There's no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something's a story because Drudge links to it.
Barack Obamas official nomination as the Democratic Partys standard-bearer was a very poignant moment for millions of Americans. As the first non-white major party nominee, Obama is carrying a big load on his shoulders. Hes holding the hopes and dreams of a lot of folks who thought the presidency was only reserved for white men.
We're all living under the threat of violence and terror these days.
The more there is scandal and corruption in Washington, the better it is for McCain, so he`s at a high point right now.

On pure political talent, Ford may be the best candidate in the country for Democrats.
Presidents seem to fall into two positive categories: they're one of us, or they're heroes. Both McCain and Obama probably see themselves as potential heroes - presidents who will be looked up to, not presidents everyday people will remark are 'just like me.'
This is the ultimate mommy party issue, if you believe that Democrats are the mommy party and Republicans are the daddy party.
