South Carolina Beats Vanderbilt, 17-13: Marcus Lattimore Leads No. 9 Gamecocks In Opener
Aug 31st 2012, 02:43

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- No. 9 South Carolina and coach Steve Spurrier got a big scare to open the season. Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw helped the Gamecocks grind their way through past plucky Vanderbilt.

Lattimore ran for two touchdowns and 110 yards in his first game back after tearing his left ACL, and Shaw ran for 92 yards while playing the second half with an injured shoulder as No. 9 South Carolina rallied for a 17-13 victory against Vanderbilt on Thursday night.

Mitt Romney Convention Video: RNC Features Moving Biography Ahead Of Candidate's Speech
Aug 31st 2012, 02:55

Republican National Convention planners picked an interesting time to feature one of the most touching moments of the night, and perhaps week.

About an hour ahead of Mitt Romney's appearance on the RNC stage on Thursday night, a biographic video of the GOP presidential candidate's life aired, eliciting powerful reactions from observers both in the arena and out. The lengthy film included footage of Romney with his father, former Michigan Governor George Romney, and other members of his family. It covered the struggles Romney and his wife, Ann, went through after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. It even covered his work with the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The sentimental production effectively topped off a weeklong effort to humanize Romney and portray him as a devoted and sensitive man.

But then Clint Eastwood, the "secret guest" of the night, temporarily erased all memory of the film, taking the stage to deliver an entirely bizarre, off-the-cuff performance in which he talked to an "invisible" President Barack Obama seated next to him.

GOP Convention 2012: Staples Founder Thomas Stemberg Praises Romney As Job Creator, Attacks Obama
Aug 31st 2012, 02:20

TAMPA, Fla. -- The campaign for GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has held up the success of retailer Staples as evidence of the nominee's credentials as a job creator, a fact voters were reminded of when Staples founder Thomas Stemberg stumped for Romney at the Republican National Convention on Thursday. Bain Capital, the private equity firm that Romney helped found, was one of the early investors in Staples, and the former Massachusetts governor remained on the retailer's board for more than a decade. In claiming he helped create some 100,000 jobs in the private sector over the years, the Romney campaign has leaned heavily on the success of the office supplier, citing roughly 90,000 Staples jobs in their math.

Marco Rubio Speech At 2012 Republican Convention: America Is About 'New Beginnings'
Aug 31st 2012, 03:15

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) had the tough task Thursday of bringing the mood of the crowd from confusion to inspiration, as the only divide between a bizarre speech by film director Clint Eastwood and Mitt Romney's first speech as the official Republican presidential nominee.

He also had to humanize Romney, one of the main efforts of the evening. By the looks of the audience, he did it.

Rubio focused on family, both his own and Romney's, and the American dream of immigrating to the United States and becoming successful here, or helping your children to do so.
