...into it,” Crespo said. Paul H. Rubin, an economics professor at Emory who advised Allen on his undergraduate thesis, said his former student was always “self-assured, confident, and seemed to know what he was doing.” Rubin was quick to tout the motivation and independence that characterized Allen’s thesis work. “He came up with the idea himself, and my supervision consisted of mainly suggesting different methods of analysis,” Rubin said. Crespo cited these same characteristics as reasons for Allen?...
Republicans like the timing of the speech. Bush will beat up on Democrats over stalled domestic eavesdropping legislation and tout a bipartisan stimulus package he helped negotiate - both issues are vote winners for G.O.P. candidates. Beyond that, they're happy if he catches a few spears for them. Says one senior G.O.P. Hill aide: "If [the Democrats]want to spend resources attacking a President who won't be on the ballot, great."

But his mid-day confidence wilted as McCain's grew into the evening. In a sign he is learning how to lose, he called McCain...
Previous evangelical politicians have run as single-issue candidates opposed to abortion. Huckabee isn't doing that. But he is very nearly a single-constituency candidate. His ads tout him as a "Christian leader," and he says that being a pastor is "pretty good preparation to lead a country." Asked to explain his rise in the polls, he invokes God's blessing...
