Showing results for: Joe Biden (page 392)
How to fix the Department of Homeland Security
David Berman, Paul Light
Among other messes left behind by Bush, the next president will have to clean up this unwieldy, inefficient behemoth. A few suggestions for Obama and McCain.
Polls: Obama wins again
Alex Koppelman
Early results indicate that a majority of voters believe Barack Obama swept his debates with John McCain.
Patrick Ruffini, the demise of the right and the Democratic alternative
Glenn Greenwald
Destruction of the right will achieve a necessary good, but it is only the first step, not the last, to achieve anything meaningful.
Obama by a nose
Gabriel Winant
An expert "face reader" tells us what McCain's jowls say about his drooping power base, how Palin's cheekbones explain her "polite" power style and why the Democrats are looking awfully good.
McCain: The risky choice for president
Joan Walsh
After betting his campaign on efforts to smear Barack Obama, John McCain finds he's the one voters don't trust.
The Right and mainstream America: a universe apart
Glenn Greenwald
New polls conclusively show that the desperate smears of Obama -- along with increased exposure to Sarah Palin -- are backfiring on John McCain.
Shades of Mark Penn?
Vincent Rossmeier
A McCain spokeswoman said she wasn't going to talk about Barack Obama's association with Bill Ayers -- and then did just that.
Again, post-debate polls give it to Obama
Alex Koppelman
The Democratic ticket has now come away with the victory in all three debates held so far.
Sean Hannity, Robert Gibbs and anti-Semitism: How to go on Fox News
Glenn Greenwald
Over the weekend, Sean Hannity hosted a "documentary" on Obama in reliance on a notorious, deranged Jew hater -- a fact that an Obama spokesman puts to good use.
Nobody’s dummy
Camille Paglia
Liberals underestimate Sarah Palin's vitality and -- yes -- smarts at their own peril. Plus: Obama's presidential air, Biden's condescending mugging, feminism's lost sisters.
The GOP goes back to its ugly roots
Gary Kamiya
McCain is resurrecting the GOP's oldest tactic: Smearing Obama as a scary black terrorist sympathizer. But he may meet the same fate as Barry Goldwater.
Admiring Palin (and hating her for it)
Tracy Clark-Flory
Lisa Belkin says the politician made her feel like a good mom -- and then a guilty mom.
Springsteen: “I want my country back”
Joan Walsh
Supporting Obama, the rock legend takes a swing-state tour, once again.
Palin uses Ayers, Wright to attack Obama
Alex Koppelman
Sarah Palin isn't shying away from one line of attack that John McCain had previously condemned.
Queen Latifah to play Gwen Ifill
Salon Staff
Betcha Saturday Night Live will mock the veep debate tonight.
The dumbing down of the GOP
Joe Conason
Why aren't more conservatives disgusted that their party nominated a person devoid of qualifications for the vice presidency (again)?
How Palin played in Green Bay
Walter Shapiro
Republican debate watchers praised a "tough" and "witty" performance from the Alaskan governor, but on the whole were surprisingly subdued.
Palin gets another crack at SCOTUS question
Alex Koppelman
This time, Sarah Palin's able to recite a list of Supreme Court cases she disagrees with, but her reasoning still leaves something to be desired.
Joe Biden is made of testosterone and strong verbs
Sarah Hepola
The media is piling on Sarah Palin after last night's debate, but all I can think about is her opponent.
The end of the Reagan revolution
Andrew Leonard
The vote to bail out Wall Street marks the demise of deregulation's stranglehold over the American economy
Salon Radio: L.A. Times’ Tim Rutten on Ahmadinejad
Glenn Greenwald
Is the U.S. failing to take the "Iranian threat" seriously enough, or is that threat being exaggerated and distorted?
Sarah Palin exceeds expectations — and still loses
Mike Madden
Debating Joe Biden, Palin avoids another train wreck, delivering Republican talking points with robotic determination. But she also fails to convince undecided voters to stop their movement toward Obama.
How Sarah Palin blew it
Joan Walsh
She asked for more vice-presidential power on the heels of Dick Cheney's abuse, and she failed to show simple decency when Biden referenced his family tragedy.
Biden wins
Alex Koppelman
The results are in, and it looks like voters think Joe Biden beat Sarah Palin handily in Thursday night's debate.
