...Thank you, Klein, for calling on senators John McCain and Obama to campaign together and debate in the style of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas. Both Senators are men of integrity, so please let's not make this about trashing each other's character. Everyone knows what the critical issues are. This election is about how the problems of our day will be solved, and it is going to take cooperation between the parties to solve them. Let's learn about the candidates' different philosophies and vote on that basis. Then Congress can approach solutions from the President...
...Cuban-Americans occupying them. But this week the Cook Report, a Beltway guide to state and local elections, changed its "rating" on Florida's 21st congressional district from "solidly Republican" to "likely Republican" - a sign that Democratic challenger Raul Martinez is a genuine threat to eight-term Republican incumbent Lincoln Diaz-Balart.

The next year, NARAL took the unusual step of endorsing then-G.O.P. Senator Lincoln Chafee in his reelection race before he even had a Democratic challenger. The group was criticized by other pro-choice allies for failing to pursue a strategy focused entirely on gaining a Democratic majority in Congress. NARAL's endorsement of Joseph Lieberman in his 2006 Senate campaign against liberal opponent...
...Stehr remembers hard days in the 1980s, when the quotas and low prices threatened to wipe out local Port Lincoln operators. Then the tuna men had the brilliant idea of netting their quota of just over 5,000 tons, towing it slowly into the port, and holding it there in pens to be fattened on pilchards and anchovies for a few months. Profits surged as the weight of the average fish doubled to over 32 kg, and links were forged with the lucrative Japanese sashimi trade...
