...with most was George Lowe, and I still believe that if George and I had been in the final summit push, we would have made it because we were a very strong combination. But John decided George and I were both useful as snow and ice climbers, and he split us up and used us with different groups. So I realized I simply wasn't going to be able to climb with George. I looked around and decided that the best and fastest mover around the place, apart from myself, was Tenzing. I remember once at lower altitudes, going...
Could you talk about what the road looks like ahead because I think that what the split decision suggests is that this is going to go on for a while. It's going to go at least until February 5th, and it may go a little further than that. Do you look at the race differently now and is this causing you to sort of reassess how you pace it, how you fund it, how you plan the map? You know, not really because I always assumed that it would go at least through February 5th. That's what...
...University of New Hampshire political science professor Dante Scala estimates these "McBamas" make up only 3% of the electorate. As rare as unicorns, perhaps, but just as fascinating, and potentially significant. While an Obama adviser described those split between the two as "a small sliver of the universe," the campaign is paying attention to it, as "everybody is very conscious of what happened to Bill Bradley in 2000" - when independents abandoned the moderate Democrat and helped give McCain a victory. Amy Pellerin, 38, a speech pathologist from Boscawen, N.H., was one of them. In 2004, she liked McCain so much...
...will vote in the Democratic primary, and that they will probably vote for Obama. But McCain's campaign claims that it needs only a small portion of those voters to seal their victory over Mitt Romney. Currently neck-and-neck in the polls, McCain and Romney are expected to split the Republican vote almost evenly. "A thousand of [independents] could vote for Obama," says McCain media strategist Mark McKinnon. "We only need three." McKinnon is a unicorn himself, having expressed his admiration for Obama last year - and reportedly even hinting that he couldn't be a part of a campaign...
...tallying was especially quick, partly due to the fact that Kucinich and Gravel had no supporters present, and Dodd's two people looked at each other - and the obvious lack of brownies - and split before the voting started. This was not good for Tom Flexner, who, while not actually an Iowan and unable to vote, had flown in from New York and was permitted to organize this precinct. He was a friend of the Connecticut Senator, who he met while, "playing golf with Bill Clinton in Martha's Vineyard." It is shocking that the Dodd message didn't click...
