GOP Candidates Focus On South Carolina
Two polls out today confirm McCain's frontrunner status in the state. The Greenville (SC) News reports that a Clemson University poll "of 450 prospective" South Carolina GOP primary voters conducted Jan. 9-16 shows McCain leading with 29%, followed by Huckabee, 22%; Romney, 13%; and Thompson, 10%. However, "nearly 40 percent of the respondents said they were unsure how they would vote in Saturday's Republican presidential primary." A Zogby International poll out this morning shows McCain leading in South Carolina with 29%, followed by Huckabee, 22%; Fred Thompson, 14%; Romney, 12%; Paul, 5%; and Giuliani, 5%. Commenting on the results, pollster John Zogby said this morning, "There was no discernible bump for Romney coming out of Michigan. We are also seeing that any pickup for Fred Thompson hurts Mike Huckabee in this race, which is as close as any we have seen." The poll surveyed 815 likely GOP primary voters from January 14-16.

The Hard Sell
He notes that the handful of films that have attempted to address topics of sexual relations have more often than not been spurned by audiences. There are exceptions to El-Lozys theory. The critically acclaimed Omaret Yacoubian is an excellent example of how far the censors and audiences boundaries have expanded. With a number of graphic and garish scenes, the film tackled all aspects of social life in Egypt, from religiosity to homosexuality. It was also was one of the most successful Arab films of 2006, raking in LE 6 million in the June 25 opening week and LE 20 million over its entire run typically, films are considered commercial successes if they net LE 4-6 million and are smash hits when they hit LE 10 million in box office. A more conservative Egypt of the 1980s and early 1990s might never have allowed Yacoubian to see the light of day.

Local folks that complain so much simply do not know how the rest of the (utility systems) world works. Thanks for good, dependable and reasonable priced gas and electric. Note this; I have never and do not now have any relationship with Vectren. hmorgan .
