...left domming after two years, to become an editorial assistant. What motivated the shift? I was getting tired. And feeling kind of entrenched in that world. I had been so infatuated with the double life of being a college student and a dominatrix, but after I spent some time just as a dominatrix, the romance of that polarity was gone.

...chances. However, the presence of a Hispanic candidate high on the ballot has not proved to be the door opener for Democrats in recent Texas elections. In 2002, Perry handily beat millionaire South Texas businessman Tony Sanchez in the governor's race, 58% to 40%, even after Sanchez spent $75 million, much of it his own money, in the campaign. A Democratic Hispanic candidate for lieutenant governor lost by roughly the same margin in 2006. (See pictures of Loving County, Texas, one of the nation's richest areas...

...members of Congress with costly ad campaigns. Over the coming week, as the House gears up to take a final, deciding vote on reform, issue-ad spending by corporations, trade groups, unions and advocacy organizations may top $24 million, adding to the estimated $200 million that has already been spent on health care advocacy ads. "We are going to be at parity with the other guys in spending for the week," said a pro-reform organizer who had been monitoring the antireform ad purchases. "I think our side will spend $12 million for the week...
