...What will happen to president- elect Obama's Senate seat? Here's an idea - replace him with Senator Obama. Michelle has certainly impressed during the campaign with her intelligence and commonsense, and she clearly knows how to campaign well. After eight years she could take a tilt at the Presidency. Dr. John R. Errey, GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY...
...left off the team prior to the beginning of this season.Amaker declined to comment on these roster changes.But one needs only to look at the team a year ago to see how far it has come. Of the five players in the starting lineup of the Nov. 28 tilt against New Hampshire last season—sophomores Kyle Fitzgerald, Adam Demuyakor, T.J.

Traditionally, GOP candidates - who tend to favor higher military spending than their Democratic rivals - receive more donations from defense-company political action committees and employees. You might expect the tilt in McCain's favor to be even steeper than normal, given his 23-year Navy career - including nearly six in a Hanoi prison. Add to that the fact that his father and grandfather both served as Navy admirals, and his extensive service on the armed services committee. Not to mention...
