Almost everyone has heard of different 'predictors' of the debates and presidential races--from Weekly Reader to the Washington Redskins' last home game.

What many people may not know is there is one predictor that's worked with better than 90 percent accuracy since the Great Depression: the World Series.

If the winner's home state is a red state, the Republicans win. If the winner's state is blue, the Democrats win.

In Utah, a federal judge will soon decide if the state's open primary system for the nomination of candidates is unconstitutional. The case could have dramatic implications on the future of primary elections, which have become the most important stage of the election process.

Many argue for and against corporate welfare. I support it...mainly because it's already happening and too many corporations are receiving state and federal assistance through vast subsidies and tax breaks, even though these companies are very profitable. Much of this welfare is also unregulated and comes with little to no strings attached. So if it's going to happen anyway...it needs to be responsibly regulated.
