding strategies behind China's economic miracle, and for this task they take the necessary time -- hours that Western politicians waste doing the rounds on talk shows. But the Politburo also routinely solicits advice and reports on the latest global trends in science and business -- on issues running the gamut from biotechnology to health insurance -- from academics in so-called "study sessions." This being a communist land, these sessions would of course be incomplete without the requisite lectures on China's revolutionary history and Marxist theory.

Graphic: The Government System of the People's Republic China
The State Council, China's cabinet -- headed by the pedantic and schoolmaster-like 64-year-old Prime Minister Wen Jiabao -- deals with the day-to-day business of government. The cabinet meets at least three times a month, as required by law, in a building located a stone's throw from the offices of the Politburo. Meetings are graced with tall beauties dressed in red outfits and white gloves, who serve cabinet members green tea from the Wuyuan district in Jiangxi Province.
Red China, Inc.'s central nervous system
In addition to Wen, this inner circle of the Chinese government includes four deputy premiers, five members of the State Council (including one general) and a secretary general. Comprised of eight men and two women, the group directs and coordinates the work of 28 ministries and commissions, including the country's central bank and its central auditing authority. It also presides over an immense number of government agencies, including China's official news agency, Xinhua, the Academy of Sciences, the customs agency, the weather bureau, an agency in charge of grain production and distribution and -- not to be overlooked -- the Administration of Government Offices, which provides high-ranking officials with living quarters, cars and vacation homes.

All the elements in the network that make up Red China, Inc. come together in Wen's State Council. The body controls daily life in China with a plethora of decrees, memorandums, plans, measures and responses. In the month of September alone, it issued a decree on the "Administration of Payment of the Automobile Sales Tax," approved "Basic Regulations for the Electricity Market" and organized "Safety Inspections of Dams that include Power Plants."
A decade and a half after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a communist country appears to be relentlessly transforming itself into an economic superpower. Its recipe for success is, at first glance, the five-year-plan -- one which dismayed Western politicians have routinely dismissed for such features as its ban on private ownership of land and its manipulation of currency exchange rates.
Having your cake and eating it too
But five-year plans are only one side of the coin in China's vast realm. The other is a wildly unfettered capitalism geared solely toward naked profit. And when it comes to turning a profit, hardly anything seems sacred anymore, not even for China's communists. The Great Hall of the People in Beijing is a case in point. If the National People's Congress doesn't happen to be in session or President Hu isn't using the magnificent building -- with its more than 300 rooms and enormous paintings depicting scenes from the revolution -- to receive foreign dignitaries, the government simply rents it out. Recently, US automaker Ford used the building to unveil its latest line of car models, and fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken opted for the elegance of the Great Hall to hold a meeting of its more than 2,100 Chinese restaurant managers.
Ironically enough, while economists in Europe and the United States advocate "less government" and "open markets" as a response to globalization and the Chinese challenge, the Marxist-Leninist party that rules China blatantly avails itself of every advantage of capitalism while steadfastly refusing to give up state control over the economy.

ICBC, a major Chinese bank, recently conducted the biggest initial public offering in financial history, floating shares worth the equivalent of $22 billion on the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. In a win-win situation for China's communists, the bank's value rose to more than $200 billion, and yet Beijing retains control over ICBC. The country's three largest telecommunications companies are also state-owned. Two years ago, the Communist Party simply reshuffled senior executives among the three companies.
Is China, one of the most undemocratic nations on earth, setting an example for democratic countries on how to effectively solve problems? Do China's successes fly in the face of every critic and skeptic who believes that Marxism-Leninism and capitalism are as incompatible as the devil and holy water?

