...Klein claims there is little "moral equivalency" between McCain's brand of lying and Obama's, with the former's ranging anywhere from the "annoying to the sleazy." And Klein could think of only one instance when Obama crossed the line (though never calling it a lie), whereas McCain has turned it into an art form. Absent from the list of Obama's "lies" is his declaration that McCain actually is O.K. with the war in Iraq continuing for 100 years if need be. That pronouncement far exceeds any exaggerations from the McCain camp. The media's love affair with...

Some of the shine has come off Arapahoe since the days in the 1960s when a brand-new ranch house with a one-car garage was all a suburbanite could hope for. The more affluent left it behind over the years for wealthier counties like Douglas, which is where Eng's Republican opponent has set up his headquarters. To get to Mike Coffman's office in Highlands Ranch, you have to drive past mile after mile of McMansion developments with names like Berkshire Residences and soon-to-be-opened box stores that still have the plastic wrap...
...Given the country's current harsh view of the Bush Administration and Republicans in Congress, McCain could be doing far worse. Counted out for much of the summer, the campaign operation, under the leadership of Steve Schmidt, has managed to run consistently ahead of the Republican brand. The campaign's top brass, meanwhile, remains unapologetic about its risk-taking approach and undaunted by the odds. "We would have packed up the tent four months ago if we didn't like daunting challenges," says Mike Duhaime, the campaign's ground-operations chief. McCain, as well, has been unapologetic about the moves...
