...given to how we can avoid even harsher restrictions in the future and how we can generally ensure a safe and fun tailgate. Despite the widespread belief that this year’s tailgate will mark a return to Prohibition, Harvard-Yale will not be dry. Those who provide proof of age will be sold $1 beer at the tailgate. Moreover, many of us will find other ways and times—before, during, and after the game—to drink, but it is of utmost importance that we do so in moderation. The risks associated with overdrinking...

Even supposed conservative Democrats like former sheriff Brad Ellsworth in Indiana's 8th District, who trounced Republican incumbent John...
...none of this means that the country has moved to the left politically. "Sure, Yarmuth won by running as a liberal in a non-liberal district," said Todd. "But the race wasn't about him. The mistake Democrats could make is to see winning liberal candidates like him as proof that a much more liberal agenda is more palatable to the public...
