...advice to Obama: "We need you to be a candidate who will fight back every time they attack you. Actually, don't even wait 'til you have to fight back ... Let's finally have a Democrat who's got the balls to fire first." In other words, Barack should be more like Mike. Yet the Democratic candidate has remained cool, seemingly impervious to rough charges from his opponents. It's John McCain who's been firing early and often. Tuesday's results will show which tactic...
...going to blame the Jews. Orthodox Jews like my parents are an often overlooked demographic, even for organizations like The Great Schlep. Nevertheless, their objections to an Obama administration are forceful—if not valid—and should be taken into account by Jews planning to vote Democrat today...
...major fight. "I don't think there is anything that is visible at this time that we can anticipate would be materially contestable," says Barry Richard, the Tallahassee attorney who represented Bush during the 2000 recount but isn't representing any side this time. (Richard, ironically, is a lifelong Democrat who is voting for Obama.) "Florida could be close," he adds, "[but] it doesn't look like it's all going to rest on a single state.

Until recently, it was hard to imagine Yavapai, an old blue collar farming and mill town that used to supply the nearby copper mines, ever voting...
...folks like Anderson, who retired here from Colorado eight years ago. With construction now at a virtual standstill, the county - much like Phoenix - has been one of the areas worst hit by the economic crisis and housing bust. Last year, Prescott, the largest town in Yavapai, elected its first Democratic mayor ever. Governor Janet Napolitano, a Democrat, lost Yavapai by 5,000 votes when she was first elected in 2000 but won it by 10,500 in 2006. And the area's congressional seat - being vacated by Republican Rick Renzi, who is under indictment for extortion, money-laundering and wire...
