POLITICS: BEDFELLOW AWARD WATCH
Remember in the comic strip "Bloom County," when Senator Bedfellow was defeated on the strength of an election-day headline, "WARNING: VOTING FOR BEDFELLOW MAY CAUSE HERPES"? Well, I'm watching this year's election news for the winner of this year's Bedfellow Award for the latest-arriving scandal to hit a candidate (the 2000 winner, of course, was George W. Bush's drunk driving flap). Right now, the Arkansas Senate race is in the lead! But give us time - the polls don't close until tomorrow evening!
