...flip side, Palin may be reminding Floridians too much of Katherine Harris, one of the state's most polarizing political figures. Harris, who won Sarasota's congressional seat in 2002 but was badly defeated in her 2006 Senate bid, is more like Everycountryclubmatron compared with Palin's Everyhockeymom.

...falling-out soon after; she supported Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primaries.) It's clear that during the coffee, Obama, then a young University of Chicago law professor, met an influential group of Chicagoans who would be crucial for his eventual bid for Palmer's Illinois senate seat. (Obama would formally launch that bid on Sept. 19, 1995 at the Hyde Park Ramada.) For a time, Ayers and Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund, a nonpartisan charitable group.
