...biggest concern is that [the RIAA] take advantage of a statute written years ago in a way that Congress probably didn’t intend,” said Shubham Mukherjee, a third-year law student assisting Nesson with the case...
This year, Americans’ top concern was the economy, yet John McCain failed to address it adequately. McCain dwelt on his commitment to cut taxes and halt earmarks, but voters were more concerned about a stable healthcare system and family finances. After three Republican presidents in thirty years, taxes and spending lack the political salience they once had.

...long as 75 minutes, with professors having discretion over how to allocate this time.

There is concern that Democrats not only have a better sales pitch but also that they are using better technology to attract money and turn out voters. "After 2006," says South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, "we put the same leadership back in place. It's just insane. In the corporate world, you would not do that." If Republicans claim to be the reform party of small government, Sanford says, they must first stop seeing...
