...quiet, intense search for a stronger alternative extends far and wide, and includes four subjects of a recent column - former Florida governor Jeb Bush, incumbent governors Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Mitch Daniels of Indiana, and John Kasich, who is in the midst of his 2010 bid for governor of Ohio. All have thought about running for the White House during their careers, but none have committed to make the 2012 race...
Other possible contenders who attract buzz, including former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, South Dakota Senator John Thune, Texas Governor Rick Perry and Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, are doing very little to make themselves known, conceive a strategy or raise sufficient funds.

She'd work at the snack bar and sit in a junked car way up front to watch the movies--westerns, musicals, horror-film fright fests on Friday...

Even the Southern Poverty Law Center, a Montgomery, Ala., group that monitors militias and extremist groups, knows little about the Hutaree. Bloggers following the raids on Hutaree camps in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio over the weekend speculated that the word was made up, one that came out of the group's own invented dialect, which appears to include military ranks with bizarre names of no clear etymology (its leader, for instance, was known as Captain Hutaree, and was sometimes just called...
