With typical restraint, China to air 50-part BRUCE LEE biography...
...seen in historical perspective, the McCain campaign's strategy against Obama is actually kind of shocking. For years, the recipe for injecting race into a political campaign has been clear. First, invoke the specter of black crime, as Lee Atwater did in 1988 when he vowed to turn murderer Willie Horton into Michael Dukakis' "running mate." Second, attack lazy people in the inner city, as Ronald Reagan did in 1976 when he condemned a Chicago "welfare queen." Third, bash affirmative action, as the late North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms did in 1990 when he ran an ad showing white hands...

Upstate New York and the rest of the Rust Belt has been hit particularly hard by the economic downturn, with the region still reeling...
...Lee has tried to turn the tables on Kryzan, painting her as a liberal candidate who would raise taxes. And she is not immune to anti-corporate attacks. Some of the harshest criticism Kryzan faced in the primary season was for working as a lawyer for the chemical company responsible for the Love Canal disaster of the late 1970s and early 1980s in Niagara Falls. The candidates are set to debate a few times before Election Day, and the negativity will surely be on display. Kryzan is used to the harsh tone from the primary season, but this time...
