McCain: Selling an Economic Policy
John McCain has retooled his campaign - yet again - and put Steve Schmidt, a veteran of Karl Rove's old shop, in charge of the day-to-day operation. He's back out again doing what he says he loves best, mixing it up with voters in town hall settings. Where he once professed not to know much about the economy, it's now what he talks about constantly. But in spite of all the changes, there is still one key hurdle that McCain has yet to overcome, something a supporter in Portsmouth, Ohio, summed up pretty neatly in one of those question-and-answer sessions with the presumptive Republican nominee at the local high school: "When are you going to go out and say, 'Read my lips. I am not the third term of Bush?'"

Jesse Helms: Stubborn on the Right
There's a special place in the United States Senate for the skunk, the single-minded dissident who refuses to go along with the gang and instead uses stubbornness, tenure and the chamber's arcane rules to advance himself and his causes. In the modern Senate, no one played that role as effectively as Jesse Helms, who died early Friday in Raleigh, N.C., at 86. For 30 years, Helms took controversial, sometimes outrageous positions on race, foreign relations and the culture wars, courting controversy and infuriating rivals but often outmaneuvering his centrist and liberal rivals. In the process, he also rewrote the way Americans elect their Senators by transforming his notoriety into mountains of campaign cash and a narrow but motivated grassroots majority in his home state.
