...Republic. The Croats had barely pulled themselves off of their victory pile when Semih Senturk somehow responded at 121:46 (the latest ever goal in the tournament's history) with an unstoppable smash off a long kick from Rustu that somehow ended up on his foot. It's a wonder that volatile Turkish coach Fatih Terhim's head didn't explode. The Croats, unnerved, were a disaster in the penalty kicks, with the normally cool Luka Modric missing the target in the first kick. They would miss 3 of 4 kicks, which isn't easy...

...wonder then that the McCain campaign is attempting to elevate the town hall format to a status not previously seen in a general election campaign, which is traditionally dominated by television ads, airport hangar rallies and formally moderated debates. McCain has challenged Obama to a series of weekly town halls this summer, an idea that is fast becoming the central argument of his candidacy. McCain's intention is to make the town hall format synonymous with honest campaigning and a new kind of politics.
