As scattered as the week has been now that all of the major campaign milestones have come and gone, turning the tables on John McCarthy, erm, McCain's criticism of Barack Obama this week has been the one thread in our inbox.

Beneath this "controversy" over Palin's expensive wardrobe is a troubling fact: when it comes to judging female politicians, we are still a deeply sexist culture.

Robocalls fail in three areas that are crucial for any direct response campaign: they are intrusive, they are impersonal and they offer no incentive for voters to listen all the way to the end of the message.

In an ever diminishing television world, Maddow has taken a large chunk out of the millennial generation and thrust them back in front of the tube. The combination of her intelligent approach and the most exciting presidential campaign in generations has produced a phenomenom.