Does Communism work better than capitalism? Der Speagal thinks so.?
First of all, communism, as a porduction method, doesn't exist since the dawn of men. What China, Russia, and all the former 'red' nations live by, or lived by, it's socialism, an hybrid of pure communism.
Now, going back to the China issue. China's more capitalist that many of us want to acknowledge. Remember Karl Marx used to talk about how the basis of capitalism was to generate plusvalue through the exploitation of the labor force, something China's proven to do perfectly with it's low wages and control of inner market.
I see China as a two-faced country. On one side, you have Hong Kong, Shanghai, and all those fancy cities were progress and industrialization are present. And you have the rural China, wre things haven't changed much since the times of Mao.
So the success of a mode, or way, of production depends on the culture, traditions, and behaviour of the society were they're imposed. I'm sure socialism would be ghastly for the USA, but alo there are places in the world were ful-on capitalism has brought poverty and huge social differences.
Hope I helped a little bit. Sorry if my english is bad.
Reply:Dont be shy make this a long question. After reading it what I want to know is what was the question?
Reply:You sure are verbose. Are you trying to sell me, or ask a question? I think if you read history and observe what is in process at any given point in time you would see that systems begin in opposition and slowly adapt to each other. Of course revolution is a exception to that. What is happening in south America right now is an example of adaption. What is going on in China is the same only further along. Suggest you read Karl Marx you are watching the implementation of his directions. Wealth dose not co notate intelligence, or compassion, on the other under-educated, poor and starving people will eventually at tact the "king of the royal mountain", we must in very short order devise a new system which is fair to all, and rewards according to contribution to all of mankind.
Reply:No I don't think it does. Think Russia %26amp; East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Those people under communist rule had poorer health, shorter lifespans, greater unemployment, fewer products to meet their needs %26amp; extraordinarily poor service. Long, long lines for everything they wanted to buy; groceries, clothing - you name it, they waited %26amp; waited %26amp; waited. Service was poor because there was no incentive to do a good job.
I don't care what Dr Speagel (spelling?) says. They led miserable lives w/o any freedoms.
If you think communism is better there are plenty of countries you can move to.
Reply:I almost gave up looking for the box to respond. You should definitely shorten your question.
Concerning Communism vs. Capitalism - a good example would be North Korea.
I'll take the good ol' US of A any day. I already served proudly and honorable for 20+ years before retiring.
Reply:No communism is a failed sytem due to the fact that Humanst controll it
Reply:There has been an obvious shift toward the center by most countries of the world. Only Americans blindly ignore half these shifts and figure the right is working. Neither the extreme right nor the extreme left works, you need to take the best of all systems.
Reply:The assumption in your question is that:
China is a comunist country. IT IS NOT. Read the principles of Marx and you may find out that communism any country with strong central government can not qualify.
Go to China and you will find out a lot of typical capitalistic exploatation.
Sit in your chair and watch NBC, CBS, CNN and alike and you will find out that .. China is a communist country, that people in China and unhappy and we need to help them ... that we ... Americans ... are happy.
You will find also that Americans love to go to work, have 2 weeks vacations that they often do not take. You will find out that Americans are happy when stock market goes up (stock market goes up, when profits go up. Profits go up when companies give less money to workers, or replace them with ones that demand less, or outsource.)
Reply:Communism can not hold a flame to capitalism.
There is no incentive in communism to be entrepreneurial and take risks. Nor is there reason to hardly work at all. Communism would put economic and technological growth at a complete standstill.
Individuals need incentive to take risks and work hard, capitalism is the system that provides this.
Reply:If you define success by slave labor tactics and using children to manufacture toys that they will never use themselves then yes it's a rousing success. Less the abuse, starvation, lack of health insurance and meager pay. While, all the while creating wealth for the heads of State. Then yes Communism is a success. Not!

Indeed, planned economies in Soviet bloc countries were failures, creating poverty instead of affluence and leaving industrial wastelands in their wake. Yet China is flourishing. With a blend of a planned economy and unbridled capitalism that you won't find mentioned in any textbook, the country is capturing world markets and achieving double-digit growth year after year.
Hu and his Red board of directors appear to have something akin to the Midas touch. With their country, which amounts to a gigantic, low-cost factory, they have already managed to accumulate more than $1 trillion in foreign currency reserves. In theory, at least, the communist People's Republic of China, has now joined the United States, the global capitalist superpower, in deciding the fate of the world's leading currency.
In 2005, China leapfrogged over France and Great Britain to become the world's fourth-largest economy. The country's new spot in the rankings came as the result of an omission on the part of its communist bosses: Already blessed with so much growth, they had simply forgotten to include a large portion of their giant service sector in China's economic statistics.
American sinologist Roderick MacFarquhar is astonished by China's performance. "Never before," says MacFarquhar, "has so much wealth been created by so many people in such a short time span."
If China continues to grow at the same pace, it will oust Germany as the world's third-biggest economy in only two years, perhaps even dethroning the United States from its leading position one day. In 2005, China was already the US's second-largest goods supplier and Japan's largest. Not satisfied with being No. 2, Beijing's strategists are continuing their plans to shower the world with inexpensive products such as T-shirts and DVD players -- and, increasingly, with Chinese high technology.
A fast-developing tech sector
China recently surpassed Germany in the number of patents it registers. With its latest five-year plan, the country's Communist Party has set itself an ambitious goal of catapulting China to world-class heights in the fields of science and technology. According to the plan, Chinese probes will orbit the moon next year and land on it by 2010. China's space ambitions also include a bizarre aural spectacle: Its lunar orbiters will transmit 150 pop songs back to earth, including a Chinese tune titled "We Love our China."

