...pull others through,” she said. And women need to “be comfortable with being powerful,” she added. Katie A. Beck ’08, a Michigan resident and also a Crimson editor, called Granholm “an amazing role model for women and people who are interested in politics.” Before her speech, Granholm was honored by the Kennedy School of Government with the first-ever Pathfinder Award. Kennedy School Lecturer in Public Policy Jerry E. Mechling ‘65 said the award will honor public officials...
...replied, "Not just when I'm shaving." Sarkozy has based his appeal on a vow to cause a "rupture" with the way France has been run for the past 30 years. He criticizes France's 35-hr. workweek and calls for economic liberalization instead of the traditional welfare-state model to which Chirac, de Villepin and the socialist opposition pay fealty.

This time the model is Newt Gingrich's Contract with America campaign of 1994, in which Republicans across the country ran on the same 10 reforms and took control of the House after 40 years. "We're going to have all our candidates on the Capitol steps" just as Gingrich did, Emanuel says...
...times, basic competence has been an issue for Bush. His privatization of certain government functions, such as payroll, public defenders and technology, has been beset by logistical snafus and a few contracting scandals. And although he was considered a model of leadership during four hurricanes in 2004, Bush did not get such good reviews in the wake of Wilma because relief supplies were hard to come by. As he is about to begin his final year in office, Bush is often mentioned as a Republican presidential prospect in 2008 or 2012. Still, many observers think he will focus instead...
