...Jersey Representative Frank Pallone. A six-term Congressman in a district that tilts Democratic, he won his last two races handily with more than 60% of the vote.

"Papa John's has been an incredible success story," says Mitchell Speiser, who watches the restaurant industry for Lehman Brothers. "They have done a great job of emerging out of nowhere...
...audience had been warned to save their energy for the 14-minute long Battle, in reality it only went on for about five. However, what it lacked in length was recovered in intensity. As the audience frantically cheered (the apes eventually won), a wildly improvised free-for-all of furious playing ensued, which included snippets of Queen's "We Are The Champions" and, to much amusement, "Ironman" by Black Sabbath.
