...creation of the universe. However, this is a large group, which can include everyone from Intelligent Designers, to young-earth creationists, to people who believe that God worked through the tool of evolution. The dinosaur question is important to figure out which one she is.While George Bush and John McCain support creationism, their beliefs are much different from those espoused by young-earth creationism. Bush argues for Intelligent Design, which while flawed, concedes much to science and would never make the outrageous claim that dinosaurs and man lived together. McCain’s relationship with creationism is more ambiguous. He?...
...That's about the last thing the McCain campaign needs to hear right now. Florida, run by a Republican Governor and legislature, was supposed to be the Arizona senator's to lose. But while polls through September showed him and Obama in a dead heat, Obama seems to be pulling away as the nation's economic crisis worsens. Four polls released last week show Obama not only leading -one, by Quinnipiac University, has him up by as much as eight points - but breaking the 50% barrier for the first time...

"We too are saturating Facebook,"says York, whose group has reached out to younger voters with slogans like "Vote for the Hero and the Hottie," referring to McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. "But the Republican Party needs to get more serious and creative about this group...
...counting on young African-Americans," who connect with Obama more readily than their parents or grandparents do, "to bring the black vote up to where we need it in Florida," says an Obama campaign official. Obama faces a tougher time with Latinos, who according to a recent poll favor McCain in Florida by 51% to 41%. Again, Obama is counting on younger Latinos like Esteban Morera, 18, a Miamian and UCF freshman, to keep him competitive in that community. Morera says he was undecided until McCain selected Palin last month. "It helped confirm for me that I really like Obama...
