  1. 1. What you wrote here doesn't make much sense. Sound like a weather report and the story is about oil prices.
    2. It was the last debate before the caucuses. Why did the Dems not want to do the N.H. debate?
    4. McRaven said that he expects UT professors to comply with the law.
    5. He is not just an attorney. He is THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. It's not the same.
