President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney entered the final days of the

contesting, a Tribune-Review poll shows.
The poll showed the race for Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes locked up at
47 percent in its final week. Romney was scheduled to campaign in the
Philadelphia area on Sunday, and former President Bill Clinton planned to

November 27, 2012 | by Warner Todd Huston
One of my favorite stories this week is the college professors at
Pennsylvania’s Community College of Allegheny who’ve had their hours cut
because of the costly requirements of Obamacare.
One of Obamacare’s changes to general business practices is to make people
who work 30 hours or more a “full time worker.” For generations that magic
number was 40 hours a week. But now that Obamacare is forcing this ... 阅读全帖 |

In 1970, Washington became the first -- and remains the only -- state in the

A generation later, and 40 years removed from the landmark United States
Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling that extended abortion access nationwide,
Washington is once again poised to stand out.

Colorado Springs — Despite the media’s insistence that the Colorado

that Tuesday’s stunning elections were prompted and won by forces on the
