Alright, I need a break.
Today at the CBS bureau, we were talking about the "huge" news in China - the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) - would never make into CBS News because everyone in the States in feverish about their own election - how the turn-out would be for Hilary now that she has won Ohio and Taxes. (YEAH~~!!!)
Nick Kristof, as usual, geared our attention to what really matters in an election.
Voters should remember this: A president may or may not be able to improve schools or protect manufacturing jobs in Ohio, but a president probably could help wipe out malaria. Compared with other challenges a president faces, saving a million children’s lives a year is the low-hanging fruit.
Improving children's health and eradicating malaria, these things cost too little and reward too much for a candidate to ignore. Fortunately, as Kristof pointed out, all the candidates seem to notice this, though their stress on this issue might differ. Here you can see McCain, Hilary and Obama's stance on these fundamental issues. McCain is a bit dodgy on these matters; Hilary and Obama's plans are basically the same.
