Penn State student, Joe Dado, was last seen leaving a frat party at Phi Gamma Delta in the early hours of Sunday morning when he went missing. By Monday afternoon, the FBI, police, family and k-9 units had teamed up to comb the campus to find Joe Dado. Monday evening Joe Dado’s body was located by repairmen responding to a 6 PM service call.

Joe Dado had fallen approximately 15 feet to his death near a mechanical room outside Penn State’s Hosler building. He suffered severe head trauma. Joe Dado’s body was found by repairmen responding to a service call at about 6 p.m.

Alcohol was believed to be a factor in Joe Dado’s death.
Joseph Dado graduated from Greater Latrobe High School in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 2009.

In a stunning upset, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee outpaced rivals including Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty to win the 2012 straw poll at the Values Voter Summit held in Washington D.C.  Huckabee took 28% while Palin, Romney and Pawlenty each took around 12%.

With Palin supposedly the favorite for the 2012 nomination, the results were interesting, but might also be explained by the fact that Palin was not present to address the Summit (she and her husband Todd were welcoming son Track back from a deployment in Iraq).

Nonetheless, the poll, and the margin by which Huckabee won shows his potential among the values set.
