...cyclist in first place near the finish line. He raises his hands to celebrate as he enters the home stretch, loses his balance, and falls off his bike. Another cyclist cruises past him. In case you didn’t get the point, the campaign even places a photoshopped McCain head on the guy who ends up winning...
Providing that Obama can hold on, Harvard’s Republicans will need to do some soul-searching. I agree that McCain is no Bush, but George W. Bush was not a one-man show, and the real problem today lies with the entire American Right. What kind of campaign explicitly states that one part of the country is more American than the other? What kind of party lets incompetent Regent University cronies like Monica Goodling infiltrate the federal administration because they share a belief in the second coming of Christ?

Whether or not John McCain pulls off a comeback, conservatives will suffer a loss on Nov. 4. Brit Hume, the managing editor of FOX News Channel's Washington, D.C. bureau and the anchor of the network's "Special Report," will step down from those duties after the election.

Hume spoke with TIME about stamping...

"Florida," Gore warned, "can once again decide the outcome of a national...
...attorney who represented Bush during the 2000 recount but isn't representing any side this time. (Richard, ironically, is a lifelong Democrat who is voting for Obama.) "Florida could be close," he adds, "[but] it doesn't look like it's all going to rest on a single state. McCain has an uphill battle in a bunch of states. Going into the 2000 election, it was tight all over the place." True enough. But fair or not, when things get tight in Florida, Americans instinctively brace for a car wreck and its long-lasting damage...
