...Scandal took a predictable toll on the G.O.P. In Pennsylvania, 20-year House veteran Curt Weldon fell to the square-jawed Admiral and Clinton administration official, Joe Sestak. Also in Pennsylvania, political newcomer Christopher Carney downed four-term incumbent Don Sherwood, who pleaded with voters to forgive his marital infidelity, apparently to no avail. In Ohio, the Democrat Zack Space pummeled Joy Padgett, the hand-picked replacement of Rep. Bob Ney, who resigned amid an investigation of his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff...

He said it was just a back rub. Voters, too, aren't sure whether they're being strangled or massaged...
...with and keeping track of hate crimes. The 2006-2007 BC Student Guide mandates that “students found responsible for committing a bias motivated offense face sanctions up to and including suspension or dismissal from the University.” BC Dean for Student Development Robert A. Sherwood was present at the rally and told students that the school was following protocol, Browne said. According to Director of Public Affairs John B. Dunn, Sherwood cleared up some of the confusion at the protest about policy. “I think a lot of students’ questions were...
