In an interview with CBS’ Katie Couric Wednesday, Cindy McCain seemed surprised to learn that her husband John wants to see Roe v. Wade overturned. But as it turns out, the surprises hardly end there for the McCains when it comes to abortion and the 2008 Republican platform. By rejecting John McCain’s limited proposed [...]

The challenge for Barack Obama is to make himself acceptable enough to disgruntled voters eager to toss Republicans from the White House if they see a comfortable, competent alternative.

I LIVE IN WASHINGTON, in a neighborhood that is home to lawyers, political consultants, television personalities and the chief executive of the TIAA-CREF pension fund. Not exactly an abode of the superrich, but the kind of neighborhood where almost nobody does her own yardwork or vacuums his own floor. Children's birthday parties feature rented moon bounces or hired magicians. The local grocery stores...

The Obama camp wants Nov. 4 to be a referendum on the Bush presidency, the closest they can come to running against the incumbent. In such elections, challengers must persuade most voters to do two things: Be open to firing the incumbent and agree the challenger is acceptable. If they succeed at both, the incumbent — or in this case, presumably, his party — loses.

Via Political Wire : When Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) returns to work this week, "he can expect some arm-twisting from his Republican friends and the cold shoulder from some Democrats" for giving a speech at the Republican convention, CQ Politics reports.

I am really surprised that Obama has stated that the GOP is avoiding the issues and attacking him rather than dealing with the real problems at hand. Are you kidding me? Obama is out of the spotlight for two seconds and he comes back saying that Republicans are skirting the issues just to make him look bad. I will agree that Gov. Palin’s speech was quite the teaser when it came to Obama. Can you blame

The carefully GOP manipulated TV coverage of the RNC Wednesday night was an interesting sociological snapshot of the base of supporters physically present. You would have thought that some of the nationally known speakers - Meg Whitman, founder of that small little company E-Bay and Carly Fiorina, former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard were giving a speech to themselves inside a closet when talking
