1. Hillary's College Thesis Finally Revealed
Hillary Clinton may have a little-known Achilles' heel as she runs for
president in 2008 - a thesis she wrote as a 21-year-old senior at Wellesley
College in 1969.
The research paper examined the work of radical community organizer Saul
Alinsky, whom she called "a man of exceptional charm."
One indication of the Clintons' sensitivity about the thesis is that they
had it locked away from public view for the eight years of Bill Clinton's
presidency.
The Clintons asked Wellesley in 1993 to hide Hillary's senior thesis, and
Wellesley's president approved a rule that made any senior thesis of a graduate
available in the women-only college's archives for anyone to read - except for
those written by either a president or first lady, MSNBC reporter Bill Dedman
disclosed.
Conservative commentator Barbara Olson, who died in the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, charged in a book about Hillary that the thesis was kept from public
view because Hillary "did not want the American people to know the extent to
which she internalized the beliefs and methods of Saul Alinsky."
Alinsky founded a group in the Chicago area that trained leftist
organizers around the country, and his Industrial Areas Foundation Training
Institute numbered among its students labor organizer Cesar Chavez. In
researching her thesis, Clinton met face to face with Alinsky, who died in 1972.
"Although some Clinton biographers have been quick to label Alinsky a
communist, he maintained that he never joined the Communist Party," Dedman
noted.
Hillary's thesis became available to researchers after the Clintons left
the White House. But it can be viewed only by those who actually visit the
Wellesley archive in Wellesley, Mass., 12 miles west of Boston, and readers can
copy only a few pages.
A stolen copy was offered for sale on eBay in 2001, but it was withdrawn
when Clinton's staff cited copyright law, according to Dedman.
The title of Hillary's thesis, "There Is Only the Fight," is taken from a
line of poetry written by T.S. Eliot: "There is only the fight to recover what
has been lost and found and lost again and again."
In the paper, Clinton wrote: "Much of what Alinsky professes does not
sound 'radical.' She also opined: "If the ideals Alinsky espouses were
actualized, the result would be social revolution."
She closed the thesis by stating that she placed Alinsky in "the pantheon
of social action," Dedman writes, "next to Martin Luther King, the
poet-humanist Walt Whitman, and Eugene Debs, the labor leader now best
remembered as the five-times Socialist Party candidate for president."
Republican political consultant Chris Lacivita, who co-produced the
"Swift Boat" ads in 2004 that questioned presidential candidate John Kerry's
Vietnam service, told MSNBC that nothing from a candidate's past is off-limits
for negative advertising.
"What someone did or said 35 years ago is certainly fair game, especially
if you're running for president of the United States," he said, adding that he
plans to read the thesis "very soon."

2. Candidates Mine for Campaign Gash in California
Californians contributed at least $502 million to federal campaigns in
the past four years, nearly 25 percent more than runner-up New York and about
13 percent of all federal campaign funds raised nationally.
"It is the place you go to get political money," said Sheila Krumholz,
director of the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington.
And candidates are indeed going, the Los Angeles Times reports. In the
last few weeks, Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack
Obama, Christopher Dodd and Joseph Biden have visited the state, as have
Republicans John McCain and Rudolph Giuliani. Mitt Romney has scheduled a March
visit.
Clinton raised $7.7 million in California for her Senate campaign, and
the state has been the second largest source of cash for Obama, after his home
state of Illinois.
Californians donated $6.6 million directly to candidates in the six races
that gave Democrats control of the Senate last November.
"Donors' motives vary," according to the Times. "They might be trying to
gain an edge in business, or access to powerful officials. Some win
perquisites, such as ambassadorships. Many are ideologues whose passions run
high on the war or health care or taxes."
The largest single contributor over the past four years is Los Angeles
movie producer Stephen Bing, who gave nearly $14.2 million to federal
candidates, most of them Democrats. But Republicans have also raked in plenty
of cash from the Golden State, with A. Jerrold Perenchio, chairman of the
Univision television network, giving $9.94 million to GOP campaigns.

3. President Bush's Home 'Model of Environmental Rectitude'
Al Gore preaches energy conservation in the face of global warming - and
lives in a Tennessee mansion that consumes more electricity in a month than the
average American household uses in a year.
President Bush has drawn criticism for being insensitive about
environmental issues - and his "Texas White House" is a model of
environmentally friendly living.
Marc Morano, communications director for the U.S. Senate Committee on
Environment & Public works, called the glaring discrepancy to the attention of
NewsMax, and noted on the committee's Web site: "Former Vice President Al Gore
has been criticized for his rather large electric bills . . . What you might
not have heard about is how environmentally friendly President George Bush's
home is in Crawford, Texas."
On the site, Morano reprints part of a Chicago Tribune story from 2001
that describes Bush's Texas home: "Geothermal heat pumps located in a central
closet circulate water through pipes buried 300 feet deep in the ground where
the temperature is a constant 67 degrees; the water heats the house in the
winter and cools it in the summer. Systems such as the one in this
'eco-friendly' dwelling use about 25 percent of the electricity that
traditional heating and cooling systems utilize.
"A 25,000-gallon underground cistern collects rainwater gathered from
roof runs; wastewater from sinks, toilets and showers goes into underground
purifying tanks and is also funneled into the cistern. The water from the
cistern is used to irrigate the landscaping surrounding the four-bedroom home.
Plants and flowers native to the high prairie area blend the structure into the
surrounding ecosystem . . .
"The 4,000-square-foot house is a model of environmental rectitude."
Last week NewsMax reported that Gore's mansion in the Belle Meade area of
Nashville devoured more than 20 times as much electricity as the national
average.
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research disclosed that Gore last year
paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his
estate.

