...late Sunday night, only a few cars remained on the highways in coastal Mississippi, but most people, like Aszlee Davis and her family, who traveled from New Orleans, had settled in for the evening. With her hotel door flung open, Davis relaxed on the balcony, enjoying the breeze as it occasionally gusted to a mild 15 mph. Still, she admitted she won't sleep much while waiting for Gustav - she plans to keep an eye on the latest news updates. "You just don't know where they'll go," she said. And so residents along the Gulf Coast watch...
...Capitol is a long flight away in Juneau. It's a perfectly Alaskan lake: still waters ringed by evergreens and saw-toothed peaks, staged beneath a wolf-colored sky. You can just make out Palin's house a stone's throw from the public launch at the Best Western Hotel, by the red and white floatplane on the small dock out front (the governor's husband is a pilot in addition to being an oil worker, commercial fisherman, prior Iron Dog snowmobile endurance race winner, and self-anointed "First Dude...

Yesterday, my mom booked my 70-something grandparents on flights to Dallas, where they'll stay with relatives. I reserved hotel rooms for my folks in Alabama in case they need them. My mom is a hard-core Barack Obama supporter who wants to hear him say at Denver's Invesco Field "We're going to rebuild New Orleans, at whatever cost, whatever it takes...
...Father and The Audacity of Hope-staying up after Michelle and his two young daughters had long gone to bed, reveling in the late night quiet. For this speech Obama removed himself from the distractions at home and spent many nights in a room in the Park Hyatt Hotel in Chicago. These late-night sessions produced long, meandering texts that were then circulated to a close group of advisers, including Axelrod and Obama's speechwriter Jon Favreau-a 27-year-old wunderkind wordsmith. "When you're working with Senator Obama the main player on a speech is Senator Obama," Axelrod...
