...search list for each presidential hopeful are physical stats: Obama's height and McCain's age. Also present near the top are queries for "Barack Obama Muslim," which began in earnest after Insight magazine published a story online in January 2007 claiming falsely that Obama had attended a fundamentalist Muslim madrassa as a boy in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the McCain team has seen an increase in searches about the candidate's daughter Meghan and her lunch with The Hills star Heidi Montag...

The city was incorporated, in fact, in 2003, at the height of the boom, which has since helped its population of 110,000 reach a 71% homeowner rate. "It's the core of our existence," says Rosemond. The city's property tax revenue leapt by 65% last year - and its property values have risen 120% the past five years. But for a city with a median income less than $40,000, it was all a bit out of whack. Rosemond notes...
