This is as much a story about the Brits' correct observations of protocol as about the political impact of Obama's visit in London. It asks more questions than it answers.

This is one of those "how will we fell about Obama's overseas trip next week" stories that will be answered next week. Nevertheless, it's a good overview of the general themes coming from both political camps about his trip.

This story debunks the myth that plug-in electric cars will merely create as much or more carbon emissions at the coal-fired power plants. That's an argument some opponents use against electric cars. As a three-year owner of a Prius, I am always glad to read about heightened interest in battery operated cars. I'm also frustrated with U.S. car manufacturers for being years behind Toyota.

Given the amount of money involved in the drugs and people trade, this news is not surprising. It does reveal the large amounts of money smugglers are willing to pay.

The story suggest the depth of losses certain select banks may experience. The issue of dividend cuts is broached, a subject that has not been mentioned much yet during this debacle. There's so much more to this subject than the story discusses.

This is a much-needed reality check on the future of expensive gasoline. Election year political rhetoric will not be able to deliver cheap fuel again. We need to plan for that.

This is a day-in-the-life style story about the issues around winning the hearts and minds of Afghan farmers whose livelihood depends on their opium harvest.

This is an excellent, hopeful story that demonstrates how dangerous and dysfunctional it is to demonize Muslims. It is they who will defeat Islamic terrorists, and this story reveals how that is unfolding in the Muslim world. It is increasingly rarer these days to find such in-depth analysis in the mainstream media, especially the nightly broadcast news where "gotcha" sound bites rule the day.

A good, broad discussion about the major differences, strengths, and weaknesses of both candidates. No breaking news, though.

A very interesting insight into how McCain's postion has changed dramatically from his position a few years ago. A must read for those passionate about Constitutional limitations on presidential powers and McCain's changing positions on that subject.

Latinos who support McCain are represented in this article. I would have liked to hear from Latinos who don't. That might have presented a more balanced view of his support in the Latino community.

There's not much here. It just verifies that McCain supported Bush's comments in the Knesset.

McCain called for immigration reform but didn't say what he wanted to do about immigration other than securing the border. There's not much here.

The author suggests all McCain has to do is just the opposite of his latest major flip-flop from maverick to hardline Bushie. I think it's too late for McCain to switch back. So, the article seems oddly out of whack.

This story is more about the trouble the Republicans are in because of Bush than how bad McCain seems to them. It's a good, overall picture of their problems in the 2008 election.

Excellently referenced. Broadly researched. Succinct. There is at least one missing piece in this article: McCain's rationalization for ignoring the primary spending limits. I presume he is forthcoming on this subject. If not, the article should have addressed why it is not there.
