...week 7 million viewers tuned in to watch the ServiceNation Presidential Forum at Columbia University, which I co-moderated with PBS's Judy Woodruff. Time was a co-sponsor of the forum and the summit the following day, which included First Lady Laura Bush, Caroline Kennedy and Senators Hillary Clinton and Orrin Hatch. It was there that Senator Hatch announced his bipartisan national-service bill, co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy. I'm proud of TIME's continued leadership on this front, and I'm already looking forward to our third annual service issue next year...
...manager David Plouffe says, that "at the end of the day, this is going to come down to the choice: Do I want the McCain agenda or the Obama agenda?"

"They swing back and forth with every new piece of information." In the Democratic primaries, they came out in force for Hillary Clinton. Many say they wish Obama had put her on the ticket, but on the issues, they still tilt toward the Democrats. Given their worries about the direction of the country, their low regard for the current occupant of the White House and the fact that women voters normally trend more Democratic...
...conducted Sept. 11-15, shows Obama and McCain running a dead heat among women overall. But McCain holds an 18-point lead among older, less-educated likely women voters. "Frankly, it's because they are conflicted on Obama," says pollster Geoff Garin, who served as the chief strategist for Clinton's campaign in its final days. "They'd like to vote for a Democrat, but they are not sure Obama...
