Hear, Hear!

"But before our old soldier fades away, it is worth acknowledging that McCain ran a valiant race against impossible odds. He will be--he should be--remembered as the most worthy presidential nominee ever to be denied the prize." -Charles Krauthammer

New and Not Improved

Obama is already balking on promises from the primary season. He will probably do everything possible to appear as a centrist and disown his liberal roots and tendencies just to win votes. There is nothing inspiring about this candidate.

A Man of Seasonal Principles

Obama is quickly becoming the standard Washington politician he has been speaking out against. His policy shifts are blatant rejections of his own "change" and a testament to his narcissism, megalomania and flawed character of so-called humility and convictions.

Bush's Third Term

As Obama runs to the center, he is quickly embracing the legacy of the Bush agenda more than Sen. McCain.

The Audacity of Cynicism

Obama is constantly changing positions without any regard to the rhetoric and promises he so eloquently champions on the campaign trail.

Let McCain Be McCain

Senator McCain has the character and instinct to be president. This election will be a stark contrast between conviction and experience, ambiguity and naivete.

No, McCain Isn't 'Doomed'

Senator McCain has a better chance in this year's presidential election than any other of his former Republican contenders. He must, however, approach the campaigning season carefully and clearly.

House Republicans Need Leadership

If the Republicans hope not to be crushed this November, then the party needs to seriously take into account its identity and leadership.

The Ever-Malleable Mr. Obama

Obama has proved that even his own rhetoric of change and post-partisanship do not apply to him; he is above the Beltway's politics. As he vacillates on political issues to win votes, Obama's true intentions become apparent.

The Sam's Club Agenda

Reclaiming the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan from runaway spending and inept leadership is crucial. Republicans must embrace their historical roots and chart a new vision for the future by embracing a more pragmatic and nuanced approach.

It's All about Obama

Obama has proved that his campaign is not about change. It is about him. His ambiguous policies are only the beginning. Obama is set on manipulating the American public through empty rhetoric just to secure votes.

A False Moderate?

Obama has not lived up to his own mantra of post-partisanship. He is undoubtedly a conventional liberal without policies.

McCain's Oil Epiphany

Energy independence is a crucial facet of national security. Senator McCain's call for lifting the off-shore drilling ban is welcome, but he must go further. Drilling in ANWR is the next step.

Foreign Policy's Best Hope

The cordial, respectful and working relationship between Sens. Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Joseph Biden (D-DE) offers a unique prospective nonpartisan, American foreign policy.

Obama, Liberalism and the Challenge of Reform

Education has not been a major issue this election. Obama is not taking his call for reform and change to the schools. Instead, he is advocating for siding with teacher unions at the cost of student achievement. McCain has an opportunity to champion education.

Obama Is No 'Post-Racial' Candidate

Obama speaks eloquently of changing America and moving beyond racism. His actions, however, speak contrary to this lofty mantra.

Make the Election About Iraq

John McCain was right in criticizing the intial Iraq strategy and remains a vocal proponent of teh surge. Barack Obama fails to acknowledge the successes of the surge.

The Running Mate Choice

Excellent analysis by David Brooks. It is interesting to note how an Obama or a McCain administration would differ.

Obama's Metastatic Gaffe

Charles Krauthammer gives an excellent history lesson and ideological breakdown of why Obama's naive foreign policy will weaken America.

The Obama Learning Curve

This is worrisome. This only proves Obama is not ready for the presidency.
