...Obama, though, is doing his best to catch up. The campaign had limited his push to radio voter registration appeals, but that changed this week when it unveiled three new tv ads: a 60-second biography spot and two 30-second issue ads; Clinton also got her first TV spot on the air Tuesday. Obama's campaign also announced Monday that he will do a six-day bus tour across the state next week. If phase one was bare-boned voter registration, phase two, get-out-the-vote, is kicking into high gear, with a focus on the relatively intimate...
...Knock Nader! I had to chuckle at Joel Stein's essay in which he argued that Ralph Nader should apologize for running for President in 2000 [March 10]. Stein and the Democrats don't understand the Nader voter. I voted for him because I didn't feel the Democrats deserved my vote.

The party should stop complaining about Nader and try to earn my vote...
...Shell's photograph of Obama captured a frightening reality of his campaign. Obama sits confidently consumed in his work, his feet resting atop the table. One imagines he's pondering new considerations for health care, reading aides' suggestions for education reform or reflecting on the commonalities of the American voter. But a closer look shows a copy of his best seller, The Audacity of Hope, at his heels. Why the need to have a book he wrote so close by? He had better broaden his horizons and begin researching beyond his own 2002 "hope" catchphrase, or he will choke...
RIGGED AGAIN? Mugabe is accused of fixing his last election, in 2005; this time, he has barred U.S. and European monitors and has limited media access amid reports of corrupt voter registration, gerrymandering and threats of violence against the opposition...
...Most commentators agreed that Sunday's result was largely motivated by voter unhappiness with Sarkozy, whose approval ratings have falling to 37% from 67% just 8 months ago. Yet there are also renewed signs that anger was sparked more by Sarkozy's flashy, arrogant style, and not with the policies he and his government have applied. Indeed, new polls show 58% wanting Sarkozy to adopt the more sober, distant profile traditional of French Presidents. At the same time, however, 67% said they want him to continue applying the reform platform he was elected on prompting the right-wing daily...
