...Lately that pulse has been beating stronger for Obama. In recent weeks McCain has fallen behind his Democratic rival in 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...
...boat to success last year.“Sprints finals were kind of an epic moment, just in terms of commitment to the race and how we felt afterwards,” he added. “I feel like it had the most anticipation—the Sprints heat was a bit shaky for us, and that’s really what made the final great.”The second freshman boat also had a successful season, going undefeated in its dual racing against other freshman boats and claiming another gold at Sprints.

...small feminist organizations. The minister of women's affairs in Paraguay's new left-wing government, Gloria Rubin, whipped up a media storm in August by calling Ortega a "rapist" and protesting his invitation to President Fernando Lugo's inauguration - an event Ortega eventually skipped to avoid the heat. A week later in Honduras, Selma Estrada, minister of the National Institute of Women, resigned her government post in protest over the official invitation of Ortega to Tegucigalpa. And in El Salvador, feminist leaders are asking their government to declare Ortega persona non grata before he's scheduled to attend...
