The Caucus Men
Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Washington. Mrs. Clinton, by contrast, has won but a single caucus: in Nevada. She also has a slight lead in New Mexico's Feb. 5 caucus, in which provisional ballots are still being counted. Blogger Kevin Drum offers some explanations for Obama's caucus advantage: Caucuses require organization and Obama was better organized. They require enthusiasm and he has more enthusiastic supporters. They require time, and his demographic has more free time. They're mostly in small states, and Obama targeted small states. They're dominated by activists, and activists tend to support Obama. To put it another way, caucuses require that a candidate's support be deep, while primaries require that it be broad.

Easy Come, Easy Go
Everyone wants to be healthy. Everyone wants to look and feel great. But most of us are too lazy to find alternatives for our carbohydrate-laden, swimming-in-ghee meals, or find the time to visit the gym and actually sweat our way to being fit. Wouldnt it be convenient to just magically shrink into that designer dress or grow muscles to rival Arnold Schwarzeneggers? The appeal of taking a little pill, powder or potion that magically does just that with no effort whatsoever on our part is devilishly tempting. Add to that the fact that these physique-altering drugs are sold dirt cheap and can be bought by a 12-year-old with no raised eyebrows or any questioning whatsoever, and the temptation becomes almost impossible to resist. Supplements are anything taken to either make up for a deficiency or strengthen the body.
