Lue’s eclectic expertise doesn’t just extend to art. A surprised former student Mark B. Geyer ’06 recalls that Lue held his own in a conversation about Celtic languages and literature. “Dr. Lue and I then talked about Celtic poetry at our next meeting,” Geyer says...
...Florida by as many as 8 points in some polls, though others still show the race a virtual dead heat. The nation's financial crisis is of course a factor: Florida is getting waylaid by home foreclosures at a rate few other states can match, and business owners like Geyer and her husband are having to undertake painful employee layoffs to stay afloat. Though Crist insists he's still enthusiastic about McCain's candidacy, he said last week that he must devote more time to the economic problems. The fact that Obama is outspending McCain...

The state has one of the nation's largest hoards of independent voters, almost one-fifth of the electorate, EMS, and the centrist trend is creeping into once solid GOP bastions like Sarasota.

But Palin's Harris-like image of inexperience can't be helping with women voters like Geyer. Palin's strident tone and mocking attacks on Obama have failed to galvanize Florida women for McCain; Obama holds a 12-point lead among that group in this month's Mason-Dixon poll...
