Will the '08 Election See an October Surprise?new

Dems Hurt Their Chances by Their Reaction to Palinnew

The obvious thing for Obama to do is to ignore Palin and run against McCain. But he can't ignore her. In the past two weeks, Palin has obtained star power comparable to Obama's. He's in a finger-trap with her and in a death match.

Enviros Find Lame Excuses Not to Drill Offshore and in the Arcticnew

One of the more commonly used talking points of those who oppose drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or on the Outer Continental Shelf is that it would be at least 5 to 7 years before any ANWR or OCS crude reached U.S. refineries. It's one of the dumber arguments environmentalists and their Democratic allies in Congress make, and if you want to know why, consider how long it would take to produce an equivalent amount of fuel from any alternative source.

Obama's Victory Revives the American Dream ... For Nownew

After the hype blows over, it's hard to say whether the President-elect can deliver on his sweeping promises. Like Carter with Nixon, Obama is in the awkward position of being an apologist for his warmonger predecessors. And while the comparisons between Vietnam and Iraq wars have become almost cliche, Obama's biggest test will be in ending the Iraq war.
