June 27, 2008
What would motivate North Korea, which has always been secretive, to release a report to the U.S. on its nuclear capabilities? Is Justice Kennedy the sole authority on what is constitutional or not today? He's had the swing vote in many of the 5-4 decisions this term.

How many habaes corpus peitions are awaiting action and when will they go to court now? How does Sen. Obama’s record on earmarks compare to Sen. McCain? And is McCain as squeaky clean on as he claims?

June 6, 2008
Sen. McCain has challenged Sen. Obama to a series of town hall debates in the coming months. Is this likely to happen? And if it does, who is more likely to benefit, McCain or Obama? Will Sen. Obama be with Sen. Clinton tomorrow when she suspends her campaign and endorses him?

May 30, 2008
What effect are Scott McClellan's revelations likely to have on the presidential race? Does this at all weaken Sen. John McCain given his stalwart support of the war? What is the best case scenario outcome for Sen. Clinton when the DNC rules committee meets this weekend? What is she hoping for? President Bush has such negative approval ratings right now that it's hard to believe he was much of an asset to Sen. McCain this week at the fundraising events they went to. Not so?

What have we learned about the future of US-Cuban relations since Raul Castro has assumed power from his brother? How would the Democratic primary results have come out if the Democrats used the same "winner-take-all" approach as the Republicans for allocating pledged delegates?

What kind of relationship, if any, do Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain have? Do we have any idea what the Democratic National Committee will decide on May 31 concerning the fate of Michigan and Florida's delegates?

Does Rev. Wright have any more public appearances planned? Was this the end of it or will there be more? Why does the Fed keep cutting interest rates? Doesn't that weaken the dollar even more? Will the Supreme Court’s decision on voter identification influence Tuesday’s primary election in Indiana?

April 25, 2008
The Republican Party settled on Sen. McCain as their candidate a couple of weeks ago. Yet, this week in Pennsylvania, Ron Paul won 16% of the Republican vote and Mike Huckabee won 11%. Was this the result of early voting or does it reflect a feeling of discontent among some important sectors of the Republican party regarding their nominee? Will we see much difference between Gen. Petraeus and Lt. Gen. Odierno? Why did Admiral Fallon step down unexpectedly?

April 18, 2008
Is the ongoing democratic competition actually strengthening John McCain’s campaign? Was the Pope’s visit to the U.S. simply symbolic or do his words have the potential for effect? Will executions resume nationwide now that the Supreme Court has made its ruling?

April 11, 2008
While Democrats may not agree with the current Iraq policy, do they respect Gen. Petraeus for his work over the past year? Why is a treaty with Colombia needed? How would it help the US? It seems like there are a number of proposals to try and fix the current housing crisis. How soon could homeowners actually see results from either the senate or White House plans and what needs to happen to make them a reality?
