...difference between parties is clearest when we look at the online apparel stores visited by the two groups. Democratic segments reflect an urban bent in visits to Baby Phat, Dr. Jays and luxury brand Gucci, while the Republican segment's sites mirror an upscale suburban mall with Ann Taylor, Abercrombie for Kids and J Crew...
Even in Texas, where only a couple of weeks ago Mike Huckabee thought he could rely on the heavy Evangelical presence to give John McCain a real primary fight, the Republican race no longer looks like a serious contest. But while Huckabee may no longer be in a position to sway the outcome of the Republican presidential primary/caucus on Tuesday, he does stand to have a profound impact on another crucial, and potentially more controversial, vote that same...

The evening Republican caucuses can only be attended by those who voted during the day and they are reserved for electing delegates to the county and then state conventions, which hold sway over the state party. In recent years, that has led to a dominance...
