...Unlike Limbaugh and other Republican chatterers, Moore is quick to criticize his own party for perceived failures; he's less a Democrat than a populist-leftie. Many Democrats, like Cubs fans, are understandably exasperated by the Blue team's string of losses and lame campaigns. Even when things are looking positive, Moore always seems to expect a Steve Bartman moment. On the book's cover, he raises the question "How many Democrats does it take to lose the most winnable election in American history?" And in the book's "Ask Mike!" section, he addresses this poser: "Is it true Democrats...
...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.

Presidential candidates or their running mates from either party have rarely stopped in Indiana this close to Election Day, because they had little reason to. The Republican bastion hasn't voted for a Democrat since LBJ in 1964. So the very fact that the McCain campaign felt it had to dispatch Palin to rally its base showed just how vulnerable the GOP is this year. "Everything is showing this thing is absolutely in a dead heat, and suddenly, Indiana makes a difference," says...
