Deadlines, said Iraq war deadline supporters this week in a negative advertisement against Sen. Susan Collins, are worth fighting over. But with 586 days left before Election Day '08, did a deadline of their own force them to denounce her views on Iraq as she attended a funeral in Portland for Sgt. Jason Swiger, killed in Baghdad as he handed candy to children?
The Maine People's Alliance, backed by national Democratic donors, celebrated their ad Wednesday at the Bangor Public Library, explaining that Collins voted against the war-funding bill that would have imposed deadlines for troop redeployment. But the ad turns out to be a deceptive cut-and-paste pastiche: Film clips in it weren't taken during the funding vote but when she was opposing President George Bush on his troop surge. A c...

With sustained technological, economic, and human-capital investment at home (including a systematic effort to tackle crippling government deficits and the national debt) and a continued commitment to mobilize public support for international stewardship, the United States will remain well-placed to manage challenges from any imaginable great-power adversary. The greatest challenge for the United States and Europe in coming decades may not be fending off peer competitors in zero-sum military conflicts but vesting rising powers with responsibilities for global governance commensurate with their international clout - and their status as beneficiaries of an international order sustained disproportionately by Western leadership.\n This was part of a larger U.S. design to encourage Asian pa...

With its profusion of languages, ethnic groups and regional diversities, with its unique caste system, with its contrast between information technology and industry billionaires and the nearly 300 million people who live below the poverty line, with its mixture of Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy and outbreaks of savage communal violence, and with its success as a parliamentary democracy despite having 400 million people who cannot read or write, India remains a bewilderingly complex country. A powerful moral leader as well as a wily politician, Gandhi wanted Indians to be proud of their past, to wear Indian rather than foreign dress, to challenge their colonial overlords through peaceful protest and noncooperation and not through violence, and to eliminate discrimination against...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A bipartisan national survey has found that by a margin of 53 percent to 35 percent, Americans oppose proposals to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The bipartisan telephone poll of 1,003 registered voters was conducted Jan. 13-17, 2005, by Republican firm Bellwether Research and Democratic pollsters Lake, Snell, Perry and Associates for the Alaska Coalition, an alliance of national and local groups who favor protection for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Question: Should oil drilling be allowed in America's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?

Remember the Bohemian National Alliance Party? How about the Leninist League party? Do the Unconditional Unionist's, the Whigs, the Greenbacks, the Nullifiers ring any bells? We thought not, but all these defunct political parties - and hundreds of others - share one thing: They faded for lack of support and not because they pulled the plug on themselves.
When an email popped up in Confidential's inbox recently we thought we'd found something unique, a party announcing it was throwing in the towel. The subject read: "Hempstead Democratic Party Cancelled.
