| A posting in National Review's The Buzz blog, prompted me to send an email. The Buzz's Eric Pfeiffer noted that Sen. Joseph Biden is writing an autobiography and that many people were wondering how he could have been elected senator, as he was in November 1972, at the age of 29, one year below the constitutionally required age of 30. The answer, which Pfeiffer provided, is that Biden turned 30 just two weeks after Election Day and so was of the required age when he was sworn in in January 1973. |

| What does Tuesday's special election in the 2nd District of Ohio mean? The election was held to replace former Rep. Rob Portman, now U.S. special trade representative. The 2nd District is heavily Republican: It voted 63 percent for George W. Bush in 2000 and 64 percent in 2004. Yet Republican nominee Jean Schmidt beat Democrat Paul Hackett by only 52 to 48 percent (PDF). |
