    In a stifling town hall debate, the tie goes to the frontrunner

    There are two possible ways in which the Oct. 8 presidential debate will be interpreted by most of the media over the next several days – and both are favorable to Barack Obama. The most likely outcome is a general press consensus that the town hall forum was roughly a draw; that both Obama and John McCain had their moments, but that neither delivered a memorable line or introduced any kind of game-changing wrinkle into the mix. In baseball, a tie goes to the runner; in political debates, it goes to the front-runner.

    McCain misunderstands the meaning of honor

    Nothing in the presidential campaign so far has been as instructive as its swift descent into the politics of personal destruction.

    Black Congressmen declare racism In Palin’s rhetoric

    As the McCain campaign ratchets up the intensity of its attacks on Barack Obama, some black elected officials are calling the tactics desperate, unseemly and racist. “They are trying to throw out these codes,” said Representative Gregory Meeks, a Democrat from New York. “He’s ‘not one of us?’” Mr. Meeks said, referring to a comment Sarah Palin made at a campaign rally on Oct. 6 in Florida. “That’s racial. That’s fear. They know they can’t win on the issues, so the last resort they have is race and fear.”
