...dustup by questioning whether McCain's years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam give him Commander in Chief credentials. It's a big trans--continental nation, but Obama's campaign intends to use volunteers to help turn out voters on Election Day as if he were running for mayor. It takes money and planning to harness all the energy Democrats are displaying these days, and Obama has both. Discouraging for Republicans: the absence of a massive, aggressive organization to mobilize their forces, as George W. Bush had in 2000 and 2004.

They have been dragged from their homes in the middle of the night and strangled while their children watched. The wife of a newly elected mayor was so badly beaten that her own brother only recognized her by the skirt she wore on the day she was killed.
