...Polling suggests that Obama still has a way to go in that regard. In the latest Washington Post/ABC News survey, only 48% of registered voters said Obama would make a good Commander in Chief, with an equal percentage saying he wouldn't. By comparison, 72% said John McCain would be a good...
...Whether McCain gets an opportunity to fix to the economy depends heavily on solidifying his own economic situation. In a conference call on Thursday, McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, released new fundraising numbers, showing that McCain had grabbed $22 million in June, his highest monthly haul ever. (By comparison, it matches Obama's May total, the Democrat's lowest of 2008.) That leaves McCain with $27 million cash on hand, which can be added to another $67 million from the Republican National Committee. Davis also dropped this claim: Between April and the end of June, the McCain campaign...
Students and their families spend more than ever to go to private four-year colleges in the U.S. - last year alone, average annual tuition fees to such institutions shot up by 6% to just over $22,000. In comparison, fees in England, although higher than in much of the rest of Europe, are modest: the government only introduced its current system in 2006, and has capped fees at roughly $6,000 per student. Even after adding the state's own contribution - and until the government reviews fee levels next year - Cambridge is short by some $10,000 for each student...
...sufficient, so it's a real stretch." Private donations invested by Yale University are currently worth some $23 billion; the endowment fund of rival Harvard is $35 billion. Dozens of other American universities boast funds valued at more than $1 billion. Even Britain's wealthiest universities are poor by comparison. The central endowment fund at Oxford is about $1.3 billion, and Cambridge's stands at roughly $2 billion. (The universities' individual colleges - Oxford has 39, Cambridge 31 - separately hold endowments worth a total of $11 billion.) At London's Imperial College, one of the world's best for scientific research...
McCain isn't a quitter. He may be fighting an uphill battle, but he knows Obama is beatable despite a national anti-GOP mood. McCain's week wasn't particularly good, but Obama's was dreadful by comparison...
