MDR Info, the main source for radio news in the Mitteldeutschland region, interviewed American Studies Leipzig about President Obama’s winning the Nobel Peace Prize and the very mixed reactions in the United States about the award.

NYT: Following the Script: Obama, McCain and The West Wing

Submitted by Caterina Rost on Fri, 10/31/2008 - 02:47

I knew it… Today the New York Times featured an article that describes the similarities of the last two seasons of “The West Wing“ and the current presidential election. It’s stunning and if you haven’t seen the series yet, you should, it’s fabulous.

What If Obama Loses?

Submitted by Caterina Rost on Wed, 10/29/2008 - 20:16

The polls have been very clear over the last couple of months: An Obama victory on November 4th seems very likely according to the pollsters. Some commentators have even started talking about the possibility of a landslide. And they have good reason to speculate, states that haven’t voted for a Democrat for President in decades are suddenly in play.
