...Those complications, however, haven't stopped the political sparring overseas. Last Thursday the Democrats and Republicans Abroad held a debate in Hong Kong's Ritz-Carlton hotel attended by a spirited audience more than double the size that showed up in previous election years. One spectator was Tom Goetz, a former member of Republicans Abroad whose anger over Iraq, where his son is a U.S. intelligence officer, has prompted him to support Kerry. "I never saw this much interest and conflict among the two sides," he says, looking around the crowded ballroom. For Americans in 2004, political passion doesn...
...Crimson also had several close chances of its own in the more offensively focused second half in which the teams combined for 16 shots—as compared to just 10 in the first. Just 10 minutes after halftime, a free kick from sophomore forward Tom Stapleton sent the ball sailing into the box, where it was headed around by several players and knocked down by Gomez before being cleared out by the Brown defense...
Every chance he gets, Senate minority leader Tom Daschle, 56, reminds voters in this Republican stronghold of his power in the nation's Capitol.

After House majority leader Tom DeLay redrew his old rival Martin Frost's district out of existence a year ago, Frost, a veteran Congressman, decided to stand in another one, the 32nd. The incumbent there, freshman Pete Sessions, suddenly faces a pit bull of a campaigner in a battle that will probably be the most expensive House race in the country, with each side expected to spend $4 million. With the candidates trading charges of poster stealing and arguing over who is tougher on child kidnappers, neither one may come out of this ugly fight looking like a winner...
...National Annenberg Election Survey released last week found that 51% of 18-to-29-year-olds believe that the President wants a draft, in contrast to just 8% who think Kerry does. Kerry surrogates Howard Dean, Max Cleland and Michael Moore have all stoked draft fears. Democratic Iowa Senator Tom Harkin told the Des Moines Register this month that the White House has "secret plans" to begin a draft. And Rock the Vote, the left-leaning group started by the music industry, is running ads featuring a forlorn-looking young man getting a buzz cut. "OFF TO COLLEGE...
