When I see the way John McCain has been treated since losing the election, I can’t help but think that the general antipathy toward him is too great. From news anchors to everyday citizens, the McHatred ought to McDisappear.

Both the United States and the world awhole have waited anxiously for the conclusion of the 2008 presidential election. For countless days and hours we have all waited and it is finally over - Ladies and Gentlemen, we ought to celebrate.

With just 48 hours until the United States chooses the next President, I for one feel that the presidential race is as clear as night and day, as black and white. And in keeping with the analogy, that means voting for the black guy; Barack Obama.

Sure, there are less than two weeks left before Americans decide who the next president will be, but I’m tired of talking politics. There is an economic crisis that is looming large in the minds of all people aware of it, and the solutions are two.

Well, people are being shot on the streets (and in the trees) for supporting Obama. We’re all being flooded with negative attack ads. And we’re all fiending for screw-ups (myself included). But we have to stop it right now.

With only five days left until the Canadian Federal Election I have only one question for any and all; are you ready? According to much of the data swirling around the nation, there is a good chance you're not.

With election day just two weeks away, Canadian voters have much to mull over. From the policies of the party's, to the personalities of the politicians, there is much to consider. One thing is clear is though, Canadians should want a minority government.

Evidence - though odd - is arising that there are nuclear and militaristic agreements between Iran and China. Despite the weird way in which evidence came to light, the end result is the same; an alliance of nations averse to US demands is forming.

With Wall Street on the brink of collapse and Bush asking congress to further debase the American dollar in order to bailout corporate America, what I want to know is a) who does this bailout benefit and b) will it solve the problem?

Since the dawn of the 20th century (and surely before then), the politics of fear have played a pivotal role in elections world-wide; the 2008 US Presidential election is no exception. So the question is, who is playing the game, and to what effect?

With roughly one month before Canadians head out to the ballot boxes to cast their vote to elect Canada's next Prime Minister, things look pretty rosy for current PM Stephen Harper. But should Canadians be looking into the timing of this election?

With John McCain's Vice Presidential nomination coming on the heels of Barack Obama's DNC speech, it can't be denied that the timing was expedient. However, it was also narcissistic. And as to his choice, well, she'll fit right in.

Many have claimed (with merit) that Obama has received much more media attention than McCain during the 2008 presidential race; thus indicating a pro-Obama media conspiracy. Yet as we look, this favoritism is likely detrimental to the Obama campaign.

Off-shore drilling is a sure-fire point of discussion this fall (though both sides will agree it must be done). However, in looking at the issue it seems as though it is merely a talking point, not an issue that affects (or benefits) the average American.

Tensions between Russia and the US are rising to levels not seen since the Cold War era. But unlike in years past, the US is no longer unchallenged militarily and economically. With that said, a new kind of relations will be needed to avert confrontation.

As the US presidential race endures the dog-days of an Olympic filled, war-ridden summer, John McCain has drawn even in the polls with Barack Obama. Although the polls are admittedly irrelevant, there are ways for Obama to regain his popularity in them.

Between the South Ossetia–Georgia conflict and the infidelity charges against John Edwards, Barack Obama’s bid to take power of the White House has taken a beating. Although he still has a fighting chance, this week hurt his chances.

In an earlier article, it was argued that we should not believe anything McCain or Obama says while on the campaign trail. In this article, it will be argued that much of what Bush and the White House says should be discredited for very similar reasons.

As we tune our dials and immerse ourselves in the Beijing Olympics, there is a breaking story that we cannot ignore. Russia has invaded Georgia – a state that has long been vying for NATO admission. As with any war, there is much to understand.

With so many voices telling us so many different things, it is easy to be confused by the US presidential election. However, as we face the constant assault of competing views, there is a way to see through the mud that is political commentary.
