Who is Barack Obama?

Who exactly is Barack Obama, and why does he deserve to be President? Obama is a Democratic senator from Illinois, who is sitting as only the fifth African American Senator in United States history. Couple that with the fact that he is currently the only African American serving in the Senate and you must concede that he is definitely determined.

Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996 for the first time, and since has served 3 terms there, including this term. He tried a very unsuccessful run in 2000 for the United States House of Representatives. He lost by a margin of 61% to 30%, and lost to four term incumbent Bobby Rush, whom was a former Black Panther. It leads people to question, if he was unsuccessful at a House of Representatives bid, how is he going to be successful at a bid for the White House.

One major point which will likely help Obama is he won an endorsement from the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police for his support of gun control measures. Coming in the weeks and months following the tragic Virginia Tech massacre, this one point may really pull him ahead of some of the other candidates for the election since so many families are feeling the brutal pain and faced with burying their loved ones. Is this enough, will this one measure be enough to place Barack Obama in the White House?

At this point it looks as if not, but that's not to say that Obama does not have his supporters, in fact he is in the lead as one of the 2008 Presidential hopefuls who has accumulated the most money so far. Will this success rate hold out, it is really enough and does he have enough supporters to win this election? At this point, Obama is leading the polls in the youth votes, with more young adults supporting him than any other democratic candidate.

Last polls showed that Obama lead the race with 35% of the 18 to 24 year-old crowd, with Hillary Clinton coming in at second place with 28% of the same age group. While these numbers may not seem high, they represent thousands of people in the difference. The 2006 midterm election saw a huge turnout of young voters, and analysts are wondering if 2008 will see another huge increase of youth voters coming out to express their opinion.

Obama is a relative newcomer to the political arena, especially the national arena which is a hard place to be successful, and battling Clinton is no small feat, especially since she has been a major political figure since her husband was elected President in 1992. But with all of Hillary's experience, can Barack pull ahead and win? He has managed to pull in 104,000 donors for his election fund. Will all of those votes actually manage to pull through and pay off at election time?

Will his stand on guns and his place in the youth poles be enough to move him towards the White House in a successful bid? Time will tell as the Democratic hopefuls' battle it out in the political arena. One thing has been clear, at this point Obama has made it clear he is not running for the number two slot on a ticket, he is running to win.

Exploring Junior Womens Golf Equipment

For some women of smaller stature, or youths who are female, it will be very important to do the correct research in order to make sure that the junior womens golf equipment that is chosen is the best type for the young lady. Predominantly, many people view the game of golf as a male sport. Fortunately for females, the female gender and their interest in golf is beginning to get some more exposure lately.

As a result, the types and styles of equipment that have become available are a little more varied and more likely to appeal to the more feminine golf players. Some people may find that they have some trouble finding junior womens golf equipment in their sporting goods store that is located near them. Even if they are able to find some junior womens golf equipment, there is usually not the most extensive selection for these young women to choose from. This can make it very difficult for these people to come to a conclusion when it comes to golf equipment that they are happy with using on a regular basis. Because of this, it can be very helpful for people to learn about using the internet as a resource in order to be able to find different types of junior womens golf equipment.

By utilizing the search engine on the internet, a person can find many different types of effective junior womens golf equipment. Not only are there different types of equipment that can be found, but they will also be able to be found in a variety of different styles that the individual might ordinarily not be able to find. Golf clubs and other types of golf equipment are the tools that are necessary in order to connect the player to the game of golf. Being able to find tools that a person feels connected to is just as important in the game of golf as if the sport were baseball, softball or football. This is why so many people would benefit from using the internet in order to locate the proper types and styles of junior womens golf equipment.

Women players should not have to suffer simply because the audience for women golfers is not wide enough in order to warrant the sporting good stores having as extensive an inventory for the women as for the men. Instead, these players should look into solving their problem by using the internet in order to purchase the equipment that they need in order to play.

In addition to having a good selection of supplies, the stores on the internet are also more likely to have competitive prices when it comes to junior womens golf equipment. This is important for individuals that are working on a tight budget or just those who want to be able to conserve their available funds. Having so many stores centrally located on the internet is the main factor that leads to the competitive prices that many consumers are able to enjoy while shopping on the internet for golf equipment and other items that the consumers might need on a regular basis.

Your New Baby, Blogging, and Modern Motherhood

For the mother of a new baby, blogging is likely to be
the last thing on her mind. Taking care of an infant is an
almost incredible amount of work, and between
changing diapers and putting the final touches on the
nursery, it seems unrealistic to imagine that there would
be time left over for any mother to blog. However, a
growing number of new moms are joining the
blogosphere to share their experiences during this
exciting time of life. There is a whole range of benefits
that new mothers can reap from blogging, and the
spectrum covers everything from getting through the
night to helping distant relatives feel closer.

Among the reasons why, for a mom dealing with the
hassles and triumphs of a baby, blogging is a great idea,
is that having a blog about motherhood is a great way to
blow off some steam. Babies often have very erratic
sleep patterns that leave parents up at odd hours of the
night, and sometimes the best way to fill those hours is
on the internet. Many new moms turn to television to
help them weather these dawn vigils, but by blogging
through the night moms can turn what feels like a
somewhat depressing situation into an actively positive
and productive one.

Another reason why new moms often find blogging
very satisfying is that it helps them to be a part of a
community. For moms who are not able to successfully
juggle a full social life with the very tough demands of
taking care of a new baby, blogging can be a great way
to stave off the isolation that sometimes comes with this
stage of life. A baby requires constant attention, and it
can be difficult to attend social gatherings or events
when you are responsible for an infant. Luckily, the
blogosphere is full of other moms in the same situation,
and by chatting with them it is possible to overcome
some of the loneliness that many new mothers are
surprised to encounter.

Of course, for a mom with an adorable new baby,
blogging can be as much about celebration as it is about
necessity. Having a blog about living with a new child
can give mothers the chance to reflect on how powerful
and warm the sensation of motherhood is, and
sometimes sharing the triumphs of this unique time can
make them even sweeter. A blog is a great way to keep
friends and family updated with news about your baby's
first words or first steps, and with new technology it is
easier than ever to make photos and video clips a part of
your blog, so you can give far-away relatives the chance
to feel much more involved in your child's life.
