...help but overhear admissions tour guide Erica V. Eastspring ’11 explaining to a crowd of feisty, prep-school seniors why she love, loves Harvard so, so much. “To be quite frank,” she shouted, striking up an inappropriately academic tone for the setting at hand, “I absolutely adore Harvard’s quaint, collegiate, neo-Georgian architecture and its professorial staff.

But Palin's Harris-like image of inexperience can't be helping with women voters like Geyer. Palin's strident tone and mocking attacks on Obama have failed to galvanize Florida women for McCain; Obama holds a 12-point lead among that group in this month's Mason-Dixon poll...
