US Elections: Barack Obama's Team Believes He Can Win by a Landslide

Barack Obama's senior aides believe he is on course for a landslide election victory over John McCain and will comfortably exceed most current predictions in the race for the White House.

Obama's "Police State Tactics"

by Gary Bauer

In past reports, I have warned about the disturbing efforts of leftwing activists and the Obama campaign to try to silence voices of opposition - from targeting radio stations that host debates between Obama supporters and those who oppose him to asking the Justice Department to prosecute the creator of a television advertisement that sought to expose Obama's connections to leftwing radicals.

Politics, Still Local

by Fred Siegel

"Let's be clear," Barack Obama wrote in "The Audacity of Hope" (2006). "The rich in America have little to complain about." They may have some complaints these days, along with the nonrich. David Freddoso mentions this passage from Mr. Obama's best-selling book to suggest the senator's willingness to increase taxes on the upper brackets and to spend money on government programs. But in truth it is hard to know exactly what Mr. Obama would do as president. His campaign has featured lots of post- partisan rhetoric about "change" and "reform" and, more recently -- as we heard during Friday night's debate -- a few standard-issue Democratic nostrums (e.g., regulation). Is he a moderate liberal or someone with a more radical agenda? How would he govern if elected?

Feisty Palin Stands Her Ground in Biden Debate

by Jim Kuhnhenn

Under intense scrutiny, Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin stood her ground Thursday night against a vastly more experienced Joe Biden, debating the economy, energy and global warming, then challenging him on Iraq, "especially with your son in the National Guard."

Palin Power!

by Gary Bauer

In the days leading up to last night's debate, the Obama campaign and its elitist, liberal media allies were spinning this narrative: Sarah Palin is stupid, inexperienced and belongs nowhere near Washington, D.C., much less the White House. Her selection reflects poorly on John McCain's judgment, and, by the way, this election is over.

With the first vice presidential debate imminent and Nov. 4 around the corner, Hollywood is refusing to hold its tongue about Sarah Palin.
