...overturn Roe v. Wade. Candidate Bush's clarification of his anti-abortion stance last week was unsurprising but also indicative of the strength of that plank of the Republican platform. As we mark the 27th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, the possible abandonment of a woman's right to choose is a thought scary enough to make you board the next Democratic campaign bus to New Hampshire...
...longer is a larger version of the local neighborhood. Increasingly, the players don't hail from the Great North. The best player in the game right now, Jaromir Jagr, hails from the Czech Republic. The hottest player in the league right now, Patrik Elias, is also from there...

"You can't run to the left on taxes in this state and win the Republican primary," says New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg, Bush's state chairman. Gregg may be right about his home state but wrong about the rest of the country. In the TIME/CNN poll, Republicans by more than 2 to 1 say they would rather have a smaller tax cut with more money going to Social Security and debt repayment than a larger tax cut that left less money...
