...trends than the events in Virginia, or even Washington. "The McCain people are chalking up Tuesday as nothing to worry about," says Dickerson. But while it is clear that McCain maintains a staggering degree of popularity among nontraditional GOP voters, he may be fighting a losing battle against the pure arithmetic of delegate selection. Since McCain's supporters tend not to be registered with the GOP, Bush could easily triumph in multiple Republican-only, winner-take-all states, bagging all the delegates he needs.

"She's pure evil," my mom has said on more than one occasion. "She married Tom Cruise for the money, for the fame, for the camera flashes." "She's a bad actress." "She's naked all the time." "I heard she sleeps around." I just figured my mom had a secret crush on Tom Cruise and was taking it out on poor Nicole...
