Count Every Vote New Mexico Brings a Voter-Protection Program to the Statenew
The New Mexico battle between McCain and Obama is almost certain to be a tight one. Several down-ticket races are just as exciting with a slew of hotly contested federal and state legislative fights to be decided on Nov. 4. With so much on the line, it's more important than ever for voters to have accurate information.

Politicians Rake it in While America Suffersnew
Demand for American-made cars and other manufactured goods may be declining in the U.S. Housing prices may be nose-diving. But we seem to have an insatiable urge to give money to American politicians, and we're willing to give more than ever. What exactly do we hope to get for all this money?

Will the Democrats Blow It in November?new
Lately I've been having one of those anxiety dreams, the same one over and over. I'm glued to my recliner on election night, unable to move my eyes from the screen. As the results are posted, the outcome becomes clearer and the unthinkable has happened: John McCain has won and the long, painful national catastrophe that is the Bush administration will assuredly spiral downward for at least another four years.

Terrorism Wins the War?new
The decision by Congress not to override President Bush's veto of the bill outlawing waterboarding by our government and its agencies makes it unanimous: All three branches of our government have now weighed in on the subject and agree that torture is just fine ... as long as we are the torturers.

Calling Obamanew
Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton: a tough choice for me, as each would make an excellent president. (Of course, compared with the current occupant of the White House, so would Mike, my barber, but I digress.) What swung me behind Obama, in the end, was the energy he seems able to ignite in a citizenry long afflicted with political ennui.

Democrats Against the War? Since When?new
Every Democratic candidate for president on down is "against the war in Iraq." But we wouldn't be in Iraq if Democrats hadn't surrendered Congress' constitutional power to declare war. Then once the war got going, Democrats pretty much abandoned the peace movement.

Why Immigration May Not Be Such a Big Issue After Allnew
If the national press is to be believed, the failed efforts of the Bush administration to achieve any sort of immigration reform have left this nation in the grip of an immigration dilemma of crisis proportions. Yet if a recent Albuquerque town hall is any indication, the much-ballyhooed crisis will eventually turn out to be the most oversold worry since the Y2K computer calendar sneeze.

The Pathetic Democratsnew
Democrats delivered much clearer statements on Iraq before they reaped the results of last November's election -- now that they run Congress, they can't put together two coherent sentences explaining their policy on the occupation of Iraq.
