Prodi himself gave what might seem a bold speech to Parliament, seeking a vote of confidence after Mastella's exit. Chiding those fellow legislators who might have been planning an "opaque," backroom resolution to the crisis, he stated: "It is right that all comes to light in this place, in the halls of Parliament, the fundamental seat of democracy." But after his own closed-door coddling of allies in the government's 10-party coalition, he couldn't play even that card with much conviction. Twenty months of constant internal bickering, and a half-dozen near or real crises, have...
...Have Another Plan: Your fellow passengers often have trouble opening the exit hatches - it's not easy, for one thing, and even flight attendants often run into trouble. Plus, the slides malfunction more than you might expect. In the 2000 safety study, over one-third of the slide evacuations studied involved problems in the functioning of the slides. Smoke can also make your first-choice exit suddenly unusable. So instead of reading the Sky Mall catalog while you're waiting for the plane to take off, it would be wise to come up with two escape plans...
...before." McCain - who was famously burned in South Carolina in 2000 after his New Hampshire victory, when a whisper campaign and George Bush's dominance of the state's Republican party structure combined to deliver a crushing blow - was openly nervous. He even asked his staff to switch his exit song at rallies from confident, macho stuff like the Rocky theme to something that would make a softer, humbler appeal to voters. Thus the confluence of John McCain and ABBA's Take A Chance...
John McCain: Can he lock down Republicans? The common thread among his victories so far has been his strength with independents. And in South Carolina, independents once again pulled him over the finish line, though he is making inroads within his party. Exit polls indicated he tied Huckabee among voters who identified themselves as Republicans, with each of them winning 30%. (Among independents, however, McCain won 39-22%.) McCain may well need a sharper, more conservative message going forward, especially. One thing McCain has going for him: The more he wins, the more he looks like a winner-which...
...Huckabee's 30%, winning by a margin of roughly 13,000 votes. What appears to have put McCain over the top was an assist from his friend and distant third - place finisher Fred Thompson, who may have siphoned off some of Huckabee's evangelical support in conservative counties. Otherwise, exit polling showed McCain and Huckabee in a dead heat for the heart of the GOP, with roughly the same amount of support from those with a positive view of the Bush administration, those without a college education and self - identified Republicans...
