...grassroots call for change a “secular religion.” But the greatest factor in Obama’s favor, Castellanos said, is the financial crisis that has swept Wall Street over the past few weeks. While the Republican National Convention and the nomination of Sarah Palin moved the McCain campaign in a more “populist” direction, the financial crisis shortened the distance between McCain and the Republican establishment. “Republicans are going to be charged for this happening on their watch,” Castellanos said. Castellanos said that...
...voter registration is expected to wind down in the next two weeks and the impact of John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, becomes clearer, the Obama campaign is apparently scaling back its outsized electoral ambitions. It has already shifted staff, abandoning some states and putting others on notice. If it once technically played in all 50, it's now down to 48 - you can cross Alaska and North Dakota off the list - and two other states, Montana and Georgia, are on life support. The choice of Palin not only crushed Obama's hope of winning the Frontier State...
Klein's column concentrated on Palin as shoring up McCain's right-wing supporters. He missed a key point. She is a blue-collar mom, with a blue-collar hairdo, a blue-collar husband and a blue-collar family. That will have tremendous appeal to blue-collar voters.

...Your report on Sasol got me thinking about racism and democracy. Barack Obama's selection of Joe Biden as running mate shows wisdom in balancing his own weaknesses (political and governing experience and foreign policy). Aging and angry John McCain picks young Sarah Palin, ambitious but inexperienced and not remotely qualified for a position that demands brave yet sensible world leadership. In South Africa, our precious 15-year-old democracy is dominated by a single party that has chosen a leader with no governing track record, intent on quashing a state case against him for fraud. This same government, notes...
...each candidate spouting carefully memorized talking points, rather than a substantive debate in which the merits of ideas can truly be tested. It seems a shame, therefore, that this same flexibility will not characterize the vice-presidential debate, in which Senator Joe Biden will face off against Governor Sarah Palin. Unlike its presidential counterpart, the much-anticipated Biden-Palin showdown will be constrained by a more restrictive format that leaves little time for questions or interactions between debaters. Even more troubling than the curtailed structure is that the McCain campaign has publicly admitted to insisting upon such a format...
