Obama Elected: How to Cope, Biblically, with Winning and Losing
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Barack Obama was elected president of the United States last night, bringing to a close the most heated, and emotional election I can ever recall.

Gettin’ Geared Up for Election Day
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Tomorrow is election day, so take the time (if you have it) to brush up on the issues.

Power and Responsibility in Campaign Coverage
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008With Election Day in exactly four weeks from today, it’s extremely hard to find something to write about that isn’t about politics. I’m not trying to ignore the election, but I need to stay as close to non-partisan as I can until after November 4th.
This is the first presidential election in many years that the [...]
