This week's Tote Board column looks at why John McCain should pick former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge as his running mate -- if Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee.
For weeks there’s been speculation about how John McCain could possibly convince his party’s right wing to rally around him. The New York Times may have helped him take a giant step in that direction. Opinions can differ about whether the Times should...
The Tote Board may have acquired a severe case of campaign fatigue because, for once, we agree with Bill Kristol .

This week's Tote Board column looks at how electable each of the major candidates is and concludes that if John McCain can win the GOP nomination, he's the best bet to be the next president.
As we related earlier, we're not going to react to every waver in the polls -- there will be many in the days ahead. But when the trend is significant, we'll note it, and there are unmistakable signs that John McCain is having a signficant surge...
Marc Ambinder is reporting that Democratic independent Joe Lieberman will endorse John McCain tomorrow. The question is: Will it help him? Certainly not with Republicans. The question is how many conservative Democrats and independents will it mobilize...
The Des Moines Register has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Big deal. For 364 days of the year, everyone discusses how newspapers are losing their readership and influence. On the 365th, we’re supposed to believe that newspaper endorsements move...
