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 .
Tonight's GOP debate is important -- and to a lesser extent, so is
tomorrow's Democratic face-off -- both because it's crunch...
With Rudy Giuliani reportedly set

can continue to spend his millions and he's a finalist in a two-and-a-half person
race, with Mike Huckabee lingering in the background. But in five...
McCain vs. Giuliani in Florida -- the Tote Board's take.
Amidst all the Democratic euphoria, a note of caution: In the latest Survey USA poll of Ohio , John McCain defeats Barack Obama by seven points -- 50%-43%. And, if Obama can't carry Ohio (at least against McCain), he's not going to carry Florida...

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...
The political press will be making a big deal this morning of the Manchester Union Leader's endorsement of John McCain. Here's a historical reminder of whom the Union Leader endorsed in the last few contested GOP primaries: 2000: Steve Forbes...
