Obama Will Announce In January


I am just joining the guessing game here. I think Obama is going to announce some time in January, perhaps towards the end. That he is running. He will likely announce at least a few days before the new Congress convenes. That way you get to hog more of the limelight.

I hope he announces before the State Of The Union. Obama that way is going to suck the Bush oxygen. Already lameduck, Bush gets to become even more lameduck. The country is plain tired of Bush. It is so obvious Bush lacks strategic thinking.

He can't do it this year. 2006 is for the Congress. Do not compete.

I am sure he will run. And I am sure he will win. To me it is not if he will run. To me it is more like what will be his platform when he runs? To me it is not if he will win. To me it how great a president he will be.

January is not too early as long as you do not repeat the Howard Dean mistake: conserve the money.

He could spend much of the first year listening. It will allow him to travel far and wide. It will allow him to build a strong network. House party time all over again.

But of course, by December 1, you better have camped in Iowa and have a strong, ready base in New Hampshire. Good thing South Carolina comes soon after, and I think Nevada. Dean got it changed so two more diverse states come up pretty soon.

Obama will win all four of them.

Obama competes with himself. You can win and be good, or you can win and be great. Be great.

I think the grassroots response to Obama will be electric. Much of his money and organization will come that way.

Google's dizzying climb above $500
Chicago Tribune Having gone public just two years ago at $85 a share, it's a remarkable run-up in price for an 8-year-old California firm that searches the Internet ..... an extraordinarily innovative company dominating its field ...... Where General Motors and Ford were once at the heart of the national economy and identity, companies like Google that specialize in technology applications have taken on that role. ...... legendary Wall Street darling Berkshire Hathaway Inc., whose Class A shares trade for more than $100,000. ...... Google's net income nearly doubled from the year-earlier period, to $733.4 million. Its earnings per share beat estimates by 20 cents as its revenue jumped by 70 percent, to $2.69 billion. ....... Google accounts for 61.6 percent of all U.S. searches ..... The next biggest competitor is Yahoo, with 22.4 percent of the market ..... The one thing that's going for them is that the amount of information on the Internet keeps growing at leaps and bounds ...... the market has gotten overly excited about a very hot company in a very hot industry ...... He thinks Google is a company that should have a market valuation of $80 billion or $90 billion, or $315 a share, and not the $156 billion it was valued at ...... Google is worth more than just about any American company, save Exxon Mobil Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and a handful of others.

Nations sign pact to make fusion reactor Houston Chronicle, United States Physicists have dreamt about it for decades: harnessing the fusion process that powers the sun to make clean, safe and limitless energy. A multinational pact signed Tuesday may bring that dream a step closer to reality. ..... Seven partners representing half the world's population have agreed to build an experimental fusion reactor in southern France that could revolutionize global energy use for future generations. .... it will be decades before scientists are even sure it works. ..... The ITER project by the United States, the European Union, China, India, Russia, Japan and South Korea will attempt to combat global warming by offering an alternative to fossil fuels. ..... Physicists have been trying for half a century to create fusion, which replicates the sun's power source, produces no greenhouse gases and generates relatively little radioactive waste. ....... International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project ....... no single country can afford the immense investment needed to move the science forward. ....... 10 percent to 20 percent of the world's energy could come from fusion by the end of the century. ..... At 180 million degrees, the gas undergoes nuclear fusion, releasing energy that can be used to generate electricity. ...... Unlike fossil fuels, which are expected to run short by the end of the century, the supply of the reactor's hydrogen fuel is essentially limitless.
