Why?

“Obama’s measured style worked in the spring but hurt him over the summer ... One of the great strengths of the Obama candidacy has been the sense that this is a guy whose blood doesn’t boil, who carefully considers the options before he reacts ... But that’s also a weakness; sometimes the most rational response is to rip your opponent’s lungs ... That sort of spontaneity—that sort of real passion—is what’s missing from this candidacy. I suspect Obama will have a hard time winning unless he finds some of it.” ...

The Right to Vote

WHAT is the secretary of Veterans Affairs thinking? On May 5, the department led by James B. Peake issued a directive that bans nonpartisan voter registration drives at federally financed nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and shelters for homeless veterans.
