...Articles by Joe Klein should carry the label: "Advertisement for Obama - Biden," or, better yet, "Ad against McCain - Palin." Klein's musings on Palin leave readers with the impression that she is a kook for whom only kooks or extremists would vote. I guess he believes that a majority of Alaskans fall into those categories. Such partisan writing is unbecoming to TIME and taints the dialogue that is necessary in an election campaign. Mordecai Berger, Melbourne...
...change" as well, easing away from "experience" after putting Sarah Palin on the ticket, but Obama sees that as proof that the election will be fought on his turf. His campaign will make adjustments--including a sharper focus on women voters, as well as harsher attacks by running mate Joe Biden and through television advertisements--but Obama's overriding message will still be a version of lipstick-on-a-pig: the 72-year-old Republican who supports Bush's foreign policies and economic policies is not the guy who's really bringing change.

...Joe Biden was no better in his coarse challenge to Republicans who promise to help parents of children "born with a birth defect." "Well, guess what, folks?" he said. "If you care about it, why don't you support stem-cell research?" Well, they do; just not all the forms that he supports. You can argue that embryo research should proceed anyway; you can argue about where federal funds should go, or whether embryos should be created specifically to experiment on them. But no one is served when politicians blur their positions or distort their opponents' or pretend the issue...
