Nearly 20 percent of the 3 million registered Asian American voters haven't made up their minds who to vote for in November.

AHMEDABAD, India -- There will be no dropping home for a quickie for a Muslim prisoner who was denied bail by an Indian court yesterday after he asked to go home so he could have sex with his wife.
