...flip side, Palin may be reminding Floridians too much of Katherine Harris, one of the state's most polarizing political figures. Harris, who won Sarasota's congressional seat in 2002 but was badly defeated in her 2006 Senate bid, is more like Everycountryclubmatron compared with Palin's Everyhockeymom. But Palin's Harris-like image of inexperience can't be helping with women voters like Geyer. Palin's strident tone and mocking attacks on Obama have failed to galvanize Florida women for McCain; Obama holds a 12-point lead among that group in this month's Mason-Dixon poll...
Fresh off a four-game win streak in which it scored 16 goals, Harvard came into Saturday’s Ivy League showdown with the chance to improve its title bid. The Big Red began the day tied for first place in the league, and the Crimson (6-6, 2-2 Ivy) trailed by only a game. In a defensive struggle, Cornell ultimately prevailed, scoring midway through the second half for the only goal in a 1-0 win. “It’s tough losing an Ivy game. It’s just kind of disheartening...

Based on other reports, the gathering may have been a campaign event for Alice Palmer, the Illinois state senator who was one of Obama's mentors and, at the time, was plotting a bid for Congress. It may also have been one of several coffees organized at the time to allow Obama to be introduced as Palmer's heir apparent. Or both. (Palmer and Obama had a falling-out soon after; she supported Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries.) It's clear that during...
Both countries have used the temple row for political purposes. In his successful re-election bid this summer, Cambodian Premier Hun Sen vowed to protect national interests by ensuring that the entire Preah Vihar area remained under Cambodian control. Meanwhile, in Thailand, opposition figures accused former Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej of destroying national sovereignty by not immediately protesting UNESCO's decision. Samak resigned last month, and his successor, who hails from the same political party, will surely be accused of similar weakness if Thailand's troops don't match Cambodian numbers. On Wednesday, Thailand's military T.V. network showed Thai...
