Summary
An 8 year old Arizona boy shot and killed his father and his fathers' housemate. The mother of the 8 year old boy said she saw a scared little boy. That he is a typical 8 year old who likes to ride his dirt bike, skateboard and be a typical kid. The video of his confession reveals that he confessed to what he did and to protect him his mother said that he loved his father very much and that they spent a lot of time together. Saying they were very close and the boy acted on fear. The judge of this case plans to release the boy to spend thanksgiving with his mother and then go back to being held.
Opinion
Well this is a very shady case in my opinion. If the boy was so close to his father why would he shoot him. I dont know if the mother is trying to protect him or if she is in denial. I think that she is leading the public to believe that maybe the father did something terrible to the boy and he was scared so he decided to shoot and kill his father. But on the video the boy didn't seem like her knew what he has done. He played it off to be a casual deal. I think that something is unresolved in this case. I think there needs to be a further investigation.

Candidates follow debate with attack TV ads
Summary
The day after John McCain's and Barrack Obama's debate, the two are attacking each other. They continue to attack each other through T.V. ads. McCain says that Obama is risking lives by voting against a war spending bill in May 2007. And Obama replies by saying that he is not voting against the funding for troops but the with drawl of them. Then Obama comes back to bash McCain by telling the people that in the debate McCain had a lot of stuff to say about me but nothing about you. He never used the words working class or middle class. In an attempt to reach the middle and working class that John McCain is not the right man for the job.
Opinion
Like Holea Bruggemen i absolutely get sick and tired of presidential ads on the T.V. It really doesn't effect my view on the other candidate because half the time its a bunch of inaccurate information. My opinion is similar to Holeas opinion. I believe that the presidential candidates should focus more on themselves than the others flaws. Its important that we get this country back on track. And living in the middle class i think that whoever represents the middle class better would affect my vote very much so.

Sen. Ted Stevens Convicted on 7 Corruption Counts, Pledges to Pursue Campaign
Summary
Senator Tod Stevens who was convicted of 7 corruption counts believes that the verdict was a disappointment but isn't suprised due to the prosecutional misconduct used in the case. Stevens says that he will fight this with all of his energy. Stevens later says that he is inncocent and only pleaded guilty due to the misconducted of the trial. Stevens says to the public that he is coming home and he asks for your vote.
Opinion
I agree with Marvin Wensman on this issue. I also believe that this issue will cost Stevens his reelection and his campaign will also be shattered. It already has been a difficult race against the democratic canidate Mark Begich. He was being projected to win and now with this issue at hand, i believe strongly that Begich will win in a huge margin. I also agree with Marvin that this isn't a huge deal given the issues of our economy at hand right now. The press needs to stop trying to find negatives but thats going to happen no matter what. Our economic situation is far more important than this issue.

Obama says he didn't know aunts illegal status
Summary
On Saturday Presidential canidate Barrack Obama said that he did not know anything about his aunts illegal status in the United States. Zeituni Onyango, is the half sister of Obamas late father. She is native of Kenya was supposed to leave the United States four years ago. Is living in public housing the Boston. Obama says that all of the laws will be followed. Obamas campaign was quick to respond in saying that Obama had no knowledge of his aunts illegal status here in the U.S.
Opinion
I think that this might drive some people away from Obama. It kind of makes Obama seem more of an outsider. He may not have known about his aunts status or he could have and made some adjustments so that she could stay in America. I am not sure what it is but i think that Obama might lose a few votes with this issue coming up so close to the election. It also shows that America is full of diversity and that diversity might not help him win presidency. He definatly has a different background than most of our former presidents and that may be what we need, or it may not.
