...Joe Klein claims there is little "moral equivalency" between McCain's brand of lying and Obama's, with the former's ranging anywhere from the "annoying to the sleazy" [Sept. 29]. And Klein could think of only one instance when Obama crossed the line (though never calling it a lie), whereas McCain has turned it into an art form. Absent from the list of Obama's "lies" is his declaration that McCain actually is O.K. with the war in Iraq continuing for 100 years if need be.

Fueled by stronger polling numbers, Obama has won back his most important advantage: he now has more plausible ways to win 270 electoral votes than does McCain...
...summer. And one of the McCain ads in heavy rotation lately embraces the use of "clean coal" and tied the issue to the economy. "For Coloradans, coal means thousands of jobs. Economic growth. More affordable electricity," intones the announcer. "But Obama-Biden and their liberal allies oppose clean coal." (Joe Biden was critical of coal plants at a Colorado campaign event, but Obama's energy plan does include clean coal...
