Political spouses have traditionally wielded their influence in private. But in this race, all the rules will have to be rewritten

They talk about them all the time on the news shows, every day the major Presidential candidates have conference calls with reporters. It seems much of the real action in the campaign happens here, but we (voters, taxpayers, citizens)  have no access. I listened to an MP3 of one of the calls, with the chief strategist and communications director of the Clinton campaign. It was fascinating, gave me a picture of how the press and the candidates relate that I had never seen before.  Now I want more -- I want it all!  I've been asking around, where can I get MP3s of all the conference calls, the day they happen, in full, not spun through the reporters, and so far have come up with nothing. So I'm bringing this issue to as many people as I can think of who might either know how I can get them, or apply pressure to one or more news organizations to make them public. I'd of course like to see them made available as an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures, so it will be accessible to everyone with a podcast client. I would help create this, even host the feed if necessary. Anyone at a major media organization would have access to this content. I'm pretty sure it's all on the record. Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's something usually missing in the final stretch of a hot sheriff's race: a candidate who admits he has fixed tickets for friends of fellow officers.

According to conventional wisdom, front-runners win presidential nominations. Democrats and Republicans who start the race for a presidential nomination with the largest amount of money and the best poll numbers are supposed to be the ones most likely to walk away with victory months later.

There are enough things to admire about âThe Great Debaters,â the heavily fictionalized true story of The Little Debate Team That Could, that your impulse is to forgive the movie its shortcomings.

â¢ Hating the other guy feels good, but it&#39;s a poor substitute for policy positions. John Kerry had some plausible policies, but for two years the Democratic Party&#39;s campaign has been based on &quot;anybody but Bush.

It seems that this yearâs presidential race is not a debate about the future of our country, but a debate about each candidateâs past.
