...nation's economic downturn, and the recent struggles of Barack Obama. But the election results Tuesday night may give others doubt about her clear convictions. At the very least, they are likely to temper the crucial support of uncommitted superdelegates, who are crucial to keeping alive her slim hopes of winning the presidential nomination...

...occasional cigarette? And when threats don?t work, Angie tries logic: ?There?s a thing called being too healthy. That?s what killed Bruce Lee.? (It was more likely a brain aneurysm.) Angie/Amy may lose this debate on points but she wins on presentation, because she looks slim, radiant, great. If junk food is what got her that body, plenty of women watching will say, ?I?ll have what she?s having...
