Washington Post - By Kevin Sullivan - Nov. 06 (Special Report) - "Americans overcame the racial divide and elected Obama because they wanted the real thing: a candidate who spoke from the bottom of his heart," said Terumi Hino, a photographer and painter in Tokyo.

Hillary Made Obama a Better Candidate
show
Wall Street Journal - By Lanny J. Davis - Oct. 17 (Opinion) - The anti-Hillary Clinton pundits were sounding the theme a few months ago that by staying in the presidential race through June 3, the former first lady was a divisive force that would irreparably harm Barack Obama's chances of capturing the White House.
But now Mrs. Clinton's decision to stay in the race until the last primary has been vindicated. Mr. Obama is a stronger candidate today thanks to Mrs. Clinton's pursuit of the Democratic nomination. And, far from being polarizing, she has helped bring the party together more than at any time in recent memory.NewsTrust Rating: 3.6 average (not enough reviews) - 1 review - Review It Visit NewsTrust | About | Sign Up | Disclaimer
McCain Advisor Says Voter Fraud is a “Perception” that “Plants Seeds of Doubt”
show
ProPublica - By Chisun Lee - Nov. 02 (Investigative Report) - A review of prosecutors’ statements and documents filed by Republicans in the most serious new cases alleging voter fraud shows that none offer an example in which a fraudulently registered person managed to cast a valid vote. While several cases argue that such frauds are possible, none sketched a scenario for how massive numbers of people could fake registrations and then vote.NewsTrust Rating: 4.1 average - 8 reviews - Review It Visit NewsTrust | About | Sign Up | Disclaimer
Sarah Palin 'I Haven't Always Just Toed the Line'
show
Wall Street Journal - By Kimberley A. Strassel - Nov. 01 (News Report) - Cape Girardeau, Missouri - Ask Sarah Palin what she has found most surprising about her campaign experience and she replies, with more than a touch of humility, "the enthusiasm." She's got a point.
Wending my way through the traffic and crowds around the Palin event in this small river city on Thursday morning, I began to wonder if the whole state hadn't shown up. Walking the cold half-hour from the nearest parking space, I passed mobs of disappointed voters who had already been turned away for lack of space. Inside the city's Show Me Center, thousands of roaring, stomping, sign-waving Palin fans were practically hanging from the rafters. It felt like, well . . . an Obama rally.NewsTrust Rating: 2.0 average (not enough reviews) - 0 reviews - Review It Visit NewsTrust | About | Sign Up | Disclaimer
