...filled. "It is getting harder and harder to find good suicide bombers," he laments. "All the good ones are gone." The group could use a good recruitment video - but who would direct it? "We need someone who really, really hates America." Cut to Malone (Kevin Farley, brother of the late Chris), who's shooting a health-care documentary - obviously Moore's Sicko - in Cuba. He's thrilled to be in an island paradise. The locals, not so much: they fight to get on the boat taking Malone back to the U.S., where a critics' group gives him the coveted Leni...

...contrast, is notably weak, a sign of how the GOP has long taken Indiana for granted. It hasn't opened a single campaign office, and the Indiana Republican Party's local offices are managing McCain's outreach efforts. Republicans spent an estimated $336,000 on television ads between in late October. "You can't turn on the TV without seeing Barack Obama," observed Tami Meisler, a 37-year-old medical technician who waited four hours in near-freezing temperatures to get a seat inside the Coliseum here. In recent weeks, the Republicans have been relying on Palin visits to draw...
