B&B's Tom coming to Carlisle, PA to campaign for Clinton
Carlisle will become an epicenter of activity in the 2008 Democratic primary race on Sunday. Gov. Ed Rendell, Sen.

'Bachelor' Bob's back on the market
Bob Guiney is back in the dating business. The former BACHELOR, who was once a castmember and then the centerpiece of the ABC reality show, is back on TV as the host of TLC's DATE MY HOUSE. No, the happily married Guiney - he's hitched to ALL MY CHILDREN star Rebecca Budig - isn't looking for a date. Instead, he uses his real estate smarts to help families sell homes that have been on the market for a while. "They called me and talked about the process, and this appealed to me on every level," Guiney says. "With the beleaguered house market, and everything going on, it's harder to get qualified for a mortgage. That was exciting to me."
