2 days from today, we will finally get to do something we have not done since 1996... pick a President. It’s been a long wait, but the moment is about to arrive. During the summer of 1999, I was living in a different world than the one I live in now. My life revolved only around my needs, my goals, my ambitions, my desires and my pains. Around that time, a person said to me, "In another year, Bush is going to be President", and I laughed. I said, "This is 1999, not 1989, (…)

TOLEDO, Ohio (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry turned President Bush’s own words into a weapon on Thursday and said it was the Republican incumbent who had jumped to conclusions in Iraq, disqualifying him from being commander in chief.
The Massachusetts senator, energized by his beloved Boston Red Sox’s long-awaited win in baseball’s World Series and a joint appearance with rocker Bruce Springsteen, launched a withering attack on Bush over 380 tons of (…) -

It’s Not Just Al Qaqaa

by Paul Krugman
Just in case, the right is already explaining away President Bush’s defeat: it’s all the fault of the "liberal media," particularly The New York Times, which, so the conspiracy theory goes, deliberately timed its report on the looted Al Qaqaa explosives - a report all the more dastardly because it was true - for the week before the election.
It’s remarkable that the right-wingers who dominate cable news and talk radio are still complaining about a liberal stranglehold (…) -

Osama’s Election Editorial

The images broadcast on every American television station in the last few hours showed a man apparently in good health, clothed in traditional white and wrapped in a golden robe.
