...turned upside down. The Republican has been as moody as Hamlet, with shifting policy proposals, fickle themes and muddled attacks. Since McCain has never been a party-establishment favorite, it's surprising how little carping and ship-jumping there has been in the wake of the Republicans' abrupt poll slide. But as giddy, shrewd Democrats sing all for one and one for all, GOP second-guessing and mutiny look inevitable...
...last longer than others." Winston Churchill's aphorism resonates for his 21st century successor, Gordon Brown. Just weeks ago the British Prime Minister looked fist-clenchingly impotent as insurrection bubbled in Labour's ranks and his Conservative opponents thumbed their noses from the safe distance of a 20-point poll advantage. Then came convulsions in the global economy. The scramble to avert meltdown drove Labour rebels into retreat, halved the Tory lead and granted Brown more than just a reprieve from domestic woes.

For the first time, Feeney lost the endorsement of his hometown newspaper, the Orlando Sentinel, which noted on October 12 that Feeney's power has waned...
...Student Association and the ACLU to sue top officials in Michigan on Sept. 18; one the Department of Justice has challenged in Georgia; and similar statutes in Arizona and Florida - fall harder on students than on most voters because so many study out of state. A Rock the Vote poll in February found that 19% of people ages 18-30 don't have a government ID that reflects their current address. And while some states like Ohio will accept alternative ID in the form of a utility bill, producing one can be a tall order for students, who tend...
