...things that keeps his candidacy alive. At an "Ask Mitt Anything" event in Salem, one undecided voter came to hear Romney with a pencil in hand. Bob Gibbs, a small business owner in town, scribbled as the candidate spoke: "Domestic oil field...bold military...end illegals...McCain cancel tax cut" [this underlined] ... "strengthen family." By the time Romney took his last question (something about "men's rights" - a visibly uncomfortable Romney wrapped it up quickly), Gibbs was convinced.

And on the question of a post-2012 successor treaty to Kyoto, Rudd in mid-campaign abruptly took the Howard position: no ratification of Kyoto II unless it requires China and India to limit their carbon emissions...
...gore and the presence of the erstwhile Captain Jack Sparrow--not to mention an appearance by Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen--draw in the young gotta-get-to-it first-weekend viewers? Will the musical credentials and actorly cast lure the older theater crowd? Or will the two elements cancel each other out: too much violence for the fogies, too much singing and dancing for the kids...
