McCain, who has railed against lobbyists and "special interests," found himself in the awkward position of defending a lobbyist. A former adviser to President Clinton defended McCain. The Times story could turn out to be a fundraising boon for McCain. Ed Koch doesn't think Clinton would accept a spot as Obama's No. 2 because "she's past childbearing age; she's too old." Clinton's campaign spending, including nearly $100,000 for groceries in Iowa, has some donors concerned. Clinton still mantains a slight edge over Obama Ohio, but the Texas race is deadlocked.

Nature's elemental forces are revealed in a way they aren't during milder winters. .

Yet Gray chose him from the 30 actors who filled Gaiser Hall for the audition a few months ago. "I was looking at the core of who (the actors) are, and Nick stood out," she said.

Souter's cash took SNP to victory
The possibility that the SNP might win the election first appeared in June last year, and it stayed ahead through October to the turn of the year. It is easier to raise money when you are ahead." How can anyone say that Souter's money swung it? As an ex labour voter, I can tell you right now that it wasn't SNP 'advertising' that changed my mind. .
