Dem Presidenential Campaign Staffers Wander Around Utah Picking Their Noses

At least, according to Paul Begala.
“He says it’s a long-term strategy,” said Paul Begala, the longtime Clinton aide and Democratic strategist. “What he has spent it on, apparently, is just hiring a bunch of staff people to wander around Utah and Mississippi and pick their nose.”

This is very interesting, and I might consider signing up (it’s free) if I weren’t starting a new contract next week.
The future of our federal judiciary — particularly the Supreme Court — will effectively be on the ballot in November when voters choose the next President and new class of senators. This seminar explains why [...]
