Banking base voters early is now allowing the Obama campaign to focus its energy in the home stretch on independent and undecided voters.

During the '84 NC Senate race, one of Helms' top aides responsible for implementing a gay-bashing strategy was McCain advisor Charlie Black.

According to one of the actual police reports documenting the charade's unraveling, Ashley Todd says she can't remember whether she mutilated her own face, or had someone else do it.

In the wake of McCain-Palin visits to North Carolina, a string of election season crimes have occurred around the state involving violence, vandalism, and harassment.

Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.

In tonight's presidential debate, McCain said that Obama doesn't understand the difference between strategy and tactics. McCain is wrong.

If Obama can both reconnect his inspirational personal story to the American dream and create a counter-narrative of McCain selling his soul to the Rovian devil, he can take back control of the campaign narrative.
