...vulnerabilities, and she knows how to poke them. When McCain sprang his surprise choice on the public, the initial analysis held that by putting the rookie Governor of Alaska on the ticket he had erased the issue of experience. But like a lot of early thinking, that was wrong. Palin put the experience issue front and center, because suddenly America was seriously weighing the relative qualifications of the Democratic nominee versus the recent mayor of Wasilla. That's a comparison Obama loses simply by being involved...
Joel Stein's wisecrack about Smith College and field hockey was a cheap shot either at women's colleges, sexual preference or the sport [Sept. 1]. It wasn't funny. It was also wrong. Field hockey is largely a male sport internationally, and if Stein had tuned in to any of the Olympic matches, he would have seen jaw-dropping displays of athleticism and speed. Stein should have gone after beach volleyball. Elizabeth Hoffman, HUMMELSTOWN...

As U.S. air strikes doubled from 2006 to 2007, the number of accidental civilian deaths soared, from 116 to 321, according to Marc Garlasco, a former Pentagon targeting chief who tabulates civilian casualties for Human Rights Watch (HRW), an independent research group. By his count, the death toll among civilians so far this year is approaching...
...suburban voters that Obama needs to win over. From an inauguration that was celebrated with official "club crawls" to reported stripper parties at the official mansion that sparked the initial probe into his case, the mayor who wore flashy suits and a diamond in his ear has courted the wrong kind of attention. The danger to Obama's campaign is that years of salacious headlines about a young black man in power will bleed into voters' views of his own groundbreaking candidacy. "Michigan is really close. He has to go if we're going to have any chance at winning...
