My supporters are people who believe in being fiscally responsible and socially accepting. I think most people are in that category. Speaking with a broad brushstroke, those are my supporters.
I just feel abandoned. And I feel, I don't feel represented by the Republican Party. I have always had to defend the social side of the Republican Party by saying that it's not the majority, that it's not their focus, when everything suggests just the opposite.

An FBI agent and a Carter County deputy went to the scene, ... As they were driving up they noticed at a pay phone one of the fugitives -- (Charles) Jordan. They immediately arrested him without incident.
Everything is being done that can be done. And yet, we may just be seeing the beginning of what is a real catastrophe.
As (the maintenance supervisor) bent over to look at (a) motor, someone struck him in the head with an ax handle, and he was rendered unconscious,
