From child of illegal immigrants to Olympic gold medallist.

Looking at Obama’s record on school policy in Chicago. Bill Ayers talks about his philosophy. Which looks like it might become an election issue. As indeed it has, or at least ads about Ayers and Obama have. Obama is reacting strongly to the issue.

Madonna’s contribution to the election campaign shows the restraint and good judgment for which she is famous.

As a young Senator with no executive experience, Obama picks as his running mate an older Senator with little executive experience. Links on said Senator. Polling suggests the voters are underwhelmed. The McCain camp is quick in its ad response. And also.

Obama, and particularly the media hyping of Obama, reading this comment by Victor Davis Hanson and a British view from Simon Heffer, is beginning to remind me of the Frank Herbert poem:
Here lies [a toppled] god
His fall was not a small one
We did but build his pedestal
A narrow and tall one
There is even the requisite temple.

The McCain campaign continues to be agile in its ad comebacks. The Obama website decides that retaining Obama’s critiques of The Surge is in Iraq is no longer politique. McCain clearly thinks Iraq is now a positive for him: in short, both candidates in this election pledge to end this war and bring our troops home. The great difference, the great difference, is that I intend to win it first.’’

Putative Electoral College votes. Obama has more solid Electoral College votes. Obama is doing no better among less educated white voters than Kerry did in 2004.

Profiling the Libertarian Party Presidential candidate.
