      McCain's 'TMZ Campaign' Is Risky Business

      (Newser) - John McCain's attack ads on the "biggest celebrity in the world" depend on Americans loving to hate stars more than they admire them, writes James Poniewozik in Time . If the tactic works, it will shift Barack Obama’s best asset into a Republican secret weapon—but "snark aside, Americans still like celebrities." Obama’s job is now to define what kind of celebrity he is going to be. More »

      Biblical Images in McCain Ad Evoke Antichrist

      (Newser) - A John McCain campaign ad appears to play into Internet buzz about Barack Obama as the Antichrist, Time reports, and the spot's biblical flavor has Christian Democrats up in arms. McCain reps have called the ad “creative” and “humorous,” but it uses language evocative of the popular end-times Left Behind series and the Book of Revelation. More »

      Obama's Youth Army Takes Aim at Mom and Dad

      (Newser) - Barack Obama has a secret weapon in winning over undecided voters: their children, who have glommed onto the Illinois senator as they would a rock star. Voters from both parties tell the New York Times that their issue has turned them around on the issues—or at least turned them onto the youthful candidate—with dinner-table pitches and cold calls home from college.

      How Obama Is Like a Dot-Com

      (Newser) - Barack Obama may be generating excitement across America, but so did tech stocks during the late-'90s bubble, writes Der Spiegel ’s Gabor Steingart. "The rhetoric all sounds strangely familiar," he warns, comparing Obama’s campaign to that absurd era in the market’s history.

      Hillary Finds Herself in Rudy's Spot

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton’s nomination bid suddenly resembles the plan that failed Rudy Giuliani: Like Hizzoner’s Florida firewall, Clinton must hope voters in Texas and Ohio are unaffected by a month of good news for Barack Obama. Clinton still leads polls in the big states that vote March 4, and her move is to downplay a string of Democratic victories for Obama. More »

      The Playbook for a Comeback

      (Newser) - Can she get back on her feet before she’s counted out? The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza asked Democratic strategists how Hillary Clinton could regain momentum in her faltering campaign. The four-point play: Follow Bill’s “It’s the economy, stupid” lead: Put out a "white paper" talking up the first Clinton fiscal boom. It’ll play well in Ohio and Pennsylvania. More »
