Hyfs And Now, A Talking Moose
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Former American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken held a slight edge over textile entrepreneur Keith Crisco in a congressional primary election Wednesday, with officials working to count every last ballot before declaring a winner. There were less than 400 votes separating the Democratic Party candidates in the Republican-leaning 2nd Congressional District. The winner faces Republican incumbent Renee Ellmers - who was first elected in the tea party wave of 2010 - in November. Both Aiken and Crisco, once the state s top business recruiter under Gov. Beverly Perdue, have cast themselves as centrists. Both will have to overcome the district s strong bloc of evangelical Christian voters who tend to vote Republican. Aiken has said previously that he doesn t believe the fact he is stanley becher stanley quencher gay will affect whether people vote for him. The state elections boar stanley puodelis d on Wednesday showed the latest unofficial results giving Aiken the 40 percent of the tally that he needs to avoid a runoff election in July and a margin big enough that Crisco can t request a recount. Aiken was carefully watching the numbers, spokeswoman Tucker Middleton said. It s close, but we re confident, she said. But almost 400 absentee ballots issued had not been returned, according to data provided Wednesday by the state elections board.

Updated at 12:04 p.m. ESTFederal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on Wednesday that record-low interest rates are still needed to ensure that the eco stanley cup nomic recovery will last and to help ease the sting of high unemployment.In his twice-a-year report to the House Financial Services Committee, Bernanke struck a confident tone that the recovery should endure. But he also sought to tamp down expectations. The moderate economic growth the Fed expects will lead to only a slow decline in the nation s nearly double-digit unemployment rate, he said.He offered no new clues about the timing of an interest rate increase. Most economists think it is months away. Bernanke said rates will need to stay at exceptionally low levels for an extended period as the expansion matures. Investors took Bernanke s remarks in stride on a morning when the government said sales of new homes fell to a record low in January and the Senate passed a bill intended to help create jobs. The jobs legislation stanley quencher would give tax breaks to businesses that hire the unemployed.

This article originally appeared on RealClearPolitics.If Virginia s political history is any indication, Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has reason to be optimistic about winning election as governor in November. Virginia is one of only two states that choose their governors in the year following a presidential election.

President Obama discussed the latest controversy stemming from the FBIrsquo disclosures in the ongoing investigation of Hillary Clintonrsquo private email server, seeming to criticize the agencyrsquo director, James Comey, in a new interview published Wednesday.
