Across town is the East Side, an affluent web of hillside communities that house executives from Macy's, Procter & Gamble and the seven other FORTUNE 500 companies that are based in Cincinnati...
...Seven years ago, as Brokaw pointed out, McCain himself was sounding redistributionist, complaining about President Bush's tax cuts.

Research done afterwards suggested that significant numbers of people who voted Conservative felt, in the last few days, that Kinnock could not be trusted but had been too ashamed to tell pollsters. The Obama campaign is no doubt aware of this historical lesson...
