...many as eight seats, which would mean they would need no more than a single GOP vote or so to prevail on any given issue. That would also give them the cushion to do the one thing that many of them have been itching to do most: kick Joe Lieberman out of their caucus and strip him of his committee chairmanship for supporting John McCain...
...Presidential race was the subject of a fascinating media conference Oct. 13-14 presented by Time Warner and co-hosted by TIME and CNN. A series of roundtables probed everything from political advertising and polling to the role of media. The event featured names such as TIME's Joe Klein, Romesh Ratnesar, Mark Halperin and Karen Tumulty and CNN's Campbell Brown, Christiane Amanpour and Wolf Blitzer--as well as dozens of other heavyweights from the worlds of media and politics, including Vanity Fair editor in chief Graydon Carter, New York Times columnist Frank Rich, former ambassador Richard Holbrooke...

Senator Obama wants government to do the job. He wants government to do the job. I want you, Joe, to do the job," referring to a plumber Barack Obama had met on the campaign trail. The job, in this case, was finding health insurance. And in years past, McCain would have had the better of this argument - it is the classic division between liberals and conservatives. But 2008 has proved...
