...presidential election comes down to a choice between Hillary Clinton and front runner Rudolph Giuliani, Americans will elect a woman before they will elect a bald man. The U.S. has had more than five bald Presidents, but Americans haven't voted one into office in 51 years, when Dwight Eisenhower won a second term over Adlai Stevenson--the second consecutive election in which two bald men went head to glorious head...
...contender for the Walter Payton Award annually bestowed upon the top player in Division I-AA.It speaks to how impressive the Bulldogs have been to this point that this game, arguably the biggest test on their schedule, seems so non-threatening. Quakers tailback Joe Sandberg is the second-best runner in the conference, and the stout Penn defense, anchored by linebacker Joe Anastasio, allows a league-low 2.4 yards per carry.

There is no plausible front-runner. Each of the Republicans is flawed and flailing. The despair and hilarity as the various candidates try to squeeze into the conservative base's straitjacket, like the stepsisters struggling to fit into Cinderella's slipper, have been the gaudiest political show...
...review the bidding on the leading candidates: Rudy Giuliani, the national front-runner in the polls, supports abortion rights, supported gun control, supported Democrat Mario Cuomo for Governor, moved in with a gay couple when his second marriage fell apart - and, pause for breath, well, isn't that enough? Mitt Romney, the front-runner in Iowa and New Hampshire, was a liberal when he ran for the Senate from Massachusetts and a moderate when he ran for Governor. He has disavowed his former positions on abortion, gay rights - and now seems even to disavow the groundbreaking state health care plan...
