...Articles by Joe Klein should carry the label: "Advertisement for Obama - Biden," or, better yet, "Ad against McCain - Palin." Klein's musings on Palin leave readers with the impression that she is a kook for whom only kooks or extremists would vote. I guess he believes that a majority of Alaskans fall into those categories. Such partisan writing is unbecoming to TIME and taints the dialogue that is necessary in an election campaign. Mordecai Berger, Melbourne...

...McCain camp - before its recent forays into the politics of umbrage and grievance - dismissed the ad furor as political correctness run amok. "Have a sense of humor," spokeswoman Nicole Wallace told me. For his part, Obama never accused McCain (or Biden, for that matter) of playing the race card. He wrote eloquently about race in his books, and he spoke eloquently about race during the Wright flap, but he's avoided the subject ever since the McCain campaign accused him of playing the race card, after he suggested that Republicans would try to remind voters that he doesn't look...
