...think we have to prepare [for BC] the same way we prepared for the game against Northeastern, just be upbeat in practice, sharp in practice.” If there is one facet of its game that Harvard could stand to improve on as it prepares for the winner-take-all rematch with the Eagles, special teams might be it. While the Crimson was a respectable 2-for-8 on the power play in the teams’ first matchup, BC was able to net four man-advantage goals in nine opportunities, including three power-play scores from winger Nathan...
Obama's recent successes, in fact, don't just speak to his popularity as a Democratic candidate. A close look at his victories show a fundamental shift not just in who's winning but in who is voting for the winner. Obama's victory in Louisiana could be, if one were especially cynical, written off as success with "black voters." But what of Nebraska, just to take one example? Obama won the state 68 to 32; he won Nebraska's second congressional district 77 to 23. And while it's true that this district (my home district...
...hyperdemocratic finale to the process of picking a nominee. Nearly two dozen states, tired of standing on the sidelines as future Presidents lavished attention on places like Ottumwa, Iowa, and Nashua, N.H., had muscled their way to an early spot on the calendar.

...campaign that was supposed to end continues to the states that didn't join the stampede to move their primaries forward. Far from being an afterthought as just about everyone had expected, they have the power to crown the winner. And if they don't? The decision may well fall to some 800 party insiders known as super-delegates. Yes, that's right: the perverse result of all this additional democracy, in which more people than ever before will have had a voice, could be that Democrats have to turn to old-style backroom politics to select a nominee...
...relationship with the right. Though the Arizona Senator has solidified his claim to the GOP nomination, he still finds himself in a struggle to win over the party's skeptical conservatives without turning off the swing voters he'll need to win the White House. He was the big winner of Super Tuesday delegates, but he captured only nine states, including six blue ones, while Romney and Huckabee combined to win 12 states, including 10 red ones. McCain has owned independents and moderates, but Huckabee thumped him in the Bible Belt, and McCain even trailed Romney among self-described conservatives...
