Mitt Romney and the War on Women

Steffi Badanes
Blogs Editor

In 2002, Mitt Romney was pro-choice. He strongly believed in protecting women’s rights to choose. Now in 2012, he’s pro-life and carelessly tells America that he plans on “getting rid” of Planned Parenthood and instead give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. So the man who once believed in protecting women’s rights now believes that women shouldn’t be able to have access to cancer screenings, pap smears, STD tests/treatments, and other forms of basic health care? He would rather help Americans who need it the least?

MLB Predictions/Catch up

John Berger
Reporter

We’re about three weeks removed from Opening Day, but the baseball season is still in its infancy. That means we’ve got enough time left to make some predictions.

AL East- New York Yankees. The Yankees didn’t have any big signings over the winter, but they did make a few beneficial moves. The AL East will be very competitive, but the Yankees are the best team. C.C Sabathia anchors the rotation, and Mark Teixera, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez are part of a strong lineup. Granderson and Jeter are on fire thus far, each with an OPS over 1.000.

Negative advertising’s impact is strong; the remedy’s in research

Elizabeth Kilbride
Opinions Editor

Jeremy W. Peters recently wrote an article for the New York Times headlined “92% of Ads in Florida Were Negative.” Exhibit A was an ad by the pro-Romney Super PAC Restore Our Future, although I’m not sure this is a corner of YouTube you want to visit. Jane Mayer also wrote about negative advertising in an article about Larry McCarthy, who helps direct Restore Our Future, in The New Yorker; the article was called “Mitt Romney’s Attack Dog.”

A look at the American League

John Berger
Reporter

We’ve officially hit the date when pitchers and catchers report for spring training. That also means we’ve hit the date of starting a ridiculously long season, one that encompasses about 9 months of the year.

Baseball is a sport that can be incredibly fun to follow if your team is doing well, and rather boring to follow if your team is not doing well.
