...Democratic ticket in November is able to capture a greater share of religious voters than in previous elections, it will be because both Obama and Clinton have rejected their party's traditional fight- or-flight reaction to religion. For decades, the men and women who ran the Democratic Party and its campaigns bought into the conservative spin that the faithful were pro-life, right-wing and most certainly not Democratic voters. Armed with this mind-set, political professionals gave themselves permission to ignore religion and the religious. And in 2004, John Kerry paid the price for that decision...
...played out more like a dress rehearsal for the real thing. Maybe it was the 11th-hour turnaround on the strike negotiations, which cleared the way for a full-on Oscars ceremony Feb. 24 and gave Hollywood's big hitters an excuse to save the price of a plane ticket.

Scudamore wouldn't say how much money the proposed "international round" would generate for the teams...
NASCAR seems to be shying away from core fans to go more mainstream. Is that a mistake? -Laura Eddy, GREENVILLE, S.C.I don't think so. When you have a sport that's grown the way this sport has, you have to capitalize on it. The ticket prices could be a little less, though. We have to keep our fans watching not just at home on TV but here at the racetrack too. This is where you sell people on the speed and excitement of racing...
