Therapy dog Annabelle is a real treat for Falls residents
''I can still eat, gab and complain and I do it all,'' confided Emma Holmes, 87, scooting her wheelchair behind Annabelle, a luscious English bulldog and the attraction of the day. Stand back. Dressed in a sequined pink brimmed hat and feathery boa, the 50-pound pooch provided a breathtaking view, a combination of slink and waddle as she strolled through the Cuyahoga Falls Village Retirement Community, home to about 130 seniors, including the charming Holmes. ''She's the dearest thing,'' said another resident, Anita Plazzo, 80. ''It's the second time I've seen her. I'm still fairly new here.'' It's a regular route for the therapy dog and her mother hen, Cindy Vacco of Kent, who've been visiting the home for four years to bring doggie kisses and good cheer to folks who sometimes struggle to find them.
Democrats laugh the loudest
First, it throws the Republican race into disarray. People (including me) were already writing post-New Hampshire and pre-Michigan that the nod appeared to be John McCain's for the taking. McCain had momentum after his New Hampshire win, and he had won Michigan against George W Bush in 2000, so it wasn't entirely unreasonable to think that he might be on his way to glory. But that was stopped cold by Michigan voters. Now, not only is there no Republican frontrunner; there's not even anything resembling a likely victory scenario for any of the top-tier candidates. Second, the result seemed to confirm that Republican voters are deeply unenthusiastic about the choices before them. The Republicans, far more than the Democrats, usually have by this point in the process an “establishment" candidate around whom the party faithful have rallied.
