Presidential Candidate Profiles: Democratic Candidates

BARAK OBAMA

Barak Obama is a U.S. Senator from Illinois, and a fresh new face of the Democratic Party. He proclaims himself “the voice of change in Washington.” He is only the fifth ever African American elected to the U.S. Senate, and the first ever to have a legitimate chance to win the nomination of a major political party.

He has raised as much money as Hillary Clinton, and has energized the left wing of the party. He is credited with the highest number of small-dollar campaign donors, and has utilized the Internet to build a following among younger voters. Current polls of Iowa voters show Obama to be ahead or tied with Senator Clinton.

Opinions

Editorial: MCC Bookstores

When you're in the opinion-editorial biz, you learn to take overwhelming public reaction in stride, and our editorial a couple issues ago (http://spectrum.mcckc.edu/archives/2007-10-26/opinions/editorial.htm) about closing the Penn Valley bookstore was no exception.

Almost immediately after publication, we could sense a powerful tsunami of student fury, swelling swift and sharp. Menacing crowds and clouds gathered near the bookstore door one morning before it opened, and we were certain we smelled a lot of warm yeast being kneaded into an uprising.
