...Malcolm Turnbull "We need to have all of our energy being zero-emission." Experience: Environment and Water Minister since Jan. '07 Charismatic republican and investment banker on the political rise - if he retains his marginal Sydney seat. Said after the 1999 republic referendum that monarchist Howard had "broken this nation's heart." Has swiftly mastered a key portfolio but drawn criticism for approving a new pulp mill in Tasmania. Believed to support ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, in contrast to government position...
...Rise of an Underdog Joel Stein's repeated references to Republican Ron Paul's campaign as "nerdy," especially the idea of a "free-market commodity-based money," indicates how ignorant most Americans are about the monetary system [Nov. 12]. Money affects virtually every interaction we have with other people.

"Number one," he says, "Just because Grassley's investigating Copeland doesn't mean Huckabee thinks he's guilty. And number two, Huckabee is courting so many different camps...
...skillful use of religious media may be more important to Republican presidential wannabes this campaign than in the past. Various religious conservative groups are chasing different agendas so they haven't been trying to unite behind a candidate, which means the candidates must woo them one by one. This could have been done more efficiently when a few shows like Pat Robertson's 700 Club dominated the evangelical remote. But that program has faded and Grady says the Christian TV market is almost as fragmented as the Republican field. The largest network, the Trinity Broadcasting Network, airs several...
