Georgiana Spencer (Keira Knightley) was a mere 17 years old when the Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes) began courting her - not that the ways of courtliness were among His Grace's skill sets. It is hard to imagine, in fact, what commonly recognizable human traits - aside from a passion for his dogs - this dour, emotionally constipated 18th-century man possessed. Essentially, he was doing a deal with Georgiana's mother (Charlotte Rampling), who has assured her that the Spencer women are historically adept at producing male heirs. And the Duke, whose other negative attributes included stupidity, believed...
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (Keira Knightley), was an 18th century scandal magnet for having both a swine and a swain--an icy, cheating husband (Ralph Fiennes) and a Whig politician lover (Dominic Cooper).

When the field of candidates was expanded beyond the major parties, it's clear that Ralph Nader could again have a significant impact on the Presidential race-though in highly unpredictable ways. In Nevada, Nader was the choice of 6% of respondents, and his presence flattened Obama's lead into a 41%-41% tie. Yet in New Mexico, where Nader polled at 8%, he drew votes almost equally from both major candidates, while in Pennsylvania he siphoned off significant support from McCain; a three-way race there would give Obama 47%, McCain 38% and Nader...
