...Clinton campaign has decided to throw in everything it's got, plus the kitchen sink," says Larry Sabato, head of the University of Virginia?s Center for Politics. "She?s both the candidate of change and the candidate of experience, the candidate with a hard side and a soft side, and the candidate of the establishment past and the progressive future. Maybe voters are getting confused, or maybe she?s patching together just enough voters to win or tie. We'll all find out together on January...

She did not graduate from college, wore big hats and liked to call friends and constituents "baby." Yet in 1996 the Democrat won her seat in part by insisting, despite criticism for being soft on crime, that her budget proposals would focus more on computers for education than on pricey anticrime measures. An early opponent of the war in Iraq, she warned in 2003 before the invasion, "We should have learned by the Vietnam War, but we did not." Carson, who had lung cancer...
