...need to build on. On Friday night, we won the special-teams battle [for] the first time in a while.” KILLER LAPSES This weekend showed the Crimson just how quickly a game can change when a team loses focus for a few minutes or falls victim to bad luck. Often, if the defense fails to recover its mental edge after letting in a goal, it can snowball into a scoring streak for the opposition. During Harvard’s haphazard start against Quinnipiac, the Bobcats struck twice within 53 seconds in the middle of the first period...
...Senate, and he's never taken a political risk. The same advisers can also be dismissive of Obama's massive crowds, calling the legions that show up "teeny boppers," and implying that they're attracted to the Illinois Senator's star quality, not his politics. But McCain is a victim of that same mixed blessing. Al Davenport, a 66-year-old salesman from Bedford, New Hampshire, went to see McCain, and liked him - but he says that Obama will get his vote. He "reminds me of Kennedy...And I like that he's bringing out the young people...
This is the exact opposite of blaming the victim; it's blaming the customer - because Romney and his staff insist that the product itself is not flawed.

"I don't believe Mike Huckabee has positions that are going to appeal to voters in New Hampshire, Michigan and South Carolina."

Both the U.S. military and the Shi'ite-dominated government had fought the Sunni jihadist group for years. By the beginning of 2007, Sunni tribal leaders and nationalist insurgents had also begun battling with their former allies in AQI in order to retake control of Sunni communities...
...pirouettes may have less to do with a possible cover-up of an Administration-led assassination than a poorly executed attempt at damage control. If Bhutto was killed in a deliberate attack by a sniper, the government would have much more to answer for than if she was the victim of an arguably less-focused terrorist bombing. Bhutto has been dogged by terrorist threats since she returned to Pakistan on October 18; attending a rally and waving to crowds from the sunroof of her car was clearly a risky undertaking. And the government can argue that providing security under such...
