Larry's brother, Jon, was deployed for Vietnam in November of 1966. While flying a mission over North Vietnam his plane was shot down and he was taken prisoner of war.

Ahlam, a teacher, and her mother fled to northern Iraq where her mother died from the stress of losing most of her family.

The College Republicans and the College Democrats gathered for an election watch party Tuesday night at The Inn.

Here, Maddie Kimmel shows her support for her guy while Lydia Heinlen cheers for her gal. The photo was taken early in the evening, thus everyone was smiling at that point.

Early on, the TV networks made the obvious calls so the electoral count bounced from one candidate winning to the other being in the lead.

Would this trend continue? Would nearly all pollsters and pundits be wrong?
