This type of insulting nonsense will not go unnoticed or unchallenged by the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who've fought in both McCain's war in Iraq, and in the other war in Afghanistan.

Both candidates are embracing, rather than challenging, the fundamental irrationality of Bush's "war on terror," which substitutes hysteria for rational analysis in appraising the dangers the country faces.

McCain is being squeezed on both sides in his home state. Obama now leads there by 3 points in a new statewide poll. The poll also shows Bob Barr garnering 16 percent among "very conservative" voters.

Obama's recent NORAD tour and renewed call for national service evoked further evidence that he has passed an important milestone in his campaign: passing the NORAD Test for presidential candidates.

Dear Senators McCain and Obama, I am writing to seek your support for a bipartisan effort to restore the federal government's ability to faithfully execute the laws.

So what would happen if the Electoral College tied? Well, it goes to the House of Representatives. And since the Democrats have an advantage in the House, you'd think "President Obama." But you'd be wrong.

Obama's army goes deep behind enemy lines in the West. He and Dean are determined to compete in red states as a matter of strategy, forcing McCain to spend money and resources on his own turf.

For a significant portion of the mainstream media and blogosphere, the woman could have stood on her head and pledged undying love for Obama, and the reaction would have been the same.

We're talking McCain's home state of 30 years-- there must be events, I thought, a troupe of highly motivated supporters making battle plans? But No, McCain HQ in Virginia told me there was absolutely nothing happening in Arizona.

Kennedy's death came when the world was on the cusp of transformation -- between authoritarian societies and social and political justice. Much of that change was stalled in the US for decades to come.

I can't listen to another pundit imploring that Clinton "needs time" or that she needs to go through the stages of grief or that she needs to be allowed to come to terms with her loss. This primary, this election, this year is not about Hillary Clinton.

Bush and McCain moved their event in the presumptive Republican nominee's hometown to a smaller venue, afraid protesters would outnumber guests. Meantime, Michelle packed a convention room around the corner.

Sunday's California DNC meeting made it clear that both the Clinton and Obama campaigns are ready to turn their swords into plowshares behind the impending nomination of Obama.

The problem with Clinton's campaign techniques is not just that they're Rovian, and reminiscent of earlier Republican smears against other candidates. It's that they're pointless.

Obama has created a number of significant infrastructure pieces through his campaign, displacing traditional groups the way he promised he would by signaling the end of the old politics of division and partisanship.

The White House. The Oval Office. The Pentagon. Why can't Americans think of more creative, more majestic sounding names for the nation's great buildings?

The real legacy of the 1968 turmoil was the idea that young people and students had the obligation to challenge authority, to question assumptions... and could succeed.
