...conditions were really good we were expecting lots of wind and heavy waves,” Morris said, “The current was pulling us down the race course.” As the races progressed, a slight headwind turned to become a slight tailwind, which combined with tidal currents that strengthened over the morning helped to push and pull the boats through the course. Light rain over flat water kept conditions cool. “Each race was faster than the last. The river added a lot of speed to the teams after that,” Bosworth...
...ways to use energy. (Listen to Krupp talk about climate policy in the U.S. and a zero-carbon future on Greencast.)

He may win the nomination that way, but he will lose his rationale: that he represents a dramatic, tidal wave of a movement for change. In fairness, Obama did raise his game in recent weeks. His pitch was more down-to-earth, substantive and specific in Texas and Ohio. But his TV cool requires a certain distance, and distance easily slides into remoteness.
