...Aides to Deborah Pryce, a Republican in the Columbus, Ohio, area, have continued to call her opponent, Mary Jo Kilroy, a "tax and spend liberal," while Bob Ney, the Republican congressman embroiled in the Jack Abramoff Washington lobbying scandal, has a site called lostinzackspace.com, where he attacks his Democratic opponent Zack Space and links him to his "ultra-liberal" friends: Howard Dean, George Soros and Nancy Pelosi. The Democrats seem to be responding to the tactic. It's difficult to find the word "Democrat" on the web site of Brad Ellsworth, the Democrat running against Hostettler in the Evansville district...
...year when the public wants to deal with immigration, tax reform and energy costs," Towery says. But Cagle was nearly identical to Reed on the issues.

...RELEGATED. Juventus, Lazio and Fiorentina, three top Italian football clubs, to the second division for their part in a national match-fixing scandal; in Rome. Turin's Juventus was also stripped of its last two championship titles, and had 30 points deducted for the forthcoming season. Rival AC Milan, also implicated in the scandal, will remain in the first division, but faces a 15-point handicap and expulsion from Europe's lucrative Champions League competition. All four clubs are expected to appeal...
