Democratic governors said Sunday they worry about President Barack Obama’s track record on fighting Republican political attacks and urged him to better connect with anxious voters. Some allies pleaded for a new election-year strategy focused on the economy.
Who?: Democratic governors, President Barack Obama, Republicans
What?: Democrats are concerned about the fighting between Obama and the Republicans and hopes that Obama can better connect with anxious voters.
When?: This Sunday (February 21, 2010)
Where?: Washington, D.C.
Why?: The governors are concerned about the upcoming elections.
How?: When the governors gathered together at the National Governors Association’s weekend meeting (stated later in the article).
This is not the best lead, obviously. The “where” is implied and the “how” is stated later in the article.
A sudden, vertical blast of wind knocked the three-masted SV Concordia onto its side in 15 seconds, forcing the captain and four dozen students to abandon ship and ride out heavy seas for nearly two days before their rescue off Brazil’s Atlantic coast, the survivors said Saturday.
This indirect lead is an observation by different sources (the “survivors”).