The Communist Party's economic successes aren't its only impressive achievement. Chinese cities are safer than places like São Paulo or Bogotá, and they seem cleaner and more orderly than the slums of Nairobi or Soweto in South Africa. Beijing and Shanghai boast a lively cultural scene, and broadband Internet access is already taken for granted in the country's major cities. Mobile phone reception is even available in small villages.
Communist Party leader Hu and his Politburo colleagues aren't the only ones behind the changes that have swept across this vast country. True, they are responsible for coming up with the overriding strategies behind China's economic miracle, and for this task they take the necessary time -- hours that Western politicians waste doing the rounds on talk shows. But the Politburo also routinely solicits advice and reports on the latest global trends in science and business -- on issues running the gamut from biotechnology to health insurance -- from academics in so-called "study sessions." This being a communist land, these sessions would of course be incomplete without the requisite lectures on China's revolutionary history and Marxist theory.

Graphic: The Government System of the People's Republic China
The State Council, China's cabinet -- headed by the pedantic and schoolmaster-like 64-year-old Prime Minister Wen Jiabao -- deals with the day-to-day business of government. The cabinet meets at least three times a month, as required by law, in a building located a stone's throw from the offices of the Politburo. Meetings are graced with tall beauties dressed in red outfits and white gloves, who serve cabinet members green tea from the Wuyuan district in Jiangxi Province.
Red China, Inc.'s central nervous system
In addition to Wen, this inner circle of the Chinese government includes four deputy premiers, five members of the State Council (including one general) and a secretary general. Comprised of eight men and two women, the group directs and coordinates the work of 28 ministries and commissions, including the country's central bank and its central auditing authority. It also presides over an immense number of government agencies, including China's official news agency, Xinhua, the Academy of Sciences, the customs agency, the weather bureau, an agency in charge of grain production and distribution and -- not to be overlooked -- the Administration of Government Offices, which provides high-ranking officials with living quarters, cars and vacation homes.

All the elements in the network that make up Red China, Inc. come together in Wen's State Council. The body controls daily life in China with a plethora of decrees, memorandums, plans, measures and responses. In the month of September alone, it issued a decree on the "Administration of Payment of the Automobile Sales Tax," approved "Basic Regulations for the Electricity Market" and organized "Safety Inspections of Dams that include Power Plants."
A decade and a half after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a communist country appears to be relentlessly transforming itself into an economic superpower. Its recipe for success is, at first glance, the five-year-plan -- one which dismayed Western politicians have routinely dismissed for such features as its ban on private ownership of land and its manipulation of currency exchange rates.
Having your cake and eating it too
But five-year plans are only one side of the coin in China's vast realm. The other is a wildly unfettered capitalism geared solely toward naked profit. And when it comes to turning a profit, hardly anything seems sacred anymore, not even for China's communists. The Great Hall of the People in Beijing is a case in point. If the National People's Congress doesn't happen to be in session or President Hu isn't using the magnificent building -- with its more than 300 rooms and enormous paintings depicting scenes from the revolution -- to receive foreign dignitaries, the government simply rents it out. Recently, US automaker Ford used the building to unveil its latest line of car models, and fast food giant Kentucky Fried Chicken opted for the elegance of the Great Hall to hold a meeting of its more than 2,100 Chinese restaurant managers.
Ironically enough, while economists in Europe and the United States advocate "less government" and "open markets" as a response to globalization and the Chinese challenge, the Marxist-Leninist party that rules China blatantly avails itself of every advantage of capitalism while steadfastly refusing to give up state control over the economy.

ICBC, a major Chinese bank, recently conducted the biggest initial public offering in financial history, floating shares worth the equivalent of $22 billion on the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock exchanges. In a win-win situation for China's communists, the bank's value rose to more than $200 billion, and yet Beijing retains control over ICBC. The country's three largest telecommunications companies are also state-owned. Two years ago, the Communist Party simply reshuffled senior executives among the three companies.
Is China, one of the most undemocratic nations on earth, setting an example for democratic countries on how to effectively solve problems? Do China's successes fly in the face of every critic and skeptic who believes that Marxism-Leninism and capitalism are as incompatible as the devil and holy water?

