President Obama: What Does That Mean to You?

President Obama: What Does That Mean to You?

Last night was the most wired I’ve been in a very long time. Early returns showed Obama down in Virginia and Florida, which put me on the edge of my seat in panic mode. But then as CNN dove into their Magic Map county by county, it was clear that the Democratic regions hadn’t been counted yet.

U of Oregon President Retires, University Looks for New Meal Ticket

Ernie Kent's first reaction was selfish.

When the Oregon basketball coach answered his phone Sunday morning and heard Dave Frohnmayer break the news that he would be stepping down as university president after the 2008-09 school year, Kent couldn't help but think about how that would affect his program.

"But then I stopp
