...insulting," Sumner, 31, who edits a military magazine, said turning away. "Across the board the reaction to GOProud's presence here has been positive, but then you have guys like this. Even Dick Cheney came out and says he supports us. Conservatives have to be more inclusive, they have to be." In fact, just one group, Liberty University, boycotted CPAC over the inclusion of GOProud, though the Catholic crowd weren't the only ones unnerved by their presence: one booth down from GOProud's set up in the fourth row, those manning the National Organization for Marriage, which works...
...redemption at the Vancouver. In the downhill, a small mistake cost him the gold medal - "I blew the whole race on one turn," he said afterward - but his technical ability on a nasty, icy course earned him the bronze.

To the stunned amazement of the many Austrian fans roving around Whistler, the performance has been something of a national nightmare in the sport the Austrians have dominated. The Yanks, on the other hand, have always done well in Canada. Gold and bronze medalist Lindsey Vonn practically owns Lake Louise, a stop on the women's tour.
