This is the first intelligent essay I have read in the mainstream media regarding Palin. I am a moderate Democrat but was very disappointed at the obvious partisan trashing of Governor Palin by so many of my fellow women. Their intemperate critiques fly in the face of the feminist principles they claim to uphold. Gibbs has the good sense to realize that the issues successful women face are the same regardless of political ideology. Jeanne Mallett, WASHINGTON...
...action finally came in the form of Senator Hollis French, the Anchorage Democrat who is leading the investigation into whether Governor Sarah Palin abused the power of her office to get her little sister's ex-husband, state trooper Mike Wooten, fired by pressuring - and then dismissing - Commissioner of Public Safety Walt Monegan.

After receiving a record 600 sign-ups already this year, the Harvard College Democrats are revving up for an active election season, which kicked off last night with an appearance by former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack at the club’s introductory meeting.

Ever since, McCain's campaign has been a series of snide and demeaning ads accompanied by the daily gush of untruths that have now been widely documented and exposed. The strategy is an obvious attempt to camouflage the current unpopularity of his Republican...
...moment, however, McCain seems to be winning them handily - which is a big reason for the growing nervousness among the Democratic rank and file. A new TIME poll, 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...
