| Madeline Rogero has thrown down the gauntlet, making another bid to become Knoxville's mayor, as she did seven years ago. I'm not surprised because I've seen her tenacity firsthand.

Sarah Palin to win the GOP's 2012 presidential nomination has fallen by one-third since March, sliding from 18 points to 12 points. Palin is now running in fourth place for the nomination behind former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The release has several lessons to teach us about how to... |

Both parties say their proposals are necessary to boost a still-shaky economy. The issue is expected to come to a head when Congress returns from its summer break in mid-September.

| Asked which big-name celebrity they would most like to have campaign for them, here’s what the two Republicans vying to become Rhode Island’s next governor — Victor Moffitt and John Robitaille — had to say last week.
