...Perhaps Crist's biggest asset is money. The conservative groundswell for Rubio has netted his campaign a surprising $1 million; Crist, however, has $5 million, which could begin raining down on his opponent early next year. After last week's Rasmussen poll, Rubio declared that as a result of "our campaign's growing momentum, voters are starting to realize that there are vast differences between me and Charlie Crist on a number of important issues." But Crist ads will question that assertion - as well as Rubio's record on matters like immigration reform and cap-and-trade policies to limit...
...Obama is being very careful about how he packages the new spending ideas, which could push the total stimulus price tag past the $1 trillion mark. For starters, he never used the word stimulus in his Dec. 8 speech to describe the new effort, perhaps because according to a Rasmussen survey, that's a concept that only one-third of Americans support. Nor did he say how much the new programs would cost. He gave few details of how they would be paid for, and he never explained when the plan would go into effect. As he has done...

Harvard was unable to capitalize on power plays, despite Minnesota senior Kelli Blankenship getting boxed for cross-checking at 4:59 into the third period. 70 seconds later, teammate Terra Rasmussen was called for hooking to give the Crimson a five-three advantage for 50 seconds. But the three Minnesota skaters packed in around the goal and prevented Harvard from penetrating, actually managing to take away the puck to set up a scoring opportunity of their own. Kessler made the save, falling to the ice in the process. A whistle was blown, and the senior recovered quickly...
...speech announcing a surge of 30,000 U.S. troops Tuesday, Obama's made it clear that he expects more help from his allies, insisting that extra NATO troops was a test of the alliance's credibility. In turn, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said he was confident 5,000 extra troops could be found. "This is not a U.S. mission alone: America's allies in NATO have shared the risks, costs and burdens of this mission from the beginning," said Rasmussen, who has traveled around Europe in recent weeks to drum up more military muscle.
