...words of Senator Clinton herself: Let's pause for a reality check. Her campaign image of late reflects a regression to primitive tactics more than an evolution in intimacy. On the night before the New Hampshire primary, Clinton gave a chilling speech, mentioning al-Qaeda's interest in U.S. elections and implying that extremist groups would plan an attack based on whom primary voters nominated. Her rhetoric was eerily similar to that of President George W. Bush's on the eve of the 2006 midterm elections, when he declared that a victory for the Democrats who opposed his policy...

Taking the stage after speeches by big-name political supporters—including Governor Deval Patrick ’78, Senator John F. Kerry, and Senator Edward M.

A pickup with speakers affixed to the roof blasts a recording of Bhutto's last speech, the one she gave...

Obama possesses the unique perspective as a lifelong rationalist and recent convert to speak sincerely to all Americans...
...from the couch for another beer, you were certain to miss a key play or substitution. A new poll in California, for instance, that showed Romney pulling ahead. Or another press conference in which McCain called out his chief rival as a big spender without backbone. Or the stump speech at Georgia Tech, where Romney told everyone that McCain would collapse the "house that Reagan built." Or a supporter, like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who blurted out at a Nashville pancake place that Republican "bigwigs" were "lining up like lemmings" behind McCain. Or another endorsement. Or another television...
