Reporter Was Passenger in D.C. Vintage Plane Wreck, Still Files Report
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyThe crash of a vintage aircraft at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. this morning, as harrowing as it may have been, appears to have had a relatively happy ending for both the pilot and the single passenger, who happened to be a reporter who filed one of the first stories on the incident. Yes, incredible as it may be, Washington Post transportation writer Ashley Halsey III was aboard one of the many vintage aircraft circling the D.C. skies Tuesday morning, specifically a World War II-era Boening Stearman Model 75 biplane. The aerial event was organized for the premiere of "Legends ...
Rubik's Cube No Longer For Squares?
By David Moye - AOL NewsSAN DIEGO (March 28) -- Pity the poor Rubik's Cube. Although it's celebrating its 30th year as a popular toy, the cube has become, well, square, in recent years. Since the toy was released in 1980 with great fanfare, it's become a knickknack, a paperweight and a cliche prop in movies when the script has to establish a character's massive intelligence quickly. No wonder that the maker of Rubik's Cube is working hard to give the world-famous 3D puzzle a makeover -- by making it the basis of a team sport. The public recently got a sneak peek of what could be the future of competitive sports ...

Handgun Ban Gets Hearing at Supreme Court
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, a direct challenge to the Districts 32-year old handgun ban. When the Court issues its opinion in the case in June, it will be the first time in 70 years that the Court has opined on the right to bear arms, enshrined in the Second Amendment to the Constitution.At issue is the case of Dick Heller, a District resident that applied for the right to keep a handgun in his Capitol Hill home for self-defense. The District rejected his claim based on a city ordinance banning possession of handguns within the ...
Potomac Primary Post-Game Highlights
By Liza Porteus Viana - Politics DailyWhile everyone else is trying to spin what tonight's wins mean for John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, I'd like to take a moment to highlight some of the lighter moments of the evening's excitement. Enough about who evangelicals and conservatives supported, and how Obama now leads Clinton in the delegate race (ok, I guess that's exciting). Here are some moment's that probably won't make headlines but which did have me pressing "rewind" on my TiVo remote to take a closer listen:Obama: Speaking to a crowd of more than 17,000 who braved sub-freezing temperatures in ...
Obama and McCain Sweep Potomac Primaries
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyBarack Obama has won both the Virginia and District of Columbia primaries this evening, while Maryland has extended voting hours until 9:30 Eastern time due to inclement weather. Obama's margin of victory in Virginia figures to be imposing, with a 61%-38% advantage at this hour with 51% of precincts reporting. He also pulled 90% of the Virginia black vote. He is projected to win the DC primary, but with no returns in yet. The story in Virginia so far has been that the white male vote has gone to Obama, 55%-43%, according to exit polls. MSNBC's Chuck Taylor projects a 100 or so total pledged ...
McCain Wins VA in a Squeaker
By Dave - Politics DailyI'm going to write this up now because, while I could wait for MD and DC, polling suggests that McCain has those in the bag. He also appears to have come within a hairsbreadth of having a very, very, bad day. At this point with 67% in McCain is winning 47-44 and all major networks have called it. -So It's clear that McCain has a conservative problem. Exit polling suggested that McCain did the worst among those who consider themselves "very conservatives". So does he ignore them or take steps to bring them in? You're supposed to move to the center when you sew up the nomination and McCain ...
Obama Wins 2, McCain Takes Va.
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyTonight, voters in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Maryland will head to the polls to cast ballots in a series of primaries that has been dubbed, "The Potomac Primary", "The Beltway Primary", even the "Crabcake Primary." I will be back tonight at 7p.m. to hash over all of the up-to-the-minute results.The stakes here are higher than the delegates at stake might indicate. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton must avoid a repeat of this past weekend's sweep by Barack Obama, or her "Firewalls" in Texas and Ohio will begin to look more like the walls of Jericho. A sweep doesn't neccesarily finish ...
Obama Wins in VA and Hillary Goes to TX
By Dave - Politics DailyWell that was fast, and when the polls close in MD and DC, it's just as likely to be as decisive as VA. Get used to seeing pictures like this. Barack Obama won the Virginia primary Tuesday, scoring an initial victory as he squared off with Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Chesapeake primary and Clinton tried to end a string of Obama wins that have put her campaign on the defensive. And where is Hillary Clinton? Gone to Texas, to build a firewall: ...So where will she be? In El Paso, Texas, for a "Solutions for America" rally. And where will she be tomorrow? In McAllen, Robstown, and San ...
Chesapeake Predictions!
By Greg McNeilly - Politics DailyAnother round of primaries; more prediction folly! Today is another big day in the race for the White House. Given the polling, the headline outcome lacks the mystery of previous contests but the unknown details will be shockingly important.On the Democratic side, there are 237 delegates. The District of Columbia has 37 delegates, 99 in Maryland and 101 in Virginia.On the Republican side, there are 119 delegates. The District of Columbia has 19 delegates, 37 in Maryland and 63 in Virginia.All three "Chesapeake" primary states will have big Democrat turnouts. Blah, blah, blah. But let's dig ...
