Zahra Rahnavard: Not Iran's Michelle Obama, But Its Hillary Clinton
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyZahra Rahnavard, wife of Iranian presidential reform candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, is by all accounts a stirring speaker, an energizing personal presence, a respected force in her professional field and someone who enjoys high approval ratings in Iran. For those reasons, many are comparing her to Michelle Obama. But they're looking at the wrong first lady. Zahra Rahnavard is really Iran's Hillary Clinton. ...
From The Windup: Just Who Is a Chicago White Sox Fan to Vote For?
By Tom Fornelli - AOL NewsFrom The Windup is FanHouse's daily, extended look at a particular portion of America's pastime.I don't know if you've been paying attention, but there are some things going on in this country right now that are far more important than whether or not the Cubs will win the World Series, or whether New York will collapse on itself should the Yankees miss the playoffs.No, I'm not talking about the new Beverly Hills 90210 - though it's nice to see Lori Loughlin getting work - I'm talking about the upcoming election for President of the United States.

Washington Post's Idiotic Obama Story Under Fire
By Jonathan Berr - Politics DailyTo paraphrase the great political leader Larry Craig and pop culture icon George Costanza, Barack Obama is not a Muslim and never has been a Muslim -- not there is anything wrong with that. Many people, though, seem to think he's a secret Muslim pretending to be a Christian. Among the smoking guns they mention is Obama's middle name of Hussein, which I'll admit is a politically unfortunate though common name in the Middle East. But so what. It proves nothing. There are plenty of Jews named after the Christian apostles Mark and Paul and not everyone named Sunshine is a hippie. You can't judge a ...
Hillary Clinton Ducks Issues Better Than Republicans
By Jonathan Berr - Politics DailyThe Democratic presidential candidates attacked Hillary Clinton at tonight's debate in Philadelphia the way a pack of starving dogs tear into juicy t-bone steak that's thrown at them. Gloves didn't come off. They were never worn. In fact it got so bad that Gov. Bill Richardson, who on paper is the most qualified for the job, lamented about "this holier than thou attitude toward Senator Clinton. ...It's important that we save some the ammunition for the Republicans." Hmm, sounds like someone is angling for a vice presidential spot. Taking his cue, Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) went on a tirade ...
Obama, Thompson Are Media Darlings
By Jonathan Berr - Politics DailyBarack Obama and Fred Thompson are leading their rivals when it comes to positive media coverage, according to a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Joan Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public Policy that examined more than 1,700 news stories published or aired between January 1 and May 31. This survey is pretty useless. What may have been true in May is no longer the case in October. Neither candidate can be called a media darling today or even a favorite. Even if the media was saying today that Obama and Thompson can walk on water, does it matter? Being a ...
