Steve Schmidt, a longtime Republican campaign operative (and one of the sane ones), just unleashed a bombshell, secrets he has carried for years about McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. I’m not sure what the rules here are about linking to competing...

Senate Democrats are looking like winners in Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and North Carolina. Their leads are so large at this point that it’s hard to see, absent scandal, how they won’t win. Democrats are also looking good in the next tier of races, tied...
