Post, "Ben's retirement is a huge loss for Nebraska. I am very sad he's leaving. That is as far as I am going (right now)."Democrats acknowledged the party will face a steep uphill battle to hold on to Nelson's seat, but pointed to a crowded Republican primary field with no obvious front-runner. The contenders include Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning, state Treasurer Don Stenberg, state Sen. Deb Fischer, and investment adviser Pat Flynn."This virtually guarantees a Republican victory in 2012," said University of Nebraska Lincoln political scientist Mike Wagner. "There's almost no scenario in which a Democrat can win -- especially at this late stage."National Republican party leaders also have encouraged Gov. Dave Heineman to join the race, but Heineman has said it would take a lot to persuade him to run.The Senate's Democratic campaign chairman, Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, said she expected that Republicans would "have their hands full with a very divi
BEIJING A long-awaited government report said design flaws and sloppy management caused a bullet train crash in July that killed 40 people and triggered a public outcry over the high cost and dangers of China's showcase transportation system.A former railway minister was among 54 officials found responsible for the crash, a Cabinet statement said Wednesday.The crash report was highly anticipated by the public. Regulations required the government to release the report by Nov. 20. When that date passed, the government offered little explanation, drawing renewed criticism by state media, which have been unusually skeptical about the handling of the accident and the investigation.The Cabinet statement cited "serious design flaws and major safety risks" and what it said were a string of errors in equipment procurement and management.The report affirmed earlier government statements that a lightning strike caused one bullet train to stall and a sensor failure allowed
Syrian border to the Iranian border, is one of Iraq's most nagging post-Saddam era problems. American forces for years acted as a buffer between the Kurds and Arabs in the area by building partnerships between Iraqi army forces and their Kurdish counterparts known as the peshmerga. But after the U.S. troops' withdrawal, officials warn violence could flare there.Parliament speaker Osama al-Nujaifi, a Sunni Arab nationalist from Ninevah and an outspoken opponent to Kurdish land ambitions, called the granting of the exploration blocs an "unacceptable violation" of Ninevah's administrative boundaries and demanded it be annulled. Opposition to the Kurds' moves is one of the few things that unite Sunni Arabs and the Shiite parties that dominate the Baghdad government.A day earlier, a Ninevah provincial delegation to Baghdad files an official complaint to the government, according to provincial councilman Abdul-Rahim al-Shimmari.Baghdad and the Kurdish government have
r potential embarrassment for Gingrich, who is leading Romney in most national polls for the GOP nomination.But with a week to go before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, Gingrich has slipped to third place in that state behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Romney. On other issues including climate change and mortgage giant Freddie Mac, Gingrich has struggled to reconcile his stance as a conservative with his long history of policy positions that sometimes run counter to that.Gingrich's rise to the top of the field has come in part from his bashing Romney for engineering a state health care expansion that became a model for President Barack Obama's 2010 health law. "Your plan essentially is one more big-government, bureaucratic, high-cost system," Gingrich told Romney during an October debate in Las Vegas. He said Romney was trying to solve Massachusetts' health care problems "from the top down."R.C. Hammond, a spokesman for Gingrich, said the April 2006 essay sh
ie Battley Gingrich responded to the judge by saying she did not desire one at this time although she had adequate and ample grounds for divorce.Gingrichs campaign website officially quotes the candidates daughter, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, on questions about his first divorce: It was her mother that requested the divorce, not Newt.Asked about the apparent contradiction at a media avail in Dubuque, Gingrich declined to comment, emphasizing that the divorce was 30-years-old.You can read my younger daughter's column and talk to her, he said. She covered it more than I could have and that's all I'm going to say."Callista, Gingrichs third wife and twenty years his junior, was in familiar territory during her debut at the campaign mic. A former student at Luther College, she told the audience she had lived on the floor above the Mabe's Pizza her senior year.Since 2005, the Gingrich Foundation has annually gifted $25,000 to Luther College for the Newt L. and Callista
