There are people who believe that there should be a standard psychiatric examination for every presidential candidate and for every president.

Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasure.

Does that seem like too much to ask? John McCain thinks it is.

The 2012 presidential campaign's turn away from the classic, straight-up, American election - where the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins - is another sad reminder of the extreme political polarization distorting today's politics.
