...sometimes, 'He seems pretty calm,'" Obama told a star-studded audience at the Streisand fund raiser. "The reason I am calm is, I have confidence in the American people." Yes, McCain recently adopted the mantra of "change" as well, easing away from "experience" after putting Sarah Palin on the ticket, but Obama sees that as proof that the election will be fought on his turf. His campaign will make adjustments--including a sharper focus on women voters, as well as harsher attacks by running mate Joe Biden and through television advertisements--but Obama's overriding message will still...
...used his eloquence and barnstorming bravado to blaze a trail for 21st century third-party politics. He was a candidate for state and national office, making three gubernatorial runs in California as a Green, and in the 2004 presidential election, he was my running mate on our independent ticket. Among the many causes Peter championed were a living wage, health care for all and making the U.S. the world leader in renewable energy.

Given their worries about the direction of the country, their low regard for the current occupant of the White House and the fact that women voters normally trend more Democratic than men do, Obama has some reason to believe he should...
...Meanwhile, McCain's surprising pick of a hockey-mom governor to share his ticket has grabbed maxed-out moms' attention. "They see their lives reflected in hers," says a top McCain strategist. "She is a person who leads a life they lead." In the TIME poll, 68% of older, non-college-educated women expressed a favorable opinion of her. "I do like Palin. I think she's going to win the election for McCain," says Kim Kalin, 49, a supervisor at a small manufacturing plant, who lives in Sterling Heights, Mich. But for other women, Palin has only added...
