...this stuff, nobody's going to - and maybe something wonderful could come from of it. I don't want to sound all massively promilitary, but Jim always said that some of the most loving, kind people in the world are military people because they've seen how bad things...
...maintain barriers to entry on the Internet and why it's such a tough environment to play in. Now a number of folks say "Well, look, Google gave them $900 million in an ad deal for something they only paid $580 million for. How can that be bad?"

The results...

Part of it was simply keeping that focus on jobs, and not allowing itself to get sidetracked by social or cultural issues. After all, when the economy is bad, grass-roots anger at whomever is in power can be a powerful weapon, and populist, pro-change rhetoric always sounds good. A Republican base riled up by Obama's ambitious agenda also helped. "We're just motivated by the current political environment," says Jonathan Rogers, 25, a military officer...