Does Communism work better than capitalism? Der Speagal thinks so.?
First of all, communism, as a porduction method, doesn't exist since the dawn of men. What China, Russia, and all the former 'red' nations live by, or lived by, it's socialism, an hybrid of pure communism.
Now, going back to the China issue. China's more capitalist that many of us want to acknowledge. Remember Karl Marx used to talk about how the basis of capitalism was to generate plusvalue through the exploitation of the labor force, something China's proven to do perfectly with it's low wages and control of inner market.
I see China as a two-faced country. On one side, you have Hong Kong, Shanghai, and all those fancy cities were progress and industrialization are present. And you have the rural China, wre things haven't changed much since the times of Mao.
So the success of a mode, or way, of production depends on the culture, traditions, and behaviour of the society were they're imposed. I'm sure socialism would be ghastly for the USA, but alo there are places in the world were ful-on capitalism has brought poverty and huge social differences.
Hope I helped a little bit. Sorry if my english is bad.
Reply:Dont be shy make this a long question. After reading it what I want to know is what was the question?
Reply:You sure are verbose. Are you trying to sell me, or ask a question? I think if you read history and observe what is in process at any given point in time you would see that systems begin in opposition and slowly adapt to each other. Of course revolution is a exception to that. What is happening in south America right now is an example of adaption. What is going on in China is the same only further along. Suggest you read Karl Marx you are watching the implementation of his directions. Wealth dose not co notate intelligence, or compassion, on the other under-educated, poor and starving people will eventually at tact the "king of the royal mountain", we must in very short order devise a new system which is fair to all, and rewards according to contribution to all of mankind.
Reply:No I don't think it does. Think Russia %26amp; East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Those people under communist rule had poorer health, shorter lifespans, greater unemployment, fewer products to meet their needs %26amp; extraordinarily poor service. Long, long lines for everything they wanted to buy; groceries, clothing - you name it, they waited %26amp; waited %26amp; waited. Service was poor because there was no incentive to do a good job.
I don't care what Dr Speagel (spelling?) says. They led miserable lives w/o any freedoms.
If you think communism is better there are plenty of countries you can move to.
Reply:I almost gave up looking for the box to respond. You should definitely shorten your question.
Concerning Communism vs. Capitalism - a good example would be North Korea.
I'll take the good ol' US of A any day. I already served proudly and honorable for 20+ years before retiring.
Reply:No communism is a failed sytem due to the fact that Humanst controll it
Reply:There has been an obvious shift toward the center by most countries of the world. Only Americans blindly ignore half these shifts and figure the right is working. Neither the extreme right nor the extreme left works, you need to take the best of all systems.
Reply:The assumption in your question is that:
China is a comunist country. IT IS NOT. Read the principles of Marx and you may find out that communism any country with strong central government can not qualify.
Go to China and you will find out a lot of typical capitalistic exploatation.
Sit in your chair and watch NBC, CBS, CNN and alike and you will find out that .. China is a communist country, that people in China and unhappy and we need to help them ... that we ... Americans ... are happy.
You will find also that Americans love to go to work, have 2 weeks vacations that they often do not take. You will find out that Americans are happy when stock market goes up (stock market goes up, when profits go up. Profits go up when companies give less money to workers, or replace them with ones that demand less, or outsource.)
Reply:Communism can not hold a flame to capitalism.
There is no incentive in communism to be entrepreneurial and take risks. Nor is there reason to hardly work at all. Communism would put economic and technological growth at a complete standstill.
Individuals need incentive to take risks and work hard, capitalism is the system that provides this.
Reply:If you define success by slave labor tactics and using children to manufacture toys that they will never use themselves then yes it's a rousing success. Less the abuse, starvation, lack of health insurance and meager pay. While, all the while creating wealth for the heads of State. Then yes Communism is a success. Not!

Often, local newscasts and newspapers have a reporter which specializes in consumer complainst or miscarraiges of justice. Look into who might cover your case from the local media, in order to get some free publicity, and to lend some validity to your claims. This might even draw attention from a lawyer, who may then want to take the case pro bono, or for a sign-off on the percentage of a monetary damage claim.