4. Republicans Like Gingrich for President
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich received surprisingly strong support
from Republican voters in an online poll by vote.com - even though he hasn't
entered the 2008 presidential race.
The Web site asked: "If the Republican presidential primary were held
today, who would you vote for?"
After nearly 30,000 votes had been counted, Gingrich topped the survey
with 41 percent, while Rudolph Giuliani finished a strong second at 33 percent.
Mitt Romney ran a distant third at 12 percent, followed by John McCain (7
percent), Sam Brownback (3 percent), Mike Huckabee (3 percent) and Chuck Hagel,
1 percent.
Vote.com CEO Eileen McGann said: "This survey shows the strong support
for Gingrich getting into the race among Republican base voters and
demonstrates how little progress McCain has made in appealing to the core of
the GOP."

5. Condi: Obama is 'Extraordinary'
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama has received praise from
across the aisle - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice gushed that the Illinois
senator is "a great person."
"He's on my committee and we've always had good exchanges," she said,
referring to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Obama is a member, and
Rice frequently testifies there. "I think he's very appealing and a good
person. I think he's an extraordinary person."
Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Rice was asked about a recent Gallup Poll
in which 94 percent of respondents said they were willing to vote for an
African-American for president, the New York Post reported.
"I think it just shows that we've come a very long way.
"I will say race is still a factor. When a person walks into a room, I
think people still see race. But it's less and less of a barrier to believing
that person can be your doctor, or your lawyer, or a professor in your
university, or the CEO of a company. And it will not be long, I think, before
it's no longer a barrier to being president of the United States."
But she dodged the question when asked if Obama had the experience to be
president, saying: "The American people are going to make that choice."

6. We Heard . . .
THAT conservative pundit Ann Coulter appears in a new anti-evolution DVD
titled "Darwin's Deadly Legacy."
According to a promotional blurb for the film quoted by Editor &
Publisher, "This 60-minute special features experts such as . . . Ann Coulter
who will show why evolution is a bad idea that should be discarded into the
dustbin of history."
In her latest best-selling book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism,"
Coulter devotes the last 80 pages to an attack on the theory of evolution,
which she calls "a patent absurdity."
THAT the first reporter to expose the President Bill Clinton scandal that
became known as Chinagate was none other than NewsMax contributing editor
Kenneth Timmerman.
NewsMax CEO and columnist Christopher Ruddy recently touched on the
scandal in an article about Hillary Clinton headlined "Back to the Future,
Clinton-style," noting:
"It has been acknowledged that some of America's most guarded nuclear
secrets, including our ballistic missile technology, were passed to China with
[Clinton's] OK. Before this, China was so backward that its missiles would
often blow up soon after launch. Today, they can hit U.S. cities with pinpoint
accuracy."
Timmerman said he was the first to write about the scandal, while at Time
magazine in July 1994. According to Timmerman, his story was set to go to press
when a Clinton administration political appointee faxed Time's executive editor
complaining that his coverage was "one-sided," and Time "fired me on the spot."
Timmerman later took the article to The American Spectator.
THAT Katie Couric fears Hollywood's embrace of global warming may turn
off America.
After the recent Academy Awards - where Al Gore's global warming
documentary received an Oscar - the "CBS Evening News" anchor wrote on her blog:
"As the throngs of celebrities greeted Al Gore as a secular saint, I
wondered if this might usher in a backlash against environmentalists . . .
"Gore has repeatedly said the environment is not a Democratic or
Republican issue; it's a moral issue. But now that Hollywood has so completely
embraced the former vice president, one wonders if this issue will be
associated only with liberal causes."
THAT conservative radio talk-show host Michael Savage has signed with
Creative Artists Agency, the world's leading talent and literary agency.
Savage's daily syndicated radio program, "Savage Nation," airs on more
than 370 stations nationwide and reaches an audience of 8 million listeners
weekly.
He is also the author of 18 books, including "The Political Zoo" and
three other New York Times best sellers.
THAT conservative Christians now have their own Wikipedia-like online
encyclopedia - Conservapedia.
The site was launched in November by Andy Schlafly, an attorney and son
of conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, and 58 students at a school in New
Jersey, mediabistro.com reports. It currently has more than 3,800 entries.
According to Conservapedia's mission statement, "Conservapedia is a
much-needed alternative to Wikipedia, which is increasingly anti-Christian and
anti-America . . .
"Conservapedia is an online resource and meeting place where we favor
Christianity and America."
