...time allotment for extra campaigning must be used wisely. Current electoral shortcomings stem primarily from a plethora of students who are largely apathetic and uniformed.

...recession was formally declared, investors cast their vote that economic recovery was nowhere in sight. All broad stock market indexes dropped sharply, with the steepest thrusts coming at the end of the trading day. The Dow ended Monday's session down 679.95 points or 7.7%, one of its worst days in recent months. Other broad market gauges took even steeper dives, with the Standard & Poor's 500, which includes financial stocks, falling 9.93%. The S&P 500 is now down...
