Andrew Malcolm's immigrant parents repeatedly stressed the importance of active participation in a democracy. Early lessons included learning the alphabetical list of states by watching televised roll calls of national political conventions.

A veteran foreign and national correspondent, Malcolm served on the Times Editorial Board and was a Pulitzer finalist in 2004. He is the author of 10 nonfiction books and father of four.

"Change I can believe in" doesn't include a cancer cure by 2012. Actually, I thought it meant the end of this kind of political masturbation.
Obama and McCain told the 527 groups to not spend ad money on such things, because the average voter is turned off by such utter B.S. and as a result doesn't go to the polls.

If Obama loses, it will be because of crap like this.

Undertoad, do you suppose McCain might lose because of "crap" like the ads Brown has already or might produce?
