...trip the Dems have organized this year. Twenty-nine students, including three Harvard Law students, spent the day convincing voters to support their candidate. Students volunteered for the campaigns of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), former Sen. John Edwards, and Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.). Several students campaigned against New Hampshire Sen. John E. Sununu, a Republican. Jeanne Shaheen, the former director of the Institute of Politics, will seek Sununu’s senate seat in 2008. The campaigners were split almost evenly between the Clinton and Obama camps, with a small group...
...suggested, without naming her, that Clinton would be too divisive a figure to achieve such a difficult political feat: "The real key to passing any health care reform is the ability to bring people together in an open, transparent process that builds a broad consensus for change."

Having small children is also what apparently motivates Chris Dodd to run for President, who announced he's running "not just as a public servant, but as a parent, the father of two young daughters - ages five and 22 months." In this sense, both are lucky to have fathered two small children late in life, because it just doesn...
...Summer of Service. One hundred thousand students would volunteer for organizations like City Year, a national volunteering program and think tank, or Citizen Schools, which organizes after-school activities for middle schoolers, and run summer programs for younger students in exchange for a $500 college scholarship. Senators Christopher Dodd (Democrat, Conn.) and Thad Cochran (Republican, Miss.) and Representative Rosa DeLauro (Democrat, Conn.) have sponsored a bill that would support a service "rite of passage" for students before they begin high school...