During the Halloween week of this year, CNN reported that Nickelodeon was brainwashing children in the United States by showing other children who are standing up for their beliefs. On January 28, 2007, Nick News with Linda Ellerbee presented “Rebels with a Cause” about five stories of children who were not afraid to take actions on their belief. All of the five stories are based on controversial social issues that we are facing as a society today. The first segment was about how children should take action on child labor used to produce clothing for United States consumers. The second segment was about a boy speaking out against the use of torture on prisoner with suspected terrorist connections. The third segment was about children hoping to bring attention to the negative impact of high stakes testing on instructional methods and to eventually change the state law. The fourth segment was about animal rights and how animals are abused in the circus. The last segment was about a girl who does not support the War in Iraq and even protested at the State Capitol in her home state. All of these Nick News stories are happening right now, and they are very important to our future.
A CNN program made a big deal about Nick News program that how a cartoon network like Nickelodeon was showing serious controversial issues in television. Children are turning to their network to watch cartoons not to become informed what is happening in the United States. On Halloween night, CNN asked child psychologists how the Nick News program would affect children. Child psychologists were against on the actions of the Nick News program, they said that Linda Ellerbee, the host of Nick News was an anti-war, anti-military and liberal person who is pushes leftist propaganda on kids. Then they asked the viewers to post their comments on the CNN blog. Most of the viewers were Christian conservative parents who do not celebrate Halloween. The CNN network needed to entertain their viewers; they knew who would be their audience on Halloween night. They found controversial stories to entertain their audience and they found the Nick News story that was additionally half year old. In addition, the commercials showed were kind of conservative bias. They showed Christian advertisements focusing to sell Bible in CD’s and DVD’s or Christians Charity commercials.
Beside what CNN was showing, online blog website was full of angrily comments against the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee “Rebels with a Cause” episode. Nevertheless, the second and last segments of episode were the most contentious segments that people will for irritated and crazy. Most of the people were angry on the boy of the second segments who was calling for the impeachment of the President. In addition, the fourth segment, the teenage girl blames America for what is happening in Iraq. The girl placed some images and videos that look she got them from Al-Jazeera network in her segments. In an online article, John Stephenson reported that one of the members of the Army Wife Toddler Mom website stated “This Nickelodeon “news program” is not a news program. It is a leftist primer on how to be a “left-wing radical rebel.” I strongly disagree with this statement; the Nick News with Linda Ellerbee had been more informative than the local news and even CNN. Children today are smart enough to form their own opinions on the issues they face. The member of the Army Wife Toddler Mom website posted that the address and contract information of Nickelodeon and asking the bloggers to call or write a letter to Nickelodeon people to fire Linda Ellerbee for brainwashing our children.

You keep deleting your old questions -- hope you're keeping the answers so you can keep track of the corrections.
The first paragraph is MUCH, MUCH better than your intro and the rest of this piece. There are many, many grammatical errors. The second %26amp; third paragraphs mirror your previous "intro" efforts. Frankly, the first paragraph sounds like you did not write it. If this is the case, you need to cite your source.
Go ahead and delete THIS question too if the answers displease you -- it's obvious that's what you've been doing. But that won't change anything.
Reply:From where you say "I strongly disagree" you should break it off and start a new paragraph. Up until this point you've been providing facts without your opinion.
Then move the final sentence up to the previous paragraph (before the "I strongly disagree") since you are continuing to relay facts. Consider a new ending line summarizing your opinion at the end of the new "opinion" paragraph.

COnfused High School Senor Need advice from?
Hi, Thanks for helping a confused to-be senior ^_^
Well, this year their is lots of pressure on me for choosing a major and ultimatly a college.
The problem is I was doing some research online and found that business major in general isn't profitable as it sound because occupations like docters, lawyers, engineers has a better staring wage and future wages and not to mention job oppurtunites.
That is why I am second thoughting taking a major in business.
The first reason I choosed business was because I like straegy, leading a unit and out-thinking oppenents type of things. SO if you have other major that might fit this description, I will like to hear from you
or you can explain why a business major might be worth pursuing.
P.S. I come from a below middle class family
So I dont have much "experimental cash" or a well networked social circle with rich people.
Thank you so much for helping me in my journey. I truely aprreciate it.
COnfused High School Senor Need advice from?
First, I'd suggest you take more English classes to improve your written-communication skills. Spelling and diction, along with grammar, is critical in ANY field.
Secondly, sure, if you want to make money, go be a doctor. Something most people don't tell you is that lawyers don't make much money, very few are RICH. And engineers can make cash, but it's a highly competitive field. If you're not the best, you won't make much.
The trick is: Pick a career that you'll ENJOY. It's not about dollars as much as it is about liking what you do. I have a friend who has a high-paying job in the stock market. He works from 8 in the morning to 10 at night. Sure, he makes 120K a year (maybe more), but he hates his job, and his next several years will be doing something he HATES.
I make 40K a year, live comfortably, and I enjoy my work.
Find something that you'll like. Then worry about cash later.

