...thankful that women across America did not fall for the McCain campaign’s gender-politics pandering, but I also hope that the country will give women another chance at the presidency. As this nation moves into a new era with an African-American man in the presidency, let us not remember Sarah Palin as the folksy “woman candidate,” but rather as a maverickly mistake. After all, women are relatively new to presidential campaigns and thus are still looking for the right tone to strike—a way, perhaps, to transcend their...

They sit down with their laptops, McCain-Palin buttons, and cold pizza, hoping for a major upset. The sounds of cheering Obama fans...
Certainly Crist isn't happy about John McCain's loss in Florida, especially since he endorsed McCain in the state's primary. But when Crist convenes the Republican Governors Association conference on Wednesday, which is being held in Miami this year, he won't be quite the damaged political goods that many McCain supporters are trying to paint him as. In fact, Crist and other bipartisan Republican governors may well be the model for how the GOP should rebuild itself after the crippling losses of both 2006 and 2008.
