People used to like Ralph Nader. Which is impressive since he is the progenitor of two of the world's most annoying types of people: local-TV consumer advocates and guys who enjoy reminding you to put your seat belt on. Sure, it was a little weird when he started campaigning for President in 1992, but we looked past that because he had given us so much and because back then running for President was just an adorable hobby designed to entertain Larry King. When Nader ran in 2000, taking key votes from Al Gore, however, he alienated every conceivable...
Huckabee has focused his Texas campaign on rousing his evangelical core constituency in the Texas Bible Belt - conservative towns like Tyler in east Texas; Waco, home to Baylor University; Plano, a conservative, affluent Dallas-area community; and Fort Worth, where Huckabee attended the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in the 1970s.

As I toured reality in Ohio, the big story in the press was whether the Clinton campaign was responsible for slipping a photo of Obama in Somali Muslim garb to the Drudge Report. No doubt we're going to have a sludge tide of garbage about Obama's provenance and proclivities in the months to come. If the election is dominated by that, we should all be sued for malpractice...
...faceoff man to graduation in the form of former co-captain John Henry Flood.Anchored by La Fiura—who has played in 36 games in his career—the defense has passed its period of growing pains, and with a year of playing together under its belt, should provide a spark for the Crimson. “Our coach put in a great defensive package, we have a bunch of different looks,” Scholl said. “Definitely I think [defense] is going to be one of the strongest parts of our team.