The band idea is great, I can play clubs for half the year but the other half, and I have to work. I am not so sure the members of the band will be up for that.
What would you do if you were in this situation? You are off Monday or Sunday - Wednesday nights in Houston TX
thank you in advance

Reply:Try church. The united pentecostal churches are great and there are single women there who are looking for a good guy to marry. You wont find nothing but trouble in clubs bars and parties.You can also play music in church.

Reply:When I was at high school (not so long ago) the people I had the most respect for, and who I continue to admire, are the ones who transcended the cliques.
They had the ability to strike up a conversation with anybody, to drift in and out of various groups, never had a cruel or hurtful thing to say about anybody, and if anyone was nasty to them they could just let it slide. It takes some courage and confidence to be that person, but I think you'd look back on you senior year and be proud of how you behaved.

Are you a web-o-holic?
I currently belong to about 70 or so web communities and other such social network sites and every day of my life is consumed with updated this and checking that. Does the constant preoccupation and concern for things going on online become so overbearing that its a treatable sickness? Can you possibly become a web-o-holic?

Reply:Most definitely. Internet addition is well documented. You know you are in trouble when you sacrific sleep, food or socialising to surf the net.

How do i attract more women? Im not a "bad ***" just a laid back guy looking for fun?
i asked a similar question, but it was in regard to race.. Im not that great about meeting women out of the blue.. I live in a college area, where tons of women reside. I see beautiful women everyday, but never know what a great approach would be, since most women look shook out their boots when they walk the streets... I dont want to come off as creepy, i just want to come off as an interested nice guy, who would love to get to know them.. Bar Hopping is played, and im not looking to join some crazy social network just to meet women. Im an individual, and i stand tall all by myself. I work, and i go to school.. Yes i have interests, and just hope that i can meet a woman the natural way, instead of an online dating site....is that too much to ask?
How do i attract more women? Im not a "bad ***" just a laid back guy looking for fun?
You're making it more complicated than it is.. Women like to be approached, you just have to scope it out the right way and be sensitive to her signs. K, so you are in line at a coffee shop/grocery store/whatever, and someone catches your eye.. does she hold your eye contact? or does she look away immediately (if so move on man).. Do you ever catch anyone looking your way in class? Ever have a woman ask you a random "do you know the time" question? There are so many times that I've wanted someone to talk to me, and looking back they had no clue. No matter how progressive and foward thinking we ladies of the new millenium are, we still don't wanna be the ones chasing.. Most women I know would love if a good looking guy came up and said "I'm sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to tell you that I think you are amazing...Hey, no pressure, just wanted to let you know" If you don't wanna be creepy, don't be creepy then. Don't feed generic lines, be genuine..Be relaxed, confident and not overbearing or desperate in your tone and manner and you'll be good. What's the worst that can happen, anyway?
Do you have any idea how many times we women get oogled and disrespected on a daily basis? Whistles and cat calls galore. Ew. The genuine and respectful approach will be much appreciated and welcomed.
Reply:Be patient....you will meet the lucky lady. Women really like to become friends with a man before anything else develops. Maybe a co-worker of yours is interested in you, but you just haven't opened your eyes to see her. Be attentive, I am sure women give you the look on a daily basis. Don't wait for the women in business attire, you also have to look at the women in jeans a t shirt.....she may wear business attire by day, jeans by night.

Are people who keep adding and adding and adding and adding "friends" on Myspace truly happy?
Why would anyone want hundreds of friends! What about meeting people face to face in the real world instead of adding so-called digital friends via computer, announcing them like they do in elementary school. For the younger crowd that's fine but for the 30 and 40-something mature folks--eh, I'm not sure. Seems kind of silly.
In any case, the quality of the friendships is greater when the network is small. When you keep increasing it, the quality of the bonds weaken.
How can a person keep up with that many 24/7 or are they just pretending they're close to them all - reflecting a beefed up image to the site viewers?
I'm talking about older Myspace users in the 30 and 40 age range, not teens or those in their 20s.
As for me, I'd rather meet a person in front of my own nose because that way I know who I'm dealing with. The old-fashioned way of making friends in the real world sure beats online social connecting.

