...Inside-the-beltway representatives had better straighten up. With this kind of leadership, who needs Congress? Joe Myers, Mesa, Arizona...
...Campaign At last, someone is smart enough to address publicly the nastiness of the McCain campaign. Joe Klein has spelled it out exactly as it is [Sept. 29]. I cannot help wondering if his age and melanoma history have caught up with this man, resulting in a certain volatility in his behavior - on top of the craven politics of his party and the current Administration. If he is elected, we will not have four more years of the Bush Doctrine, but four more years of Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Donald Rumsfeld rolled into one. Mary Helen Haskell, Bloomington...
...Campaigning for Obama? In "The Lying Game," Joe Klein deployed his facts selectively to argue that Senator John McCain is running a dishonest campaign [Sept. 29]. Wow - so Barack Obama hasn't told any lies? Klein then predicted that things would change in the debates, since "it isn't easy to tell lies when your opponent is standing right next to you." Oops!

That pronouncement far exceeds any exaggerations from the McCain camp. The media...
Countering a charge that upper-class tax increases would hurt the economy, Joe Biden launched like a mad bus driver into a breathless verbal tour of his hometown, beginning with Union Street and a mom-and-pop restaurant, accelerating through all the stops—the current administration, taxes, Iraq, education, health care—taking a slight detour to note his (working-class, blue-collar) predilection for Home Depot, and wheezing back into the station with a promise of change from Obama. To viewers at home, Biden’s brief but intimate portrait seemed to say much more...
