And if he changes his mind about getting in the race, Schoen said, Sheekey will be ready. "(Sheekey) has done a very, very sophisticated analysis of the electorate," Schoen said. "I think Sheekey probably knows more about American voters - and particularly these restless and anxious moderates - than anyone operating. And I think he has a sense as to what the electorate is looking for; and armed with that information and how the race plays out in the next two or three weeks, on both the Democratic and Republican side, I think you will see if the mayor changes his mind." Knowledge of the so-called Sheekey "master plan" has been out there for some time - perhaps it started here? But Schoen has been doing a lot of chatting with the media these days to coincide with the release this week of his new book, "Delcaring Independence: The Beginning of the End of the Two-Party System." .
Cells, texting give predators secret path to kids
The same cell phones that parents buy as safety devices for their children are the gadgets that pedophiles and predators use to prep kids for sexual encounters, experts and police say. The latest case is out of Pennsylvania. Police say a 26-year-old P.E. teacher admitted to having sex with a 14-year-old student in the school's parking lot. Detectives from the Moon Township Police Department said they found nude pictures of Beth Ann Chester on the teen's cell phone along with text messages. Chester faces 14 charges, including three counts of sexual abuse of a child and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. Watch police describe how Chester explained the relationship » Robert Del Greco, Chester's attorney, declined CNN's request for a comment.
Darfur peace talks in Libya produce only an emboldened Khartoum
As recently as November 9, 2007, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon noted yet again that Khartoum has failed to accept the proposed civilian police and security personnel---more than three months after Resolution 1769, and a year after discussions of such a force were begun in Addis Ababa. China is again supporting Khartoum without qualification despite other forms of obstructionism by the regime, including the refusal to grant land necessary for housing UNAMID forces; denying landing rights for critically important heavy transport aircraft; denying adequate port access; refusing to guarantee unrestricted flights; and refusing to guarantee reporting independence for monitors and other personnel. These forms of obstructionism are detailed in a recent Amnesty International report (see below), as well as by a number of UN officials.
