...animal issues? The Humane Society of the U.S. is rigidly non-partisan. I do hold a position with the Humane Society Legislative Fund, which is a separate organization with a separate board of directors. I think our biggest concern at the legislative fund is Sarah Palin's very hostile record toward animal protection. She was the leader in Alaska of a program that promoted aerial gunning of wolves and bears and that has really raised alarm bells with...
...Barack Obama, we have one of the most remarkably impressive political figures we've ever seen. But he's still a relative unknown. Has there really been a searching examination of his past? He doesn't have a long record to examine. Most of his time in the Senate he's been out running for President - something he's done very well, and that's a point in his favor. But I think there's been a decided lack of interest in [his record]. There were media outlets who barely touched the Rev. Wright example. And that was a compelling...
...right than some expected. A relatively unknown State legislator from Greensboro, Hagan beat four contenders in the primary with 60% of the vote after better known candidates declined to run or withdrew.

Hagan is considered liberal by North Carolina standards, and has hit Dole on her absence from the state...
...quorum. The group now has hundreds of members and has helped to register thousands of voters this cycle. While there's little chance of Obama carrying Yavapai County, the group hopes it can pull off a good enough showing that, when added to what Dems are hoping will be record turnout in big urban areas, especially in Pima County, the state might swing to Obama. "Then, I'd go out and buy a bigger sign," says Michael Cosentino, one of the three founders of the Verde Valley Democratic organization, "and put it up so that every time McCain comes home...
...Considering the record high levels of interest in this year's contest, the network that first declares the new President will find the achievement to be an even sweeter spot on its résumé. At the same time, any projection gaffe - sorry, McCain in fact lost Missouri - will be more difficult to live down. The stakes are high enough to give any seasoned election vet the jitters, and this year's expected high turnout could overwhelm the polling stations and complicate the process even more. "I'm always nervous," says Sheldon Gawiser, director of elections for NBC News...
