...campaigned for Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election, and John Kerry, as the anti-Bush, in 2004. This time you're backing Obama, and you did it early, in April of this year. Does it feel weird to support someone who might actually...
Whether or not John McCain pulls off a comeback, conservatives will suffer a loss on Nov. 4. Brit Hume, the managing editor of FOX News Channel's Washington, D.C. bureau and the anchor of the network's "Special Report," will step down from those duties after the election.

"Florida," Gore warned, "can once again decide the outcome...
...That's because internal Democratic polling in Indiana now indicates that Obama could have a shot at winning a state that only a few months ago seemed like a safe and easy victory for John McCain. The same could be said for Virginia and North Carolina, two other states where Obama is scheduled to stump before heading home to Chicago for an election-night rally that some are predicting could draw as many as a million people...
