John McCain accomplished a rare feat for a Republican candidate Friday, packing a 12,000-seat basketball stadium with cheering supporters dancing to rock music and waving glow sticks. And in selecting Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate, he chose someone who energized the dissolute Republican Party's activist base, and has already helped convince former foes like Focus on The Family's James Dobson to vote for McCain. But perhaps most importantly, McCain's bold move transformed the campaign of a 72-year-old white man into a potential cause-celeb for independent women, who will play...

When Barack Obama chose Joe Biden as his running mate, he surely had Scranton, Pennsylvania, on his mind. Biden, Delaware's senior Senator, was born in this former coal-mining town two hours north of Philadelphia - a point made countless times during his anointment as the Democratic Party's Vice Presidential candidate. To win the crucial swing state, Obama needs help in towns like Scranton, where Hillary Clinton won 74% of the vote in the Democratic primary and where many are still offended by Obama's remarks about "bitter" small town Pennsylvania voters...
