Palin alone disqualifies McCain
Saturday October 04, 2008 by Bill Press -- It used to be true that the office of vice president didn't amount to much. Not "worth a pitcher of warm spit," in the famous words of FDR's first vice president, John Nance Garner. That changed with Dick Cheney, who exercised more power than any vice president in history. It also used to ...

No blank check for Bush

It's still the economy, stupid
Friday September 19, 2008 by Bill Press -- Take this to the bank, if you can still find one open for business: Two months from now, we will look back and assert that the week of Sept. 15 was the week John McCain lost the presidential election of 2008.

Friday August 29, 2008 by Bill Press -- DENVER – We are all part of history, and we experience it every day without thinking about it until, every once in a while, history hits us between the eyes – as it has in Denver this week.

Hillary's the one!
Friday August 15, 2008 by Bill Press -- Nearing the end of a week's vacation, Barack Obama now faces the toughest decision of his life. He has to come back from Hawaii ready to announce his running mate. And for me it's a no-brainer. Forget Tim Kaine. He's an impressive young governor of a key swing state, but he has even less ...

Whatever happened to the Straight Talk Express?
Friday August 08, 2008 by Bill Press -- As the co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," I was in New Hampshire in 2000. I covered John McCain's insurgent campaign against front-runner George W. Bush.
