...Chairman Michael L. Taylor ’08 noted some key changes to this year’s campaign regulations, which include stricter registration procedures for campaign staffers, a revamped system of assessing campaign violations, and the lifting of a one-year embargo on e-mail campaigning. Sundquist, a veteran of last year’s presidential campaign, said the biggest change is a scheduling alteration that has shortened the time between the first allowance for active campaigning and the beginning of voting—which falls on Dec. 3 this year.“That?...
...left and center candidates respectively of their parties, in a dead heat. If electability was determined by race or experience, then the half-black and “inexperienced” Sen.

"The brinksmanship doesn't serve the nation well...
...Dick Wilson as Mr. Whipple, the beleaguered grocer in toilet-paper ads who begs of customers, "Please don't squeeze the Charmin." The iconic ad campaign, which ran from 1964 to 1985, rocketed Wilson into pop-culture history--and national fame. "Everybody says, 'Where did they find you?'" the veteran actor told a reporter in 1985. "I say I was never lost...
