...nominee John Kerry (along with many of his biggest fund raisers) and Vermont's Pat Leahy. Obama also counts among his growing list of supporters Senators such as Tim Johnson, Kent Conrad, Ben Nelson and Claire McCaskill, as well as governors Janet Napolitano and Kathleen Sebelius, who hail from red states where Democrats openly worry about what could happen to the rest of the ticket if Hillary Clinton is perched...
There's a name for this new-model Perot: Lou Dobbs, CNN's red-faced, loudmouthed scourge of lawbreaking immigrants and job-shipping CEOs.

I’ve heard many classmates imply they were sparing the feelings of less fortunate individuals who were not admitted to Ivy League institutions by refusing to sport a shirt emblazoned with that big red “H.” For some, this decision stems from a genuine feeling of academic superiority; for others, just a hyperactive concern for what other people might think. Either way, creating such melodrama around a simple choice of wardrobe actually perpetuates Harvard’s reputation for self...
