1. Do you mean LOSE or LOOSE?

"Republicans lose" is good news.

"Republicans loose" is bad news.

I know they don't teach spelling any more in public school, but sometimes (as here) it matters.

2. none of the Republican women I've met were particularly loose

But maybe my clothes weren't preppy enough.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the two key parts of landmark campaign finance law designed to curb the influence of money in politics, a ruling affecting the 2004 and future presidential and congressional elections.

The nation's high court upheld as constitutional provisions that ban unregulated contributions known as "soft money" to political parties and that restrict some television and radio "issue ads" by corporations and unions right before elections.

The ruling produced eight separate opinions, totaling more than 275 pages.

The part of the ruling upholding the two key provisions was jointly written by Justices John Paul Stevens and Sandra Day O'Connor, a key swing vote on the court divided between conservative and liberal factions, and was joined by Justices David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer.
