Washington - Every four years, Americans lay claim to a right found nowhere in the US Constitution - that the presidential campaign not only inform, but also entertain.
The US vote is less than three days away and Republican John McCain's numbers are down in the polls, but the senator laid aside his campaign invective against Democrat Barack Obama and appeared on the weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live.
With running mate Sarah Palin's look-alike comedian Tina Fey at his side, McCain pitched a series of fake, cheesy campaign souvenirs to the public to help his famously underfunded campaign.
"I'm a true maverick - a Republican without money," McCain quipped.
John McCain and Barack Obama are going almost neck and neck in the presidential race, in the Hoosier State — that’s what the latest Obama vs McCain Indiana Polls show.
Indiana has been Republican state — the state’s electoral votes were won by Republicans in 2000 and 2004 respectively. Let’s check out what the latest McCain vs Obama Indiana Polls show.
Research 2000/WISH-TV’s Obama vs McCain Indiana Poll, conducted from October 24 to October 28, shows Obama and McCain statistically tied — 47 % to 47 % among the likely voters of Indiana.
London, Nov 2 : Expecting mums will be warned not to drink more than two cups of coffee a day or risk giving birth to underweight babies, according to a health watchdog.
The British Government''s food standards watchdog will this week issue the guidance advising women to limit caffeine consumption to 200mg a day, a third less than the previous recommended limit of 300mg.
The warning follows a US study earlier this year that linked caffeine consumption to a higher rate of miscarriages.
The advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) comes a week after scientists found that a weekly glass of wine during pregnancy could help improve a baby''s behaviour and vocabulary.
