MILWAUKEE, Wis. (AP) — Another punch of snow loomed for the upper Midwest while thunderstorms stretched from the southern Plains to the Northeast on Tuesday, inconveniencing voters in many of the states holding primaries and caucuses.

Snow spread out of Colorado on a path across the upper Midwest, likely to reach the Great Lakes by nightfall.

In warmer air, a narrow line of rain and thunderstorms extended from Oklahoma up the Ohio Valley to New York state.

Tuesday's forecast for Wisconsin ran the gamut from dense fog to a winter storm warning in effect for parts of the state through Wednesday afternoon.

Among the Republican field, John McCain is a rare breed of politician — a man who consults his conscience instead of the latest polls, a man who puts his country’s interests above his own, a man who tells voters the truth rather than what they want to hear. On the campaign trail, he distinguishes himself from rivals on both sides by refusing to pander to local special interests and to his party’s fringes. As Republican voters in 21 states go to the polls today, The Sun deems him the best of the field in the GOP primary.

Our friends at The Yale Daily News have already touched on this, but there’s something to be said for electing a non-Yalie to the White House after exactly 20 years of Bulldog dominance. George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush both earned their undergraduate degrees at Yale, and both Bill and Hillary Clinton went to Yale Law. Though we’d love for Big Red representation in the Oval Office someday, we’ll settle for Columbia and Harvard this time around.

Generation Y: the Echo Boomers, the Millennial Generation, the children of the Baby Boomers. Whatever the title, the youth of today, formerly labeled apathetic, unreachable teens antithetical to their activist parents who drove the cultural and political revolutions of the Vietnam War era, are hot commodities for an unexpected demographic: the 2008 presidential hopefuls.

As the primary season is heating up, the Millennials are making history. Forty-four million Americans aged 18 to 29, representing approximately a quarter of the nation’s electorate, will be eligible to vote in 2008 according to an article by youth voting expert Heather Smith. Consequently, gaining the youth vote has become a defining feature of both Democratic and Republican candidates’ campaigns.

BOSTON, Mass. — If you’re reading this over breakfast, I’m at a rally in Faneuil Hall for John McCain. Tomorrow, barring a last-minute political earthquake, Republicans in over 20 states will go to the polls and all but crown the Arizona senator the nominee of their party. It’s already being called one of the greatest political comebacks in American history — one that I hope to explain in the thesis (book?) I plan to begin writing when I return to Ithaca next week. I’ve spent the better part of the last two months doing everything in my limited power to make that comeback possible — attending rallies, writing letters to the editor and calling conservative talk radio to counter the relentless anti-McCain jihad.

Preferred Candidate: Hillary Clinton
"I think a woman would do a better job. We’ve had men running the country for the last 200 years and they just keep putting us further and further in debt. I think a woman may be able to take us out of debt and turn this country around. Do some good."

Rayna Reid ’10
Preferred Candidate: Barack Obama
"[Obama] is really the best candidate for the job. I interned with the Hillary Clinton campaign and I didn’t like some of the tactics they were using. I feel like they weren’t listening to the voters. I feel like Obama’s really going to change things."

With Super Tuesday fast approaching, this year’s winter fashions are politics as usual! It’s time to find out which candidates will rock the exit polls with trendy attire, and what wardrobe nightmares will prevent big wins tomorrow in the unforgiving fashion mainstays of New York and L.A.

As voters head to the polls on Tuesday, they will face one of the most open fields of candidates in recent history. On the Republican ticket, voters will see two lesser-known candidates — a libertarian-leaning congressman who is engaging supporters in unprecedented ways online, and a former assistant secretary of state who did some of his undergraduate work at Cornell during Vietnam War protests.

With Super Tuesday just a week away, Sen. John McCain’s (R-Ariz.) campaign is gaining momentum at a critical point in the presidential race. McCain is currently anticipating the results of today’s primary in Florida, considered to be the most decisive contest to date.
