While we understand that Barack Obama is a Democrat, we're encouraged by many of his policies that are conservative in the truest sense. There are some questions, though, that we'd like Senator Obama to answer.

But, at the end of the evening, I was left wanting something. The impossible something. I want that bell unrung and, if I could have written part of Hillary's speech, here's what she'd have said to us...

Joe Biden is already a pretty effective giant-killer, and he may just have killed another giant -- a giant bummer among Democratic partisans concerned about the backbone of their party.

In a piece coming this Sunday in The New York Times magazine, Matt Bai suggests that, despite recent gains in the polls, John McCain's charge that Bar...

Many journalists decided long ago that McCain is just different from other politicians. They declare McCain innocent of all sins associated with other members of his profession, no matter how often he commits them.

Basically the new site is much more blue, and the home page tools for getting organized were pushed way down the page. I poked around and don't see much else missing.

Forget everything you've heard and read. Whether it's Fox, MSNBC, NPR, the New York Times or the Huffington Post. Suburban Republicans, southern blacks, Army brats, believe me, you can't poll the stuff I've seen on the trail.

Thanks to outdated rules, Senate campaign finance information takes weeks, if not months, to reach the public after it is disclosed. Now it's time to change that.

Only the wildly hypocritical McCain could have escaped any blowback from the debauchery and female exploitation in Sturgis. And, as an act of collusion, the visual media totally blinked.

Honor is the cornerstone of the McCain campaign, but there is little honor in his campaign. We get sleazy attack ads. We get phony flip-flop policy positions. We get his nasty temper and ugly jokes.

John and Cindy McCain made roughly $6.5 million last year. Of that $6.5 million, $23,000 came from social security. That's right, the millionaire McCains draw steadily on a system he says is disgracefully broken.

Is America strong enough to handle the violent wishes of Jesse Jackson toward Barack Obama's pair? Probably -- last I checked, "nuts" wasn't one of George Carlin's 7 words.

When a major political figure or celebrity utters a newsmaking, off-color, remark it is always interesting to observe how different news outlets handle the offending word or words.

For too long, there has been an assumption that there's a Cracker Jack prize somewhere at this magical "center" -- that playing it safe nets you the fifty percent-plus-one you need to win.

James Poniewozik of TIME concludes, "Maybe we'll remember this election as the one when we stopped talking about 'the old media' and 'the new media' and, simply, met the press."

Matt Taibbi: "I think there was a lot of real anger there and I got caught up in that, I think unfairly because I'm not a misogynist, I'm a misanthrope."
