A USA Today/Gallup poll released before Tuesday's West
Virginia primary indicates a majority of Democratic voters
say they want the nomination race to continue.
The poll of 1,017 national adults conducted May 8-11
indicates 55 percent of likely Democratic voters say both
Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill.,
should stay in the race.
There was an increase in the percentage of those interviewed
who thought Clinton should drop out of the race, however.
The poll indicates 35 percent of those interviewed said
Clinton should bow out, while a May 1-3 Gallup poll
indicated 23 percent stated that opinion.
"People are reacting to all the news coverage since the
North Carolina and Indiana primaries, which has been
basically saying that it's over," Emory University Professor
Alan Abramowitz told USA Today. "At the same time, all
along most Democratic voters have felt like, 'Let the
voters have their say.'"
A slight majority, 55 percent, say Obama should pick
Clinton as his running mate. Clinton supporters back the
Obama-Clinton ticket by 73 percent, while 43 percent of
Obama supporters are enthusiastic about the so-called dream
ticket.
The poll quoted a sampling error of 3 percentage points.
Should the democrate race continue?

Florida man, 77, tackles female intruder
A 77-year-old retired Florida construction worker said he
was just protecting his home when he tackled a petite woman
who allegedly tried to rob him. Nicole Mason-Suares, 22,
was charged with armed burglary, aggravated battery on a
person 65 or over and possession of burglary tools after
Walter Funk caught her walking through his Seminole, Fla.,
home Saturday, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported.
Funk said he had answered a knock on the front door and
found no one there. He said he then saw the 5-foot-2,
100-pound Mason-Suares inside and heading for the back door
and tackled her. Funk had to swat a knife out of
Mason-Suares' hands during their encounter, authorities
said. After Funk's wife called police, Mason-Suares
received hospital treatment for minor wounds and was
detained at Pinellas County Jail on $25,000 bail.

Commander probed in nude shooting case
A former Swedish military commander is being investigated
for allegedly trying to hide video footage of naked soldiers
shooting shoulder-fired cannons. Lars-Olof Corneliusson,
past commander of the Swedish amphibious military unit
stationed outside Stockholm, allegedly ordered the person
leading the 2004 nude shooting exercise to demolish footage
of the incident, the Swedish News Agency TT reported Monday.
The footage was scrutinized after being aired, against
Corneliusson's wishes, by the Uppdrag Granskning television
news program in 2006. Cmdr. Christer Olofsson, who led a
military investigation of the incident, criticized the unit
for failing to act right away. Corneliusson is also being
investigated for crimes related to a boating accident that
left two soldiers dead, the news agency said.

Baseballs bombard homes; field shut down
A little league baseball field in Portland, Ore., was shut
down after neighboring residents complained their homes
were being bombarded with foul balls. The Hollywood Little
League was forced to close its newly renovated field after
neighbors complained the foul balls were causing a safety
hazard, KPTV, Portland, Ore. reported Monday. "Many of
these are hitting our homes with a lot of force. It's only
a matter of time before there's a personal injury or a
broken window," resident Chris Altenhofen said. Hollywood
Little League organizers said they worked closely with the
city to ensure the field was up to snuff and did not intend
to exclude neighbors' considerations from the upgrade plans.
Organizers said they will install additional safety
equipment as long as they are allowed to reopen the field.
