...mean you look at our numbers nationally, not just in Iowa - nationally. There is really no comparison for the phenomena of that kind of grassroots upsurge over such a short period of time. And most of it is all the viral marketing that has happened over the Internet, as people have contacted their friends, and things have been shared and passed, and it has just built. Because otherwise there was no reason. It's not like we have staff out there ginning up phone calls, interest and pushing people towards us. It's been a natural phenomenon. So it does...
...This is an advantage that Huckabee desperately needs to exploit, since his ground organization in Iowa pales in comparison to his rivals. He boasts a paid Iowa staff of just 14, up from eight at the start of November.

Consider this comparison: Suppose the average student reads three articles a day in The Crimson, spending a total of 15 minutes doing so. Apply this assumption to the approximately 6400 students on campus over 200 weekdays per academic year. The result? 320,000 hours spent reading The Crimson per year. If all that reading were done...
...from the semen that is sprayed on their faces in a mocking and malicious spirit—one’s face is, after all, the place of personality, so what better thing to plaster over with ejaculate if the objective is degradation? Caldwell’s comparison to fast-food workers doesn’t quite hold up. Caldwell calls Dines’ anti-porn stance “a strange collision of puritanical morality and radical politics,” but Dines’ speech was far from puritanical. She said repeatedly that she is not anti...
