This is the first intelligent essay I have read in the mainstream media regarding Palin. I am a moderate Democrat but was very disappointed at the obvious partisan trashing of Governor Palin by so many of my fellow women. Their intemperate critiques fly in the face of the feminist principles they claim to uphold. Gibbs has the good sense to realize that the issues successful women face are the same regardless of political ideology. Jeanne Mallett, WASHINGTON...

In a political culture dominated by sound bytes and rhetoric, where the campaign season primarily consists of pre-screened questions and carefully rehearsed speeches in front of staunchly partisan crowds, it’s nice that for a few short moments every election, the Republican and Democratic candidates for president are forced to actually engage with one another in formal debates.

Troopergate has quickly devolved into a farce of empty witness chairs and very conventional partisan politics, including the recent involvement of a former New York federal prosecutor (no, not Rudy Giuliani) whom the McCain campaign flew to Alaska to tidy up the mess. His name is Ed O'Callaghan, and his main tactic seems to be to stall the investigation as much as possible. He said that Todd...