Obama's Tipping Point? Not Yet.
Andrew Romano
New Supporter: Obama with Lewis. Photo: John Amis/AP.
On Wednesday I wrote that "depending how March 4 shakes out, [the Potomac Primary] results--and the likely Obama wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii--may help determine the Democratic nominee by the ides of March." My thinking went like this: After eight (and maybe 10 straight wins), the Illinois senator will lead at that point by more than 100 pledged delegates--but it won't be enough to reach magic number (2,025) by the end of primary season in June. Looking ahead, the 400 uncommitted Democratic superdelegates--the only people with the power to put either Clinton or Obama over the top--will have a choice: 1) prolong the contest through the convention, ensuring a messy, divisive battle involving Florida, Michigan and back room wheeling and dealing or 2) move en masse to the "people's choice" and get busy uniting the party for November.
But is Obama's tipping point coming sooner than even I expected? Yesterday afternoon, the New York Times (among others) reported that Rep. John Lewis, an elder statesman from the civil rights era and one of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent black supporters, is suddenly planning to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Obama in" hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention." “In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit,” said Lewis. “Something is happening in America, and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.” Hungry for news on a slow day, the media responded with typical breathlessness. "Floodgates could open," wrote Time's Mark Halperin, a reliable peddler of Beltway CW. "If Lewis breaks away, take whatever you thought Clinton’s chances of winning the nomination before and divide that number by as much as two — those would be the odds of her winning now."
Whoa, nelly. Not so fast. Sure, Lewis's "defection" is significant--but in a limited sense. For one thing, it's not really a defection; instead, Lewis is still endorsing Clinton (for the time being) but promising to cast his superdelegate vote at the convention with his Atlanta-area district, which voted three-to-one for Obama--if it comes to that. Lewis's confusing stance symbolizes a very specific political challenge facing black elected superdelegates--and black elected superdelegates only. If Obama maintains his lead among pledged delegates, members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have endorsed Clinton will face enormous pressure to switch sides. Like Lewis, many represent districts where Obama earned 85 to 90 percent support among black voters--meaning to defy their constituents and cast a vote that lots of people would see as stealing the election from the first black president would be tantamount to political suicide.

Over the past few weeks, there's been a slow drift of superdelegate support from Clinton to Obama. Not counting Lewis, Obama has gained 12 superdelegates since Feb. 5, while Clinton has lost a net of three. But until we start seeing a greater number of pols making the leap to Obama without such political pressure, I think it's a bit early to say the floodgates have opened. It may happen; it may not. But any potential tipping point is still a ways away.

Offense Taken
In this campaign, there is no room for remarks of any sort on any subject.

Michael Kinsley's article, "Offense Taken" is way off base. The example that he cited are based on relationships, yes- whether they be a cousin or a hairdresser. However, the GREAT BIG DIFFERENCE is that when someone goes out of their way to verbally expound the degree of influence that someone has on you as well as when you tout this person as a role model or "mentor" - well now this is VERY dofferent. By doing this, you indeed are connecting yourself to this person in every way since you indicated that their beliefs were used to mentor and foster your own beliefs. When you look up to someone as a mentor or role model, you are believing in the basic principles of theirs. Obama's open statements to th ereverend being his spiritual mentor and best friend makes his beliefs as suspect as the reverend's. In addition, Obama can now denounce all he wants to but how could he be a parishioner for 17 years and listen to these types of statements if as Obama NOW states are "outrageous"?
I think that we need to realy questiob Obama's truthfullness or question his judgement. In either case, the country should seriously reconsider any support for such a candidate. It is frightening that Obama's paltform really emphasizes "change" and his real agenda would seem to indicate other.
We need to change our support to Senator Clinton and assure her success in November.

well this is "midly amusing". While I am generally an advocate of Kinsley, and Slate magazine, as well as, Time magazine. I must take umbrage, with the sacastic tone of this tome. It is a thinly veiled attempt to incite debate over issues, and non-issues, which may be unrelated to the national campaign. While the Mainstream Media (MSM) has too much time on its hands, to consider a long winded campaign, the focus has shifted to non-political discourse, about intractable problems that confound american society. We have issues related to baseball players, after all, who alledgedly used illegal substances to puff up their biceps. Certainly, congress can devise a surge campaign to intervene with major league baseball, and save the poor players from the rich players. After all, the economic crisis in MLB is looming, and requires some "foreign ownership equity." This is, afterall the land of "ownership." At least that is what a young president Bush promised the american public. Once a new president is elected, a series of "signing agreements" can be implemented to remove my umbrages.

