Douglas Kmiec is the kind of Catholic voter the G.O.P. usually doesn't have to think twice about. The Pepperdine law professor and former Reagan Justice Department lawyer (Samuel Alito was an office mate) attends Mass each morning. He has actively opposed abortion for most of his adult life, working with crisis pregnancy centers to persuade women not to undergo the procedure. He is a member of the conservative Federalist Society and occasionally sends a contribution to Focus on the Family...
...Crist's environmental victory came just as many Floridians and other national political observers had begun to wonder if he was going overboard in a perceived bid to be John McCain's running mate. McCain announced earlier this month that he favors allowing new offshore oil drilling to help ease America's gas-pump nightmare.

In a recent interview with TIME, Crist hinted that he was planning some "breathtaking changes" for the Everglades. "Putting...
...second team was the last thing Italy needed to see. So the Italians shunted the Spanish to the outside and shut down anything coming up the middle. They so frustrated the normally dynamic Andrés Iniesta that he was pulled in the 59th minute along with his running mate Xavi Hernández. Yet it was Italy who got closest on the hour, when Spain keeper Iker Casillas made a left footed save on substitute Mauro Camoranesi after a goal mouth scramble...
...Ohio and Culvahouse episodes were, most likely, spur of the moment errors. Harder to explain is the Patti Solis Doyle Miscalculation. Hillary Clinton abruptly sent Solis Doyle into purgatory several months ago when her campaign stumbled. So when Obama tapped Solis Doyle to take charge of his eventual running mate, he was sending a visible-from-space signal that Clinton would not be named to the number two spot. And what good did that serve at the very moment the campaign was trying to woo Clinton's donors, court her ardent supporters and win over the candidate herself? "Just stupid...
