      Obama Wallet Strikes Fear in GOP Hearts

      Republicans not used to worrying about money are sweating pennies, given John McCain's relatively inept fundraising in the face of an unprecedented Democratic war chest.

      Obama: Israel's Security Is Sacrosanct

      Less than 24 hours after securing the Dem nomination, Barack Obama moved to shore up his support among Jewish voters this morning, pledging before a pro-Israel lobby his unequivocal support of Israel. “Those who threaten Israel threaten us,” he told the AIPAC. “I will never compromise when it comes to Israeli security.” He promised to send more weapons to Israel, and to work more aggressively towards peace than his predecessor.
