...Still, moderators pressed each candidate on tough issues early in the debate. McCain was asked if his temper had cost him the endorsement of some of his colleagues in the Senate...
...casting of Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane. The gawky schoolteaching Ichabod of the novel and cartoon becomes an incredibly attractive, law-practicing heartthrob. This Ichabod, as opposed to the weird-looking schlepp in the book, is squeamish but admirable, cowardly but endearing. And while he tries his hardest to temper his hunkiness by acting nevous and jumpy (which definitely elicits some giggles), Johnny can't help but be adorable.

But then again, we've all become a little "Spell Check"-dependent. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has been criticized for his fiery temper. Gary "Family Values" Bauer has come under suspicion for spending time in an office alone with a young female aide. Pat Buchanan has never stopped being controversial. Many candidates have shared their religious beliefs as part of their campaigns; a friend of mine with presidential aspirations jokingly wonders when...
