Among the key findings: Two-thirds (67 percent) of consumers said that electronic health records are at least slightly important in their selection of a physician, and half (51 percent) said they would be willing to pay for the service, if the price were reasonable.

Chicago mayor could set record in office - Yahoo! News

Chicago mayor could set record in office - Yahoo! News: "CHICAGO - Poised to surpass the tenure of his legendary father and become Chicago's longest-serving mayor, Richard M. Daley said he's not obsessing about his legacy. 'Once you start worrying about legacies, you start making decisions to make your legacy,' Daley said after trouncing two little-known challengers to win a sixth term Tuesday. 'You get too caught up in this, 'I have to write a book, I'm worried about my legacy, I'm worried about maybe a movie, a documentary.' I think it's not worth it.' Shaking off questions about a City Hall corruption scandal, Daley coasted to victory in the nonpartisan election over Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown and William 'Dock' Walls, an aide to the late Mayor Harold Washington. With 96 percent of precincts reporting early Wednesday, Daley had 311,417 votes, or 71 percent of the total, while Brown had 86,964 votes, or 20 percent, and Walls had 38,012, or 9 percent. 'I think my dad would be very proud,' Daley said. Daley will have served 22 years as mayor at the end of this latest term. His father, Richard J. Daley, died in office after serving 21 years. Daley's opponents tried to make an issue of corruption and a federal investigation that began with bribes paid to city officials for trucking work and expanded to city hiring practices. The 64-year-old Daley, who was first elected in 1989, has not been accused of wrongdoing."

Schwarzenegger muscles in as 2008 looms - Yahoo! Canada News

Schwarzenegger muscles in as 2008 looms - Yahoo! Canada News: "WASHINGTON (AFP) - Arnold Schwarzenegger's foreign birth might bar him from a 2008 White House run, but that won't stop him from muscling into a leading role in the race to choose America's next president. The former Hollywood tough-guy, re-elected in a landslide as California's governor last year, was in Washington Monday, rebuking squabbling Democrats and Republicans and touting his born-again brand of 'post partisanship' politics. Schwarzenegger watchers say the Austrian-born celebrity is angling for a role on the national stage and is in prime position to sway the battle for his Republican Party's presidential nomination. 'For too long, this town has been about divide and conquer,' Schwarzenegger told political insiders at the National Press Club on Monday. 'Find an issue that splits the country in half, then crack it just enough so you can come out ahead. 'I have 51 percent, you get 49 percent, I win, you lose,'' he said, lamenting rough and tumble campaign politics. Riding a stunning comeback from looming political oblivion last year, Schwarzenegger candidly admits he committed huge political blunders in his moderate state by waging his own partisan war against Democrats in 2005." Only after he flipped through a 180-degree reversal and distanced himself from hardcore Republican activists on issues like abortion, stem-cell research and global warming, did he reverse plunging poll numbers and stave off electoral disaster. Now, Schwarzenegger sits in the moderate political center, warning that Americans are sick of bitter political warfare between "extremist" members of Congress produced by a gerrymandered political system. "I believe the political way forward is this: Look to the future. Look to the center, and look to the dreams of the people," he said, during an appearance coinciding with national governors' meetings here. "He is certainly acting as though he wants to position himself on the national stage -- he likes playing the game," said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, professor of politics at the University of Southern California. "He knows that he can become a major player in the Republican Party campaign, he has already has had a few of the Republican Party candidates come by and pay their respects." The 59-year-old governor has appeared with key Republican hopefuls Senator John McCain and former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, telling the Politico.com website they are both "appealing" for Californians. He is also backing a bid to bring forward California's presidential primary nominating contest to next February -- a move that would grant the vast western state a say in who gets to joust for the White House.
