...this 20-month long campaign I have seldom seen Obama bring the full power of his oratory to the biggest possible crowd his campaign can build. That is, until this week. As the long campaign nears the end, the campaign has stopped shying away from such huge audiences, and the crowds have been stunning: 100,000 in St. Louis, 75,000 in Kansas City, 100,000 in Denver, 45,000 in Fort Collins, Colorado, 50,000 in Albuquerque. "We want to see and touch and talk to as many people as possible," says David Axelrod, Obama's top strategist. "This...
...people voted early in the first week, more than in the entire two-week period of 2004. This, despite the fact that Palm Beach County voters are dealing with their third voting-machine technology in as many presidential elections, ballot-mishandling in a recent local contest and a seldom-seen elections chief, Arthur Anderson, who has been seriously ill since losing his re-election bid in the August primary race.

Even before the "autobiography" appeared to a string of rave reviews, expectations for Me Cheeta, had been primed when it was longlisted...

The drawings were seldom sophisticated, often focusing on human anatomy and bodily functions. But along with Jennings' habit of donating a share of profits to left-wing causes, the art made Mambo exceptional in business, where the tweaking of a logo can qualify as a creative masterstroke.
