On points, it was a slam-dunk. In context, it was a narrow win. But it was still a win. If Palin committed some clear, unspinnable, oh-my-god-I-can't-believe-she-said-that gaffe, then this election...

This was really supposed to be McCain's debate. It wasn't. Obama was presidential, confident, assertive -- repeatedly addressing McCain directly while McCain did his fakey smiles and avoided eye con...

I don't think so. If the National Enquirer story pans out, maybe. But I think that the admission of failure inherent in her leaving would be too damaging, especially this close to the election. McC...

Education should have a higher priority in the federal budget than military spending.

I'm bad at taking stands in general because my answer is most often "well, it depends..." I think, for example, that it's important for the military to be adequately funded as we finish things up (ho...

Sarah Palin was not a good choice for John McCain's vice presidential candidate.

Oh. My. Goodness. I still can't quite believe this one. It seems that McCain made this decision quickly and rashly, and that she was not sufficiently vetted. I think that will harm him on two fro...

Michelle Obama dresses better than Cindy McCain.

This is an issue?! Missed it entirely. Well, I'd have to say Michelle. Cindy's style is OK but nothing really stands out. Michelle's clothes -- and general style -- are more generally "wow!"

I've been hoping for Joe as VP for a good long time. He's a witty attack dog, he's the sage elder at the young gun's right hand, he's got working-class ties, he's the poorest sitting senator, (all th...

I am SO sad about this whole darn thing. Plenty of blame to go around. But I think Brett's best hope to go out on a high note was if he remained with the Packers. I can't see things really gelling ...

The New Yorker cover featuring Barack and Michelle Obama is effective satire.

It wasn't FABULOUS, it wasn't a home run, but I think it emphasized the ridiculousness of the smears pretty well. The problem is that it's hard to effectively satirize something that's already so ove...

She's fab. She's smart, she's warm, she's funny. (I've met her!) She's a good balance for her husband -- it's really, really difficult to call her elitist, for example. I think that if she is atta...

I never really liked this wording and I'm still not sure if I "get" it. I don't think she's purposely maiming Obama so she can run against McCain in 2008. I think there is something more complex at ...
