No. 7 New Hampshire (7-2, 5-1) @ No. 12 Towson (7-2, 5-1 Colonial Athletic Association) Time: Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Site: Johnny Unitas Stadium Radio: 1570 AM Series: New Hampshire leads 7-0. What's at stake: In a critical contest between two of the three teams tied in first place in the CAA, Towson will look to beat New Hampshire for the first time in program history. The Tigers are coming off a 40-30 win against Maine, which gives them a school-record five CAA wins this season, and will honor their 13 seniors before the game.

The politics-by-the-numbers game we play has been quirkily friendly to Mitt Romney. He was able to waltz into New Hampshire a week before its Republican presidential primary boasting of being a winner in the Iowa caucuses. He could do so despite the fact that he beat former Sen. Rick Santorum, a mere asterisk in the standings a week earlier, by the infinitesimal margin of eight votes. In doing so, and after spending millions in an 11th-hour effort to make up for his near-absenteeism in Iowa, he actually won six fewer votes than he had garnered in his second-place finish there four years ago. Until that late gambling surge, the former Massachusetts governor had pretty much kissed off Iowa as unwelcome terrain.

EXETER, N.H. -- "I haven't been here since Monday. Won't be back 'til tomorrow," Bob Dole told supporters the other day when he arrived for a TV debate in Manchester, N.H.Presidential candidates always have plenty of time for New Hampshire, even when there appears to be more important business elsewhere -- as there is now, in Congress, where it's make-or-break time for the Republican revolution.The Kansas senator's three visits in four days may seem excessive, especially with the primary election more than four months away.

When New Hampshire, a conservative, Republican-dominated state, takes the lead on a controversial issue, it's worth taking note. Last week, the state's lawmakers approved a resolution volunteering their state as a testing ground for RU-486, the French drug that has been termed an "abortion pill" because it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb. With RU-486, ending a pregnancy can be almost as simple as taking an aspirin. The pill is seen as a grave threat by abortion opponents, and they have convinced the French manufacturer of the drug that trying to market it in this country would result in JTC boycotts and other political troubles to the manufacturer)

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The Democratic presidential campaign, in which Vice President Al Gore and former Sen. Bill Bradley both started by vowing to take the high road and stay on it, wound up in a ditch in the New Hampshire primary. Actually, the vice president had already slipped off that road in Iowa. He misrepresented fellow-Democrat Bradley's health-care proposal there by saying Bradley was abandoning the elderly by eliminating Medicaid -- without reporting that Mr. Bradley's plan called for something better to replace it. Mr. Gore in Iowa also resurrected a Bradley Senate vote against a disaster relief amendment -- without noting that the former senator had voted for the relief bill itself.

One more win, and Towson's worst-to-first journey in the Colonial Athletic Association will be complete. One more game like the one he had Saturday against New Hampshire, and Terrance West will be a lock for the Jerry Rice award given to the top freshman in the Football Championship Subdivision. The turnaround Tigers continued their remarkable season and their star but not starting tailback continued his breakout season. After falling behind on the game's first possession, No. 12 Towson scored three touchdowns in less than three minutes and seven in the first half — three by West — en route to a wild 56-42 victory over the No. 7 Huskies at Johnny Unitas Stadium before an announced crowd of 8,366 Saturday night.
