Don Waddell

Just think we're going to have this player for the next five years.

So Romney seems to have contempt not just for the Democrats who oppose him, but for tens of millions who intend to vote for him.

Sara Zarr

Ethan and I are done," I said finally. "I'm sorry." "He was my first boyfriend." "I know." "The only real boyfriend I've had. I'm a senior in high school and he was my only real boyfriend." "I know."
