PAC Behind GOP Candidate For Gabby Giffords Seat Shows Gun In Email Appeal

How Mandela Expanded The Art Of The Possible
When I was coming of age in the late 1970s, as an African-American high-schooler and college student, I had two certainties: Nelson Mandela would die in prison in apartheid South Africa and no black person would become U.S. president in my lifetime.
So much for my youthful powers of prediction.

Biden Survives, So Biden Wins
All night long, almost every candidate on stage aimed their attacks at Joe Biden. Early on, Kamala Harris referred to him as “Senator Biden,” a perhaps not-so-accidental demotion.
