When it comes to Obama, too many Jews are buying into the same sort of blood libel and belligerent ignorance that has tormented our people throughout history.
When pundits make hyperventilating claims about Obama's alleged campaign appeasement, it is vital to note that Obama has played this game before. Those who are calling for an all-out assault against McCain have short memories.
The huge variability between different states makes it very hard for any candidate to run on a coherent economic platform that has national appeal.
Racism is the bully in the schoolyard of American politics and culture. One does not overcome a bully by ignoring it but, rather, by confronting it and exposing it for what it is.
History doesn't just repeat itself. For Democrats it's more like a broken record. Once again the party's blowing a healthy lead by being reluctant to engage its opponent.
On the air I want the sort of Viagra-fueled maniacs conservatives have on the front lines, not a bunch of impotent lefties who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
The Dark Knight ends up in much the same place we finds ourselves today. Bereft of a clearcut hero. Having narrowly survived a assault against our essential selves. And wondering what comes next.
As the reporter who first revealed Biden's filching of Robert F. Kennedy's words, I hereby declare that the statute of limitations on those transgressions has expired.
In 1980 Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter by asking America "are you better off than you were 4 years ago?" Can't Obama just ask the same thing?
The "Evan Bayh will be Vice-President" meme is running rampant here in Indiana with more and more tips and leaks and rumors spreading like wildfire.
If the campaign doesn't want to offend powerful superdelegates during the convention, fine. But then the safer course is to push this change after November and without a commission.
I can just see McCain now with that creepy grin saying: "The Democrats had a royal battle over whether to pick a woman or an African American. We've got both."
So what's going to go wrong at the ballot box this year? What ever happened to those good ol' punch cards and Diebold electronic voting machines?
The four little girls from Birmingham were taken from us before they had a chance to witness a better America. But next week in Denver, their spirits will be very much alive.
Thanks to the new GI Bill, hundreds of thousands of troops sitting in Humvees and walking the streets of Iraq can afford to dream bigger dreams.

My God how could anyone vote for a man who was head of the thievery of the Keating Five and tries to play on being a POW hell thousands have been POW'S and they don't feel any different than the next guy !!
MCCAIN take your BAG of DEPENDS and go home to one of your mansions and get the hell out off TV so we don't have to listen or look at you "JERK" !!!
This article's viewpoint is getting slammed.... too far out there in boldness to conceivably be bought by the general public... if folks were that courageous, wouldn't they have abandoned McCain's old Rove rehased crap a long time ago? No, bold is not it.. .and probably all those advisors coming over from Clinton were not helpful... don't worry, Obama will come through.... somehow, somewhere, the true McCain will be flashed before the eyes of the public... in clear sight so he can't hide behind the hero worship he expects to cover all his ineptitudes.
and that is also a great point! I dont get why people are still voting republican. They have had 6 yrs to overturn abortion, allow more offshore drilling and find bin laden. O not mentioned win a war and they have NOT. But yet the polls are what they are. I dont get it!
Kerry would have won had he call Bush a coward and dared him to do something about it during their debates. American people are yahoos who follow the insulter, not the insultee. You've got to make the other side play defense, you must ridicule with cruelty, and if a man, you must unman them. Obama must enlist POWs to scuttle that aspect of McCain's resume. They're out there.
He should join DOnna Summer and both start singing " Last Dance" and use the same music and change it for " Last Chance" actually, he had a chance a long time before, now I doubt it.
Of what help is a policy proposal that is not politically plausible? A plan must be politically plausible or it will never be implemented.
