I couldn’t resist a few remarks on my impressions of the recent American nominating convention for the Republican Party, nominating John McCain for their candidate. I’ll be relatively brief, for a change. American presidential nominating conventions have changed over my lifetime. In the 1960s and earlier, these conventions were news-making, business-like affairs, where important party […]
Barack Obama’s presidential campaign hinges on one pivot: Change!
From US’s Iraq policy to Universal Health care and from Home Financing to NAFTA, he has got a plateful of changes to offer to the American people. And it’s not a surprise that the world is seeing Obama as the agent of change, but is he for […]
According to The Associated Press tally, based on primary elections, state Democratic caucuses and support from superdelegates. It took 2,118 delegates to clinch the nomination at the convention in Denver this summer, and Obama had 2,154 by the AP count.

Whenever, elections are announced the wave of violence erupts, firing incidents, bomb explosions. I remember in 1993 two candidates going to Quetta from surrounding areas of Sibi (Balouchistan) to file their papers to contest elections. Upon approaching before each others fierce gun battle started and this fierce fighting was witnessed for about 72 hours killing […]

America has this to its credit that such initial stages of elections there have ignited so much intensity in rest of the world. That much for […]
What is the most striking similarity between Bill Clinton and Asif Ali Zardari? Powerful wives and proven scandals. Clinton is more known for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, while Zardari got his fame from gigantic corruption.
Another similarity is that they both proved disastrous for their wives. Benazir Bhutt’s both terms as a Prime Minister were […]
For those who are following the US-election 2008 or those who just tuned into CNN this morning like me are aware of Hillary Clinton’s comeback in the state of Now Hampshire. While the rest who have little or no interest in US politics or politics at all can also read on as this post […]
