...From a regulatory perspective, in the bid's favor is that CMH doesn't fully own anything. Rather, it's a holding company for a cluster of minority stakes, including 25% of pay-TV operator Foxtel, 50% of Fox Sports and 25% of PBL Media, the private-equity vehicle that owns Australia's free-to-air Nine Network. This mixed bag of holdings leads Chenoweth to suspect that Murdoch and Packer are planning "a second transaction that they haven't yet disclosed" - a deal that would turn piecemeal investments into controlling stakes...
...argument is one that is very important to the whole campaign. It is not only important on the Democratic side, but also on the Republican side. If you were to go toe-to-toe with Senator McCain, in the category of experience doesn't that actually in the end favor him? No, I don't think so. I think there is a threshold of experience that voters want to see people cross. I have a lifetime of experience. Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience. We both cross that threshold.

...difficult to believe just how clear the answer is. Every year since 1992, the General Assembly of the United Nations has voted in favor of ending the embargo by overwhelming margins. The first time, 59 countries stood against the United States and two allies, with 79 abstentions. By 2007, the U.S. was facing down 183 accusers with the support of only Israel and two former territories, the Marshall Islands and Palau. A third such territory failed to determine whether we were indeed oppressing Cuba in “madness and fanaticism” and abstained. Et tu, Micronesia...
...city's suburbs, which have the same kinds of upscale, well-educated professionals that have gone for Obama in recent contests. Western and Central Pennsylvania are much more conservative, blue-collar and Catholic, and the voters tend to be a bit older, all of which seem to favor Clinton. The key battleground is likely to be in the Lehigh Valley and the Northeast, toward Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, where traditional blue-collar industry is giving way to high-tech...
