A Marriage of Politics
Author: Ruth Coe Chambers
My conservative Republican in-laws thought it was hysterically funny when I, as a new bride, told them I grew up in a town with only one Republican. Time and again I heard them sharing this knowledge with friends and other family members. There was lots of laughter. For the first few years they found this cute.

Lessons for Health Care Reform
Author: Bonnie Lefkowitz
Today, when national health reform is once again the focus of public attention and hotly debated in the Presidential election campaigns, it strikes me that this story has much to offer pundits and politicos.

Real Life Issues: Politics and Clothes
Author: Dorree Lynn, PhD

Politics and Football: Both National Sports
Author: Dorree Lynn, PhD
This is a historical week of sorts. OK. Not world shattering historical, but pretty significant nonetheless. First, the country stopped to watch the underdog Giants beat the New England Patriots during Super Bowl XLII. Whether one likes it or not, football is our stadium war, while politics remain our national battle ground. In fact, if you think of it, they usually play by the same rules.
