...During his senior year of high school, Gaylor campaigned for local candidates as well as for McCain, who he supported in the primaries, by going door to door, distributing yard signs, attending fundraising events, and handing out brochures. The Floridian has kept up his efforts at Harvard, campaigning door to door in New Hampshire for McCain and phonebanking at the Massachusetts GOP headquarters in Boston...
...This time, with a Republican in the White House and change in high demand, Democrats are poised to benefit from a projected youth voter spike. Obama leads Republican John McCain by 26 percent among 18-to-24-year-olds, according to the most recent Institute of Politics survey—nearly double the lead Democratic challenger John Kerry held over George W.

...hour days. And then there's the legacy of the longest campaign in U.S. history: a stronger debate voice, a flag pin on his lapel and a tendency, picked up from Hillary Clinton, to relay some of the stories he's heard from struggling Americans.

For those of us who follow politics, it's difficult to imagine that, at this late date, a voter could learn anything dispositive about these two men. In fact, we know them a little too well. We know that Obama has a thing for nicotine and that McCain acted like a cad with his first wife. We know the Senators' tics and mannerisms, their preferred methods of verbal indirection, their expressions when they're angry or surprised...
