PROBLEM: ''If  Orrin Hatch  came in third place in the Iowa caucuses  that would be bigger news that George Bush winning '' said James Camp  Mr. Hatch's national political director. ''The headlines would not be that Bush wins  but that  Hatch  takes third.''
 Even Mr. Hatch  said  his  goal was to ''do fourth or better.''
To that end  the Hatch campaign is heavily depending on local newspaper interviews and small-town radio call-in and television talk shows to spread  his  word  since there is no cost.
Speaking  talk-show style  on the same level as the audience rather than from the stage  Mr. Hatch attacked his opponents. ''How many of those people have the experience  yes  the knowledge and the ability to work with Congress and really fulfill all those campaign promises?'' Mr. Hatch asked. ''I understand Congress to the last person. I passed 43 bills in the last Congress. Sure  I can't get everything passed  but  Orrin Hatch  will die trying.''
 He  also said the Democrats in the race  Vice President Al Gore and former Senator Bill Bradley  were ''far left  and you better understand that.''
It was difficult to tell if  Mr. Hatch  won any converts. Jack Croft said that while he liked what  Mr. Hatch  said on ''our need for more military readiness ''  he  was not swayed enough to vote for  him .
David Holzinger  who said  he  was trying to decide between  Mr. Hatch  and Mr. Forbes  said: ''I came because  he 's a giant in the Senate. I like what  he  said on the ethics of the Clinton administration.''

SOLUTION: Orrin Hatch

PROBLEM: Businessman Chris Kennedy  jumped in with  his  take: âThatâs why we have a divided government â  he  said. âFor gosh sakes  if weâre not going to call out other parts of government â if you donât see your role as governor to call out a mayor whoâs not representing the people of a certain city  if youâre not willing to call out an assessor whoâs violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act â if you donât think thatâs the proper role of government  you should go read the Constitution ...
Well  yes  Iâm all for calling politicians to account â pointing out their failings and demanding they do better. And while I understand that constructive criticism and attempts at engagement and compromise arenât politically fashionable  I donât think  Kennedy  set the table for long-term success  should  he  be elected  with  his  over-the-top accusation earlier this month that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is leading a âstrategic gentrification planâ to drive African-Americans and other minorities out of the city.
Iâd say the same thing about  Kennedy âs repeated claims  one example seen above  that successful property-tax appeals result in less money for our schools.
Thatâs not how property taxes work. Schools set an overall levy  and that amount is divvied up among all the property taxpayers in the district. When your tax bill goes down after an appeal  everyone elseâs goes up fractionally to compensate. Candidate Daniel Biss  a state senator from Evanston  explained this clearly to  Kennedy  during a similar session Wednesday before the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board.

SOLUTION: Chris Kennedy

PROBLEM: Just over a week ago  on the evening of Dec. 7  Lloyd C. Blankfein hosted a reunion of one of the most elite clubs in American finance: former partners of Goldman Sachs  the Wall Street giant he has led  with remarkable and controversial success  since 2006.
 The gathering  held at the venerable New York Athletic Club  both celebrated Goldman's past and looked toward its future. What  Blankfein was asked  did he want his legacy to be?
 Blankfein replied that like his predecessors  he hoped to position Goldman Sachs to capitalize on whatever opportunities might arise during his tenure. As bland as that might sound  few on or off Wall Street have seized opportunities in these troubled economic times as skillfully as Blankfein.
 But as President Barack Obama prods the financial industry to do more to help ordinary Americans -- he chided "fat cat bankers" on Sunday for increasing their pay -- some current and former Goldman executives say Blankfein has built a money machine that  while it still values its customers  culture and reputation  puts profits above all.
 Interviews with nearly 20 current and former Goldman partners paint a portrait of a bank driven by hard-charging traders like Blankfein who wager vast sums in world markets in hopes of quick profits. Discreet bankers who give advice to corporate clients and help them raise capital -- once a major source of earnings for Goldman -- have been eclipsed  these people said.
 Blankfein has surrounded himself with a tight circle of executives drawn from Goldman's trading operation. Many of these executives  like Blankfein  cut their teeth in the commodities division  J. Aron
 After first guiding Goldman through the near-collapse of the nation's financial system and then deftly extricating his bank from a federal bailout  Blankfein is now presiding over one of the richest periods in the bank's 140-year history. Blankfein has accelerated a decade-long decline of Goldman's old partnership ethos  which was built around the principle that its bankers and traders can do well -- indeed  very well -- while putting their customers first  former partners said.
 Some Goldman alumni worry that Blankfein is jeopardizing the culture of success that defined the bank for much of its modern history. They wonder if Goldman will become  as one former partner put it  "just like every other bank on Wall Street" -- that is  focused on short-term profits rather than long-term gains.
 Publicly  Blankfein espouses the Goldman Sachs way. But privately  current and former partners say that he has fundamentally changed the way Goldman views its customers and the broader marketplace. The changes began when Goldman went public in the late 1990s  but have accelerated under Blankfein  they say.
 Bowing to pressure from shareholders and the public to rein in runaway pay on Wall Street  Goldman announced last week that its top executives  including Blankfein  would forgo cash bonuses this year. Instead  the executives will be paid in the form of special stock -- an arrangement that  while eliminating big paydays this year  nonetheless may turn out to be enormously lucrative if Goldman's share price rises in the future.
 Today  the traders -- Blankfein's camp -- are firmly in power. While Goldman employs nearly 31 000 people  in business ranging from money management to traditional investment banking  the bank makes the bulk of its money from trading. Van Praag said 50 percent of Goldman's revenue came from fees that it charged for services like investment banking. The other half is generated by Goldman using its capital for itself and its clients. While Blankfein's traders are minting money  his investment bankers are being pressed to keep a closer eye on the bottom line. Bankers who once spent years cultivating corporate clients  in hopes of one day landing lucrative work like advising on a big merger  are now being urged to squeeze more revenue from their customers.

SOLUTION:
Lloyd C. Blankfein
