...morning, Holton joined what the Kaine campaign called a "family hike" at a state park on the Virginia-Kentucky border, where the overlooks offered spectacular pageants of fall foliage. Kaine, a lawyer and former Richmond Mayor, has tied himself to his running mate from 2001, Gov. Mark Warner, a Democrat whose approval rating in the state is about 70 to 75 percent. Bush's is in the low- to mid-40s. So Kaine's communications director, Mo Elleithee, can slyly say that the Democrats welcome Bush to Virginia. "Do you want someone who's going to govern like Mark Warner...
...York City Mayor's race: The incumbent Republican, Michael Bloomberg, is running 30 points ahead of Democrat Fernando Ferrer.

...fact that so many in the legal community, on both sides of the political aisle, laud Alito as a serious, fair legal thinker not given to overarching theories or ideological tantrums is bad enough for the Democrats.

(The couple have two children...
...made clear, we’re not dealing with politics as usual this time around. Unlike the last campaign, in which President Bartlet squared off against obviously reprehensible Republican rival Ritchie, this campaign’s a bit more ambiguous. Don’t get me wrong, Democratic candidate Santos (Jimmy Smits) is great (you’ve gotta love those sweet close ups of hunky Jimmy spouting liberal ideology as the music crescendos in the background). The problem is those damn Republicans! Opposition candidate Vinick (Alan Alda), batting for the red team, is just too appealing to hate...
