Decision Making, Failure and Leadership.
John McCain has been quite the sight for a few weeks now. From the decision to throw his experience argument out the window to pick an, at best, under qualified Governor as his running mate to his decision to superficially (i.e. still run all ads and have surrogates carry out campaign events) declare his campaign [...]

Campbell Brown discusses who might be to blame in the need for a massive Economic bailout, and its ultimate failure at the hands of the House of Representatives.
Moving the Debates: Political Tactic, Have No Doubt
John McCain woke up from his pre-debate nap today and decided it was time to quit campaigning altogether until Wallstreet feels better.
Lets begin this morning at 8:30am when Senator Barack Obama called Senator John McCain to suggest they make a joint statement, and nothing more, on the heft of this economy crisis. A particularly graceful [...]
Voter Registration Deadlines Approaching: What You Should Do.
See below for a full list of state by state voter registration deadlines. Here is an email I received from the Atlantans for Obama group regarding some tactics for Get Out The (Student) Vote.

Open Mind Warning: I just want to make it clear that I do not endorse or present these theories as fact, merely as interesting counter theories to what might have happened that day. There is compelling, if not damning, factual evidence that cannot be ignored and to my knowledge has not been fully refuted.

A True and Important Choice: We Endorse Barack Obama
This election season we are presented with a true choice. We are presented with an opportunity to move past the politics that has so devastatingly neutered our governing structure. Imagine what we stand to lose in this election, just imagine what is at stake as we take our places at the polls to vote this [...]
Obama on the Attack
Take a look for yourself, comment please. Barack Obama has hit back hard on the, as my mother would say, “vile dissembling” of the McCain campaign. Ouch.
See them all here, 527s jump in too! If they want a fight the Obama team is apparently prepared to do that.
From the Campaign
NOT From the campaign
What we should remember.
Reader Beware: Not a fun and games article.
Seven years later we are reminded once again that our world is determined by the actions of man. Not just those twenty-two who boarded planes seven years ago today, but my actions and yours determine exactly what kind of world we live in today.
Seven years ago today my [...]
