Samantha Sekar believes she has persuaded at least 20 people to vote for Democratic candidates this fall, but on a gorgeous autumn Saturday on the edge of Ohio State University, the going is tough.She knocks on door after door, looking for students who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and who might be persuaded to vote for Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, and other Democrats in the Nov. 2 elections. Such targeting is crucial to modern get-out-the vote efforts.

IN September 1998, after months of coverage of Monica Lewinsky, Kenneth Starr and Bill Clinton’s impeachment, Republicans were confident that they would make historic gains in the midterm elections. Many Democrats agreed, predicting a big loss in the House and one in the Senate, which would give Republicans a filibuster-proof supermajority, their largest since Warren G. Harding.

PRESIDENT Obama, the Rodney Dangerfield of 2010, gets no respect for averting another Great Depression, for saving 3.3 million jobs with stimulus spending, or for salvaging GM and Chrysler from the junkyard. And none of these good deeds, no matter how substantial, will go unpunished if the projected Democratic bloodbath materializes on Election Day. Some are even going unremembered. For Obama, the ultimate indignity is the Times/CBS News poll in September showing that only 8 percent of Americans know that he gave 95 percent of American taxpayers a tax cut.

A leading GOP lawmaker says Job 1 will be extending all of the Bush tax cuts. But a budget expert says if that's the starting point, getting the budget under control will be almost impossible.

Sorry, a bit late on this one, but I see old Kruggers, Nobel prize winner and New York Times columnist, is at it again. Not content to lecture his own country’s administration about how they are not spending enough, Professor Krugman lambasts Britain’s coalition government in his latest column for its deficit reduction plan, which he reckons will condemn the UK to a depression.Here’s a taste: “What happens now? Maybe Britain will get lucky, and something will come along to rescue the economy. But the best guess is that Britain in 2011 will look...

Perhaps you’re having a tiny last minute qualm about voting Republican. Take heart. And take the House and the Senate. Yes, there are a few flakes of dander in the fair tresses of the GOP’s crowning glory—an isolated isolationist or two, a hint of gold buggery, and Christine O’Donnell announcing that she’s not a witch. (I ask you, has Hillary Clinton ever cleared this up?) Fret not over Republican peccadilloes such as the Tea Party finding the single, solitary person in Nevada who couldn’t poll ten to one against Harry Reid....
