...would confuse ABC's The View with a serious news program. First, because when former President Bill Clinton appeared on the show on Sept. 22, the five-woman panel began the hour by discussing the merits of pantsuits vs. skirts. Second, because the NewsHour probably does not employ a staffer who, as View panelist Sherri Shepherd said on air, does not know whether the earth is flat. And finally, because when Joy Behar questioned John McCain on a Sept. 12 episode about campaign ads of his that she believed were lying, she used the word...
...View tends to get tossed into the category of "soft" media. But that raises the question, When The View gives an increasingly press-shy candidate his toughest interview in a while, when it and David Letterman prod the scars of the Democratic primary in interviews with Clinton, when pundits debate the fairness of Us Weekly covers and when Saturday Night Live crystallizes the discussion of sexism and vice-presidential choices, what's so soft about them...
...campaign can register enough new voters in the Peach State - and it has already registered more than 300,000 in Georgia - then it believes that the state could still be in play, since former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr's libertarian candidacy could steal some of the Republican vote. Bill Clinton won Georgia in 1992 after Ross Perot drew a significant number of votes from George H.W. Bush. But for Obama to pull off a similar coup, he would need an increase in Democratic voters of at least 15% from 2004 - a whopping number that, even with an unprecedented 30 offices...
...attempt to find an honest reason for McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his Vice President, such as his "rebelliousness" or his devotion to the issue of abortion [Sept. 15]. However, Palin was chosen for only one reason: to get votes. McCain seems to think that Hillary Clinton supporters will support Palin's ultraconservative agenda just because of her gender. By choosing Palin over a more experienced or knowledgeable candidate, he has made it clear that he cares only about winning the election and does not have the best interests of the country in mind.

...indeed, one reason for Clinton's comeback victory in New Hampshire was that her campaign had focused on nailing down early votes via mail-in ballots before Iowans even gathered at caucuses to make Obama their winner. Depending on your view, Oregon is either the ideal or the dangerous conclusion of the early-voting trend: in 1998 the state eliminated voting booths altogether and switched over to a 100% vote-by-mail system. Because ballots must be received, not just postmarked, by Election Day, most Oregonians make their decisions and send off their ballots long before those last few days...
