...Obama's performance in the first debate was Exhibit A. My first reaction was that Obama didn't make any mistakes, but he allowed McCain to attack him relentlessly without making an effective counterattack. I saw it as a toss-up, not a momentum changer; the public, however, saw it as a clear-cut Obama win. In retrospect, there were two reasons for this. The first became clear when I read the transcript: Obama was far more forceful on the page than he was on the screen. He just lambasted McCain quietly. A key moment was the Iraq question: McCain...
...Twisted Village Record Shop, the first thing that commands the eye is a patchwork array of decals along the walls and ceiling.

...September 3, Republican presidential candidate John McCain told ABC’s Charles Gibson that his running mate, Alaskan governor Sarah Palin, had foreign policy experience on the grounds that “Alaska is right next to Russia.” Governor Palin was given the opportunity to exhibit her Russia expertise last week during her first major interview, also with Mr. Gibson, since being tagged as McCain’s running mate. Although much attention remains devoted to the two wars launched by the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan, Russia has emerged this summer as a major...
