...even whiz kids suffer setbacks. In 2003, despite never having run for office, Jindal lost the gubernatorial race by only four points to Democrat Kathleen Blanco. He had led the race for months, and while Jindal will never admit it, his ethnicity likely played at least some part in his defeat. Despite a college-era conversion from Hinduism to Catholicism and his close alignment with the passionately pro-life wing of the GOP, Jindal could not convince rural voters in the state's north, who had voted for white supremacist David Duke less than two decades earlier, to give...
...it’s just so easy! 13. That guy you’ve had your eye on since freshman year who only seems to pop up when you’re hungover, sweaty, or finishing a walk of shame. 14. Gossip Girl. Stay tuned. Kisses. XOXO. 15. Admit it: you would probably need a GPS tracker for your GPS. Just in case...

...Whatever its faults, Rudy's unveiled, unapologetic argument about numbers is just another way in which the former New York City mayor continues to surprise. Republicans who back other candidates admit privately that Giuliani is proving far more durable and less error-prone than they ever expected. They acknowledge that Giuliani has likely identified Hillary Clinton as the best unifying issue the Republicans may have in what is shaping up to be a year not otherwise favorable to them. Several people linked to other campaigns told TIME that they are impressed with the gut-level nature of his speeches...
