...like to thank Alice Park and the folks at TIME for the article on Dara Torres. As a 40-year-old father of three young ones, I have long taken pride in my training and strength. I invested a lot of time in trail-running and martial arts. However, this past November I underwent neurosurgery to remove a tumor from my spinal cord. I now need a cane to walk and have lost dexterity in my right arm. Not only will women be cheering for Dara, but us "older" guys will be stomping our canes for her as well. Robert...
...example, who helped create the straight-talk candidate eight years ago, called the new strategy "childish" and worried that it "diminishes John McCain." McCain's advisers have tried to alleviate that concern by keeping the attacks light and funny while coaching their candidate to have fun on the trail. Several days after the Paris Hilton spot, the campaign released another online video that mockingly compared Obama to Charlton Heston's Hollywood depiction of a Biblical Moses.

She is set to hit the campaign trail on his behalf, starting with rallies and voter-registration drives this month in Nevada and Florida. "I'm doing all I know to do," she insists...
...nasty campaign. In recent days, McCain has hammered Obama for his opposition to offshore drilling and his support of alternative conservation measures like inflating tires, while Obama has countered with attacks painting the Arizona Republican as a puppet of Big Oil. But both in Congress and on the campaign trail, the fight has turned into little more than a sound-and-light show, full of heated rhetoric but offering little chance for meaningful action, at least before it's clear who will be the next man in the White House...
