      Early Voting Law May Help Obama in Ohio

      (Newser) - An Ohio voting law that allows residents to register and vote simultaneously one month before the election may benefit Barack Obama, the AP reports. With one-stop voting available on college campuses Sept. 30 to Oct. 6, thousands could be added to the voter rolls—and Obama leads McCain 2-to-1 among 18- to 34-year-olds. Ninety percent of the nearly half a million college students in Ohio are said to be state residents. More »

      Reid Takes the Long View

      (Newser) - Harry Reid has positioned himself among the Democratic elite in Washington, but that doesn't mean the Senate majority leader is taking his eye off of the 2010 election in his home state of Nevada, reports Politico. Reid is maintaining his power position in the Senate while discreetly launching a campaign to keep his seat and avoid the fate of Tom Daschle in 2004. More »

      Why the Rift Isn't Healing

      (Newser) - A little more than a month after the joint rally in Unity, NH, the Obama-Clinton relationship is still chilly, writes Howard Fineman, who faults both sides for letting their continuing squabble turn what should be a slam-dunk election year for the Democrats into a squeaker. For someone who’s running partly on the claim that his knack for diplomacy will heal the world, Obama has done surprisingly little to reach out to his former rivals. More »

      The Democratic Party: Is Civil War Brewing?

      (Newser) - Democrats are undoubtedly ascendant in the US, Joel Kotkin writes in the American , but the demographic shift that made it so may undermine the party in the near future. That’s because the working-class party of FDR is now chock-full of elites—two constituencies with different values. The richer Dems don’t care deeply about economic justice, and those with less money don’t see eye-to-eye with the party’s well-educated professionals. More »

      Obama Campaign Insular, Arrogant, Hill Dems Complain

      (Newser) - Some Congressional Democrats say they're not feeling the love from Barack Obama's campaign, Politico reports, with the candidate inattentive to broader election strategy and his camp uncommunicative on the day-to-day message blitz. "They think they know what’s right and everyone else is wrong on everything,” one senior staffer said “They are kind of insufferable at this point.” More »

      Holdout Hillraisers Are Acting Like Spoiled Rich

      (Newser) - To Hillary supporters continuing to nurse their wounds and vowing to vote for John McCain, Michael Kinsley has this to say in Time: "Now is the time to just get over it." Their complaints of sexism in the campaign are misdirected—"there is no easy way these folks can vent their anger at Chris Matthews. So they are taking their revenge on people without health care, women who need abortions, and others who they (if they supported Hillary) must think will be harmed by a Republican victory in the fall. That'll show 'em."  More »
