--Which of the two presidential candidates might be an internet president?

--Is John McCain running too far to the right for the 2008 election, and is he overusing the POW storyline?

--Polling is all over the place, as close as tied and as far apart as Obama ahead by double digits.

--How much of a factor are race and gender playing in this election?

--Scary commentary from people leaving a John McCain rally in Ohio.

--Even scarier religious talk from a PBS special.

--Joe the Plumber, and the lies he told.

--The third and last presidential debate, including McCain saying he's not George W. Bush, talking about the health of the mother in abortions, and finally bringing up William Ayers.

--Colin Powell endorses Barack Obama, and asks why it would be bad even if Obama were a Muslim, even though some do not believe Powell that he is not making his endorsement based on race.

--Much more.
