...poll indicating that many white voters who lack college degrees would not vote for Obama because he is too "globalized," too "multicultural," too "cosmopolitan." I have news for Beinart. Many of the emigrants from the U.S.S.R. who came to the U.S. in the '70s and '80s support John McCain. A lot of us have undergraduate or graduate degrees.

The troubleshooter, McCain, tends to approach energy by proposing immediate fixes: opening areas for drilling, now; building nuclear plants; reducing restrictions. While style...
...Including Barack Obama in a composite picture with Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt and fellow candidate John McCain implies that Obama is of the same stature as the others. He doesn't come close. McCain at least has a career of genuine accomplishments behind him. Specifically what has Obama accomplished that qualifies him to be President? William G.
