Equally dizzying is the speed with which Lam, a campaign neophyte, has quietly spearheaded the Ron Paul Internet juggernaut. The campaign raised $5 million in the third quarter of 2007 (five times as much as Mike Huckabee took in), largely from online donations. Paul's YouTube channel has more than 29,000 subscribers, and he often beats out top-tier candidates in online and text-message polls. Lack of resources forced Lam, a Bay Area native, to turn to existing (and free) social-networking sites to do online outreach--in other words, MySpace, not McCainSpace...
...Recalled a participant who likened the splinter group to a kamikaze mission: "I was just sitting there thinking how every third-party effort has accomplished the exact opposite of what was intended. Perot helped give America the Clintons, and Nader delivered the White House to Bush." Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Southern Baptist minister often cited as the ideal bridge-building vice-presidential pick, was in no hurry to see his brethren break away.

...come together and secure victory. “They play very well together,” Crimson coach John Kerr said. “They are quick and aggressive. They find a way to win.” Harvard’s offensive arsenal is headed by junior Mike Fucito, who stood out in last Saturday’s 5-0 victory over Fairfield, scoring two goals. Fucito is tied for the team-lead in goals with the Crimson’s second major weapon, sophomore Andre Akpan. Last season’s Ivy rookie of the year has continued...
...little empathy for the poor in a largely poor state. A Rhodes scholar whose parents arrived in the U.S. from India just months before he was born, Jindal was selected to run the state's Department of Health and Hospitals by Blanco's predecessor, two-term Republican Mike Foster, at the ripe old age of 24. The Baton Rouge native guided the bloated department through a rough period of cutbacks, both in jobs and reimbursements to health care providers; that work led to a stint as director of a federal Medicare commission at 27 and head of the Louisiana State...
