How Bad Is McCain's Melanoma?

By Sam Stein, Huffington Post
Over the last few weeks, the issues of John McCain's age and health have been pushed, with much resistance, back into the heart of the political discussion. Prompted in part by the selection of Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential candidate, the topic crested with the release of a political advertisement calling attention to McCain's history of skin cancer and the need for more information about his medical records.

Republican Economic Theories Don’t Add Up

By Arthur Blaustein

Most Americans have one eye on the nation’s financial crises and the other on the presidential election. And they are asking themselves, “Is McCain or Obama, the Democrats or the Republicans, better for the economic health of the country, as well as for my own financial well-being?” That is the defining question of this election.
