...princes kiss her. She wouldn't last an hour at One Fifth Avenue. Bushnell knows this. She even slyly hints at it: Lola, the gold digger, "had watched every single episode of Sex and the City at least, as she claimed, 'a hundred times.'" Lola arrives in Manhattan expecting--nay, demanding--a West Village apartment and a Mr. Big. Suffice it to say that the show doesn't turn out to be a very practical guide to real life and real estate in the big city. She should have read the book instead...
...What the nay-sayers don't understand is that this election has never been about me." Obama declared shortly before the fireworks burst and the confetti flurried. It's one of his favorite lines, and usually it provokes a quibble: Isn't that your name on the buttons and your face on the T-shirts?

I had expected to change and become more open-minded in college, say, by launching misguided attempts at wearing bangs or dating Republicans. I never anticipated my disenchantment with feminism, Catholicism, journalism, literary criticism, and, nay, even, Yankees Nation-alism. Every year of college had brought different forms of introspection, different groups of friends, and different goals, but three and a half years of change, rebuilding, and responsibility left me feeling spent and apathetic...
...declared. The swing states that will determine the general election belong to her. It's a debatable point-but not, ultimately, germane, because the nomination is about delegates, and Clinton made the strategic decision to give up a lot of caucus-state delegates without much of a fight. Say nay or say yea-the fact is, Obama buried her in the places she neglected to contest seriously...
