McCain has guaranteed he would win the election. It's understandable why he may think victory is still within his grasp. Republicans have proven most adept at winning elections by following a simple formula.

Brolin's performance is certainly worthy of an Oscar, and his mastery of Bush's body language and speech pattern is remarkable. It is worth seeing the film for that alone.

A government that makes peace more profitable than war is one that provides the leadership needed to move us from a state of continual peril.

Bush held the lead in 22 out of 25 polls going into election day in 2004. Those leads, which averaged 2.23% for Bush, very closely mirrored the final election outcome: a 2.45% margin.

It looks like the system needs a laxative to flush out the excesses and the power of groups who drove us where we are -- on the edge of a cliff.

The Bush presidency, a failure on numerous levels, has enraged the electorate so much that a door has opened and we are now at the threshold of an earth shattering change in American politics.

If he wins, Obama will have the global popularity that no American president has had in a great many years.

McCain's penchant for self-criticism extends to the end of his first marriage. He left his first wife Carol, and quickly started seeing Cindy. Yet McCain has said that was his worst moral failure.

Bush represented the end of an era; women like me represented the beginning of a new one. I stepped onto the Yale campus only months after Bush left it.

Before George Bush, would his party have ever considered putting a religious wack job like Sarah Palin on its presidential ticket? No way.
