Republicans, remember your ancestry. Remember Goldwater. Remember Buckley. And find yourselves again.

About 30 minutes before John McCain is scheduled to lead a rally outside Raymond James Stadium, looks like maybe 1,000 people here. What's up with tha...

By becoming so immersed in Barack Obama's campaign, my wife and I have literally put our lives on hold. Our kitchen sink is perpetually full of dirty dishes, the dogs are unwalked and the water faucet is dripping. Turns out, we're not alone.

I parked, walked to the front of one of my favorite local restaurants and there, in front of its sign, was a McCain Palin yard sign. What was I to do?

McCain is letting Obama literally double up on local impact. When it comes to reaching swing state voters, less is definitely not more.
Daniel Chun | Posted 10.06.2008 | Politics
Since September, I've gone 100% crazy. Come next year, John McCain and Sarah Palin might be running this country. I can't concentrate at work. I can't hold a normal conversation about anything besides politics.

Obama has -- at most -- a few weeks left to understand the political dynamics of envy. Otherwise he will join the ranks of Al Gore and John Kerry as a vastly superior candidate who lost.

Barack Obama continues to demonstrate that he and his team have the chops to relieve the U.S. government of its inflexible and outmoded Industrial Age mindset.

Michigan and Florida should re-vote and allow no campaigning. No Television. No Radio. No ads. Maybe one more debate. This would be a novel experiment in how to take the money out of politics.

Like the much-maligned American diet currently testing the candidates, Americans are gorging themselves on tremendous amounts of cheap democracy.

How are we expected to evaluate the story when the very first sentence in the piece puts one over on us?

When did such nastiness enter politics? Of course, we can find many periods in history where politics took the low road.

In the postmodern funhouse that imprisons prestige media, the job isn't to cover events, but rather to reveal their theatricality; the trick isn't to find truth, but to disclose "framing."

No one has asked the single most important question of any presidential race -- Would I have a beer with this person?

Do Democrats fear the President's 25 percent approval ratings? He stands revealed to hawk and dove alike, grossly incompetent at home and abroad. He f...

What a difference a poll makes. Say ta-ta to triangulation, Hillary. Scrap that pox-on-boomer-era culture wars, Barack.

Just what do these debates really show us -- thoughtful answers to very complex problems? No. Thirty seconds to explain a major healthcare initiative? No. Who's got the best sound bite? Yes.

I'm not even sure I want to hear a promise that, "If elected, I won't lie." Just please say that lying is bad.

When performed properly, the politician will look refreshed and energetic, not plasticized and artificial.

After visiting with the Georgia Tech Young Dems, Bill Richardson stopped for lunch at the Varsity in Atlanta. However, the greasy food wasn't the only thing causing his campaign heartburn.
Charles H. Green | Posted 10.08.2007 | Business
The problem in business and politics is identical. Both have become all about competition and winning -- not about consumers and voters.
