Friday, January 4, 2008

Lou’s new book INDEPENDENTS DAY is now on sale in bookstores
and on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. In Independents Day,
Lou issues a rallying cry to American citizens eager for a
change, focusing particularly on the critical issues and
challenges of the 2008 election.

Tonight, can Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee repeat their Iowa
success in New Hampshire, where their better-financed
competitors still lead in the polls? We’ll have complete
coverage of the Iowa contest and a preview of New Hampshire and
beyond from CNN’s political team.

Job growth in December just hit the lowest level in more than
four years. For the past six months, the economy has not even
added enough jobs to even keep up with new workers entering the
workforce—sending unemployment to the highest level in two
years. A closer look tonight at the bleak jobs picture, even as
President Bush continues to tout the economy’s strength.

New York is the only state that hasn't complied with new
federal election standards. Now a federal judge is threatening
to jail election officials in the state. A plan to update those
standards is due today. But will state officials submit it in
time? We’ll have the story.

The Food and Drug Administration is set to announce that meat
and milk from cloned animals is safe to eat. But given recent
food recalls, and the inability of the FDA to ensure the safety
of even conventional meat, dairy and produce—can they really be
trusted to ensure the safety of meat from cloned animals?
Please join us for that important story.

And we'll be joined by three of the nation's best political
minds to discuss the outcome of the Iowa Caucuses.
