...situation, the organization declined to comment, and repeated attempts to contact the Obama and Clinton campaigns were ignored (What about the student vote, spokespeople?) The DNC is likely embarrassed that this wonderful and energizing primary, in which a record number of Democrats have voted, might be decided by the gut feelings of DNC officials, or by which Cabinet position a senator thinks he can get if Obama or Clinton moves into the White House. How un-Democratic...
...never trust McCain, partly because he's taken them on with such glee on issues like campaign finance, and partly because he's a liberal media darling. But conservative voters don't always fit neatly into Main Street or Wall Street, theocon or neocon boxes. Some vote with their gut - emoticons? - and McCain's warrior biography and tough-guy persona may trump his voting record...
...Obama's race tugs at them, in the gut. For African-American women, however, Clinton also holds appeal--both as the first potential female President and a longtime activist for equal rights. African-American women will probably make up the largest single voting group in the primary, if you extrapolate from the 2004 primary returns.

...show much effect. Vytorin is actually the combination of two drugs - one of the early statin medications, simvastatin (also known as Zocor), made by Merck, and ezetimibe, or Zetia, made by Schering-Plough. Ezetimibe is the first cholesterol-lowering medication that works by blocking absorption of cholesterol in the gut, rather than regulating the fat's production in the liver, like other statins do. ENHANCE compared the effect of Vytorin to simvastatin alone, and showed little difference between the two medications when it came to plaque size in the arteries. Simvastatin came off patent in 2006, and these results suggest...
...study also didn't ask participants why they thought one CEO looked more competent or trustworthy than another. The judgments being measured were happening more on a gut level. In that way, the experiment lends support to a growing argument among psychologists who study decision-making that when people come to quick conclusions without much information, their decisions are often good ones. Though previous research examining perceived CEO personality and firm performance found few links between the two, Ambady and Rule point out that those studies relied on surveys of people who knew the executives. In the new paper...
