It's really mind-boggling that the B team running the McCain operation is ceding such a massive on-the-ground strategic advantage to the Obama campaign.
Mark Nickolas | Posted 08.08.2008 | Politics
Considering that McCain continues to trail significantly, it's hard to see his path to victory when he's so out-gunned on the ground and running such a nonsensical strategy of which states to target or defend.

The malicious and wildly distorted attack on Martin Heinrich comes as the GOP tries easing his hapless opponent Darren White, out of the race to make way for Heather Wilson, a notorious Big Oil shill.

It is McCain who needs to score exceptionally well among white voters, better in fact than any other Republican presidential candidate in the past 20 years, including George H. W. Bush.

Millions of kids growing up with the stigma of a criminal parent; they are often profoundly affected. But programs are cropping up to help both the criminal and the child see that the future is worth planning for.

"I want an innovator in office. People stop dreaming when they start to think it's improbable or impractical. Well everything goes on what presidents say, if you have an idea, it can become reality."

McCain's California supporters swear the Golden State is in play, yet skipped an opportunity to register 18,000 new citizens at the L.A. Convention Center. Obama's minions, of course, were out in force.

Politically ignored for decades and now seriously organized as a result, Native American voters have become the swing constituency in one of the most politically volatile states in the country.

The once-reluctant Navajo Nation is finally joining the ranks of the other 225 tribes in America and will open their first casino in October. They project an income of $32 million in the first year.

With over 38,000 registered voters, the residents of Navajo Nation in the southwest are being courted by McCain and Obama. After 140 years, said one man, "a minority president might change things."

We drove northward toward Navajo Lake with Dad in his biodegradable resting place in the back seat. We were bound and determined to make it a celebration, but at times tears flowed.

McCain's energy policy emphasizes nuclear power and the uranium market is booming as a result. But in the south west, people are still cleaning their land of the radioactive waste from long-shut mines.

The Democrats have a shot at capturing the four Congressional seats open in the state, and since it's one of the few pure toss-ups at the top of the ticket, voters expect to see much of McCain and Obama.
Paul Abrams | Posted 05.23.2008 | Politics
History tells us that few people vote for a ticket because of the vice-presidential candidate. However, Bill Richardson could change the electoral map -- now, and for two generations.
