But where it once was assumed she would be vulnerable from the right in a Democratic primary, it now appears that her support for the Iraq invasion will require her to worry more about her left flank. Where the greatest question she expected to face was about whether a figure as polarizing as she is could possibly be electable, it could now be whether she is polarizing enough to appeal to primary voters who are looking to express their own anger.

With the game tied at 1-1 in the 30th minute, Fucito came all the way out to the right flank to chase down a ball that the Brown defender assumed would be easily within his control and then threaded a cross to junior Matt Hoff streaking down the middle for Hoff to bury in the net. Once the second half began, Fucito took further control of the game as he assisted...
