...actual issues [Oct. 22]. The guide purported to instruct undecided voters, but it paid less attention to substantive policy issues than it did to the very political maneuvering that turns people away from political reporting. The piece provided inane details such as John Edwards' penchant for cheeseburgers and Mitt Romney's fondness for Lake Winnipesaukee. This trivia takes the place of information about such topics as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, economic uncertainties, labor strife and the lack of accessible health care. TIME should press the candidates on the issues, not engage in meaningless exercises far removed from...
...cited Mitt Romney's mormon faith as one of his liabilities. Interestingly, you cited neither Hillary Clinton's gender nor Barack Obama's race as a liability. Why is that?

...almost axiomatic in some circles - mostly notably the Romney campaign - that Giuliani cannot survive all the scrutiny that will come with being perceived, rightly or wrongly, as the G.O.P. front-runner. But that remains to be seen, and given a choice, most candidates would certainly prefer scrutiny to obscurity. Most of the other Republicans, after all, went unmentioned in Philadelphia, save for Sen. Barack Obama's sly (but no doubt rehearsed) aside at the end of the night that he might don a Mitt Romney mask for Halloween. "It has," he said, "two sides...
