Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District is an unlikely political hotbed. Reliably Democratic territory for a century, the northeastern corner of the Magnolia State went Republican in 1994 and has stayed that way. In the last decade, incumbent Roger Wicker has routinely cruised to victory with margins of 30 percent. But when Gov. Haley Barbour appointed Wicker to fill out the unexpired term of retiring GOP Sen. Trent Lott last December, things got competitive....

7.0 percent: Clinton’s average lead in the seven Pennsylvania polls conducted before Obama’s comments first surfaced–a stat that suggests that, despite frenzied speculation, the Illinois senator’s standing has not slipped in the Keystone State as a result of his San Francisco remarks.

The Serbian was his clinical, dominant self, putting any injury doubts to bed as he vies for a record-breaking 10th Australian Open trophy.

Unfortunately for Paul, his tournament comes to an end at the hands of the 21-time Grand Slam winner.
