President Chavez is cultivating Hollywood celebrities.
The Republicans look like suffering big losses in Congress: the conviction of an incumbent Senator on corruption charges is not helping their cause.
The “Joe the Plumber” fracas has not shown liberal America at its best, but some of the incidents have been downright creepy. Suggesting that the level of concern at hate-speech from the conservative fringe is not proportionate to the level of concern about more mainstream hate-speech from the other side.
Suggesting that, in Pennsylvania, voters are voting their anger, not their interest.
A journalist of 30 years experience looks at the amazing bias of the mainstream media this Presidential election and considers why. The US seems about to elect the least scrutinised Presidential candidate in decades. A journalist who has been covering the Obama campaign reports on how inaccessible Obama-the-person is.
Arguing that the prospect of an Obama win with a Democrat surge in Congress could lead to an historic shift in the entire direction of American public policy. The Obama campaign wants to lower expectations. Though Obama has been making lots of promises. Getting rather frantic at the thought that Obama might not win. (My prediction: Obama will win, though not quite as well as some seem to think, with about 320-350 Electoral College votes; McCain will do better than the Republican Party generally.)
Noting that the success of the Surge helped McCain become Republican candidate but has, if anything, undermined his Presidential candidacy. About rising US public confidence in success in Iraq and liberal reluctance to acknowledge success.
A former editor of Ms magazine finds Gov. Palin to be a smart, self-confident person. Gov. Palin inspires all sorts of campaign statements out there in voter land. Being alarmed at the level of animus.
