Neither did McCain escape the wrath of the signs in Nevada: one Tea Partyer hoisted the message "Reid-McCain: Two Sides of the Same Damn Coin. Vote Them Out." Another placard featured McCain's picture with the words "No More RINOs [Republicans in Name Only] - Retire McCain." Before Palin's arrival, activists in the crowd debated among themselves whether the former Alaska governor had fallen from grace by trying to save McCain, who is facing a spirited challenge in the state's August Republican primary from former Congressman and conservative talk-show host J.D. Hayworth. Although Hayworth doesn't have...
...Neither candidate really seemed to win the first debate - though Crist had more to lose by not winning. In fact, on one of the key subjects, taxes, both may have given a boost to the eventual Democratic candidate, given the fact that a fifth of Florida's electorate is independent. In order to plug a $2.2 billion hole in Florida's budget, Crist stumped not for new taxes but for new user fees - for example, higher costs for driver's licenses and annual motor-vehicle-tag renewals, not a popular proposition during a recession in a state where public transportation...

"It's going to be repealed and replaced, and it's going to be done soon," McCain thundered. "It will not stand...
...One impetus for the new peace effort may have come earlier this month, when a group of 70 Hezb-i-Islami fighters in the northern province of Baghlan found themselves on the losing end of a gunfight with the Taliban. Besieged, Hekmatyar's men opted to surrender to nearby government troops as a way to save themselves. That incident, however, underscores how abysmal Hekmatyar's relations are with the Taliban and casts doubt over his ability to deliver Taliban leaders to the negotiating table. No sooner was the new peace plan announced in Kabul than did the Taliban vigorously reject...
