Are the Republicans and Karl Rove managing Obama’s Campaign behind the scenes?

Evidence of a covert campaign to undermine the presidential primaries is rife, so it’s curious that the Democractic Party and even some within the G.O.P. have ignored the actual elephant in the room this year. That would be Karl Rove. Long accused of rigging the two previous presidential elections, this master of deceit would have us believe that he’s gone off to sit in a corner and write op-eds.

Not so. According to an article in Time magazine published last November, Republicans have been organized in several states to throw their weight behind Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic rival of Hillary Clinton. At least three former fundraisers for President Bush flushed his coffers with cash early on in the race, something the deep pockets haven’t done for any candidate in their own party. With receipts topping $100 million in 2007, the first-term Illinois senator broke the record for contributions. It was a remarkable feat, considering that most Americans had not even heard of him before 2005.

The Time article went on to explain that rank and file Republicans were switching parties this spring to vote for Obama in the Democratic primaries. Though not mentioned in the piece, a group called Republicans for Obama formed in 2006 to expedite the strategy. Many states have open primaries, allowing citizens to vote for any candidate, regardless of their party affiliation. In Nebraska, the mayor of Omaha publicly rallied Republicans to caucus for Obama on February 9th, according to Fox News Channel. Called crossover voting, the tactic is playing a crucial role in what appears to be a Rove-coordinated effort to deprive Clinton of the nomination. Even with his more well-known dirty tricks arsenal - phone bank sabotage, fake polling data, swiftboating, waitlisting, electronic voting equipment, Norman Hsu, etc. - Rove would be hard pressed to defeat Clinton in November, since she’s generally popular nationwide and has promised an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq. If the contest isn’t close, the vote-rigging won’t matter. (Several influential Republicans admit as much in a February 11th story for Politico.)

I can’t find any poetic sound devices in this poem can any one help :)?

Here is the poem I am using
Farewell

A little while
and
I will be gone from among you,
Whither I cannot tell.
From nowhere we come;
into nowhere we go.

What is life?:
It is a flash of a firefly
in the night.
It is a breath of a buffalo
in the winter time.
It is the little shadow
that runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset.
Isapo-muxika (Crowfoot)

Should people who believe in the End Times be allowed to be heads of state?

For example, should someone who looks forward to the Rapture (dubya could well be one) be allowed to become President of the USA? I know that no religious test blah blah blah, but this isn’t a religious test, its more of a sanity test. We’re talking about people with their finger on the “nucular” buttons here.

How did carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen change during the first periods of Earth?

How did the following gases (Carbon dioxide, Water, Nitrogen) change during these times:

1. The Early Earth had no atmosphere or ocean.
2. Then volcanic gases and comets vaporizing on impact with the Earth released gases that became the atmosphere.
3. Originally, the atmosphere was hot and all water was in the form of water vapor.
4. Then, as the Earth cooled, water vapor condensed and fell as rain, covering the Earth in one big ocean until continents formed.

What is the best time to go running?

I live in Arkansas and I want to start a morning running routine. Just around my block twice. That’s a little over a mile. But I’m not sure what time would be good to go. Obviously it’d need to be early enough so that it starts off my day and I’m done before lunch but late enough so that it’s not still dark outside. Can anyone help me?
Also, when is a better time to do stuff like crunches, calf raises, push-ups, ect…? Before or after I run? Or is it even necessary to do that if I just ran a mile?
