Politicos press flesh -- with one another
The atmosphere inside the jam-packed Winter Park Civic Center Wednesday night was typical of the city's annual political mingle: Lots of campaign stickers, coolers of cold beer and baked pig aplenty. But enough about the sweating politicians. There was also Bubbalou's barbecue. Candidates roamed the room, making pitches to people who couldn't be swayed if they were standing in the middle of a Category 5 hurricane. That's because the crowd was filled with people already working on campaigns. Still, chamber of commerce events are almost as much a part of politics as corruption. St. Note: Not all stories have active discussions. 1 woman, 2 brothers. Rx for trouble? Generics don't always work as well as brand names, critics say. The FDA disagrees. 1 woman, 2 brothers.

BEIJING -Aug. NBC’s Beijing Olympic two-day average viewership is 29.1 million and the national rating average of 16.2/30 is the best primetime rating through the first Saturday for a non-U.S. NBC’s LIVE primetime coverage, which included Michael Phelps collecting his first Beijing gold medal and seventh career Olympic gold medal in the 400m Individual Medley, and Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh winning their first match in Beach Volleyball, peaked with a 16.4/30 and 28.7 million average viewers in the 10 p.m. Monday will be another busy day for Michael Phelps, and it’s all LIVE in primetime on NBC.

Then on Tuesday on NBC LIVE in primetime, Michael Phelps could become the greatest Olympian of all-time, swimming in two gold medal finals - the 200m butterfly and 4×200m freestyle rela...

Aug. U.S. In a meeting with refugees, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin characterized Georgia's actions as "complete genocide," according to his office's Web site. The attacks are occurring in regions of Georgia far from the zone of conflict in South Ossetia. This is about annihilation of a democracy on their borders," Saakashvili told the British Broadcasting Corp. "We on our own cannot fight with Russia. Georgia, a U.S. ally whose troops have been trained by American soldiers, launched the major offensive overnight Friday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters Saturday in Moscow that some 1,500 people had been killed in South Ossetia since Friday, with the death toll rising. But Tskhinvali residents who survived the bombardment by hiding in basements and later fled the city estimated that hundreds of civilians had died. Georgia, a country about the size of South Carolina that borders the Black Sea between Turkey and Russia, was ruled by Moscow for most of the two ...

Cindy McCain listens to her husband, Sen. Dallas, Texas. SPRINGFIELD, Ill. ST. WASHINGTON Cindy McCain might yearn to be invisible sometimes, or at the very least, not surrounded by the Secret Service and photographers and gawking people. The scrutiny seems too much to bear. Something about that half-apologetic manner."I appreciate you disrupting your day," she tells one administrator of a Harlem charter school during a June visit to New York, even though a visit by a potential first lady is a big coup for this little school."I'm sorry to interrupt your work," she tells a class of frisky fourth-graders, who are thrilled to be interrupted.McCain, 54, ethereally slender in a satiny taupe suit, half-stoops at a respectful distance to observe the children. She's been a candidate's wife for almost the entire course of her 28-year marriage. She looks perfect for the part.The perfection of Cindy McCain is a theme that repeats itself in interviews with those who know her this woman who...
