...groups without explicitly political missions are willing to and capable of engaging in provocative political discourse. Of course, political groups on campus have done their share of rallying excitement as well. In a political climate as potentially vitriolic as this one, both the Harvard College Democrats and the Harvard Republican Club should be praised for their willingness to create a dialogue that focuses more on the issues at hand rather than engaging in vicious personal attacks. The outcome of this election is likely to have a major impact on both sides of the aisle, so we are especially appreciative...
...McCain himself admitted as much last week. And as it is, the outlook in the Sunshine State for his campaign is surprisingly dark. The Arizona Senator may have Crist and a Republican-controlled legislature behind him. But Florida's deepening economic crisis, as well as the fact that McCain passed him over for the vice-presidential slot that many Floridians thought he should get, seems to have made Crist a less than ardent McCain campaigner this fall.

Sources say it yielded few solutions. A big GOP headache is Florida's ultra-fluid demographics. The state has one of the nation's largest hoards of independent voters, almost one-fifth of the electorate, EMS, and the centrist trend is creeping into once solid GOP bastions like Sarasota.
