POPSHow Healthy Is John McCain? Losing the G.O.P. nomination in 2000 gave McCain time to catch and treat the cancer at an early stage, which possibly saved his life.

POPSObama team talking points memo on Tuesday election. A Limbaugh scheme?
* Reports from Indiana polling places confirmed that record numbers of Republicans were taking Democratic ballots to vote against Obama. And Limbaugh himself bragged about the success of his effort on his radio show today. Republicans are desperate to face Clinton, because they know Obama will be harder to beat * Let’s be very clear: the Republicans want to face Senator Clinton in November, because they know that Senator Obama will be a stronger nominee for the Democrats, and will help Democratic candidates down the ballot. Republicans are so scared of Obama that they’re actually skipping their own primary to vote against him. * That’s a stunning testament to the threat that Obama will pose to Republicans come fall. * If I were the Clinton campaign, I don’t think I’d be celebrating too hard tonight. Winning a state on the strength of voters who want to see you defeated isn’t exactly the kind of win you want—or the message you want to send to superdelegates.
