...question is, does the size of this victory completely change the dynamic of this race. Bush is still the front-runner - he's got the money and the organization in state after state. You don't want to underestimate the enormity of John McCain's task...

"This is a ringing indictment of the Supreme Court's inability to properly interpret and oversee the Constitution's protection against cruel and unusual punishment," says TIME legal writer Alain Sanders.