Needed: Honesty on Iraq
Without tying their hands, the candidates need to answer hard questions.
start making similar demands.
Ah, democracy in action.
UPDATE, 11:51 p.m.: Searching my inbox, I noticed that the Obama campaign has announced seven superdelegate pickups since March 4. So there might be something to my "steady drip" theory. With seven weeks until Pennsylvania, a constant stream of superdelegate endorsements is a good way to create the impression of momentum--whether or not the supers in question decided to endorse today, yesterday or last month. Conversely, a sudden flood this week might've struck observers as a show of pre-March 4 support--and left them wondering whether Obama could keep attracting superdelegates after Clinton's wins in Ohio and Texas. Now it *looks like* he is.
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama
Kamal karna roy, the reverend dr, story , may be u know yet, how about by end election of u s President 08 ?
I don't know what you are asking, but Mitt Romney is the answer.

Wall Street Crisis Forces Candidates to Shift Their Focus
The contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination raced to inject themselves into the debate over the credit and housing crisis yesterday, slamming the Bush administration's failure to do more to avoid a crisis as the economy once again surged to the forefront of the campaign.

Obama's Tipping Point? Not Yet.
Andrew Romano
New Supporter: Obama with Lewis. Photo: John Amis/AP.
On Wednesday I wrote that "depending how March 4 shakes out, [the Potomac Primary] results--and the likely Obama wins in Wisconsin and Hawaii--may help determine the Democratic nominee by the ides of March." My thinking went like this: After eight (and maybe 10 straight wins), the Illinois senator will lead at that point by more than 100 pledged delegates--but it won't be enough to reach magic number (2,025) by the end of primary season in June. Looking ahead, the 400 uncommitted Democratic superdelegates--the only people with the power to put either Clinton or Obama over the top--will have a choice: 1) prolong the contest through the convention, ensuring a messy, divisive battle involving Florida, Michigan and back room wheeling and dealing or 2) move en masse to the "people's choice" and get busy uniting the party for November.
But is Obama's tipping point coming sooner than even I expected? Yesterday afternoon, the New York Times (among others) reported that Rep. John Lewis, an elder statesman from the civil rights era and one of Hillary Clinton’s most prominent black supporters, is suddenly planning to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Obama in" hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention." “In recent days, there is a sense of movement and a sense of spirit,” said Lewis. “Something is happening in America, and people are prepared and ready to make that great leap.” Hungry for news on a slow day, the media responded with typical breathlessness. "Floodgates could open," wrote Time's Mark Halperin, a reliable peddler of Beltway CW. "If Lewis breaks away, take whatever you thought Clinton’s chances of winning the nomination before and divide that number by as much as two — those would be the odds of her winning now."
Whoa, nelly. Not so fast. Sure, Lewis's "defection" is significant--but in a limited sense. For one thing, it's not really a defection; instead, Lewis is still endorsing Clinton (for the time being) but promising to cast his superdelegate vote at the convention with his Atlanta-area district, which voted three-to-one for Obama--if it comes to that. Lewis's confusing stance symbolizes a very specific political challenge facing black elected superdelegates--and black elected superdelegates only. If Obama maintains his lead among pledged delegates, members of the Congressional Black Caucus who have endorsed Clinton will face enormous pressure to switch sides. Like Lewis, many represent districts where Obama earned 85 to 90 percent support among black voters--meaning to defy their constituents and cast a vote that lots of people would see as stealing the election from the first black president would be tantamount to political suicide.

Over the past few weeks, there's been a slow drift of superdelegate support from Clinton to Obama. Not counting Lewis, Obama has gained 12 superdelegates since Feb. 5, while Clinton has lost a net of three. But until we start seeing a greater number of pols making the leap to Obama without such political pressure, I think it's a bit early to say the floodgates have opened. It may happen; it may not. But any potential tipping point is still a ways away.
Featured, Barack Obama
