...longtime Springer supporter, I'm upset that the media aren't taking his candidacy as seriously as Hillary Clinton's. Hillary has never run for office; Springer was a five-term city councilman and a two-term mayor of Cincinnati who wrestled a bear during his tenure. And while I don't know Hillary's opinions other than on health care and how mental abuse leads to randiness, Springer drops science at the end of every episode. There isn't an issue he hasn't examined. Forget Social Security and child care. This guy has looked into...
...would be liberal patronization. This is what makes people respond to him. He already has, for example, the pregnant-stripper constituency wrapped up. And he will continue to build on that base, according to his friend Tim Burke, the Hamilton County Democratic chairman who is pressing Springer to run.

Artisan, which is run by the triumvirate of Malin, longtime agent Bill Block and Mark Curcio, a former consultant to Artisan's majority backer, Bain Capital, rose in 1997 from the ashes of a firm that held video rights to Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Total Recall. The company gets its primary income from...
...Alexander said in a prepared statement to supporters gathered at the state capitol in Nashville. During the 1996 primaries, Bill Clinton had called Alexander the opponent he most feared. Four years later, after pouring the last of his meager campaign funds into an all-out run at the Iowa straw poll - and coming in a dismal sixth - the flannel-wearing, exclamatory walk-across-the-state Alexander was out of donors and options. This year, he can blame it on fellow GOP moderate George W. Bush and his fund-raising Hoover, but TIME senior writer Eric Pooley says that the gods...
