...system-wide Stop Rudy At All Costs campaign among social conservatives, who will host all the major candidates at the Values Voter Summit in Washington the weekend of October 19. On the same day that DeMoss made his views widely known about Romney, two other social conservatives, Gary Bauer, president of American Values, and Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, met with reporters in Washington and made some positive comments about the Massachusetts governor - and less positive ones about former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, the social conservative some had believed could attract grassroots support...
...revealed that Focus on the Family founder and Christian Right titan James Dobson had ruled out supporting Fred Thompson (who admitted he doesn't go to church), God-o-Meter's counter nearly bottomed out. But in the days following the leak, heavyweight Evangelicals like former presidential candidate Gary Bauer and the Southern Baptist Convention's Richard Land have come to Thompson's aid.

The computers work a little too well, the Los Angeles traffic is suspiciously light, and Jack Bauer never has to take a leak, but Kiefer Sutherland gives Jack psychological weight in the most outlandish situations, racing against a ticking clock that tolls...
...course, in an era of rampant product placement, there are worse things than persuading viewers to buy a less wasteful lightbulb by hanging one over Jack Bauer as he tortures a terrorist. The greatest challenge--for viewers as well as programmers--is not letting entertainment become a substitute for action; making and watching right-minded shows isn't enough in itself. The 2007 Emmy Awards, for a start, aims to be carbon neutral: solar power, biodiesel generators, hybrids for the stars, bikes for production assistants--though the Academy nixed Fox's idea to change the red carpet, no kidding...
