Make a decision for progress

Nov. 2, the New York Times' Richard Berke reported on the GOP's "intangible advantage" in the 2000 presidential race: "Republicans are far more energized about Gov. George W. Bush than Democrats are about Vice President Al Gore."

More ways than 1 to make satisfying sweet potatoes

Not long ago, in a graduate student lounge, the conversation turned to the subject of sweet potatoes.

The right choice for our future

Democrats have built an impressive and solid record of leadership during the last eight years: the longest, most robust economic expansion in American history. Al Gore and Joe Lieberman want to continue moving America in the right direction, while ensuring we leave no one behind in our drive toward progress.

An American kind of passion

Extremism is really sexy. If you don't believe me, ask somebody who has been to one of those mega-rallies for Ralph Nader. Just imagine standing and cheering along with 12,000 other dreamers in a packed stadium.

Nation must look beyond consumerism

A vote for David McReynolds, the Socialist Party candidate, would be a vote that counts, a vote that will make our leaders sit up and take notice.

A declaration of values

Most people in Indiana probably aren't aware they have three choices for governor, including Andy Horning, the Libertarian candidate. Fewer still know I am a fourth choice, like the tire company that calls itself "the other guys."

Do not waste your vote

Universal health care. A healthy environment. A living wage standard for hard working Americans. No more corporate welfare and bail outs. These are things you shouldn't be afraid to vote for. Unlike any other presidential candidate, Ralph Nader fights tirelessly for these ideals.

Government should be small

Why vote Libertarian? To take a stand for your right to keep every dollar you earn. It's a stand against corporate welfare and socialism.

The 'Bloody Eighth' candidates on the issues

Compare how John Hostettler and Paul Perry stand on the issues facing their district

Hostettler, Perry battle it out in 'Bloody Eighth'

He had no background in politics. He was just a performance engineer at the Warwick Power Plant. But John Hostettler decided to run for Congress, making a bid to unseat Democrat Frank McCloskey.

Lieberman praises public life

Joseph Lieberman loves the public life. His 2000 book "In Praise of Public Life," tells readers about his love for politics and his concern with what he perceives to be an increasing number of Americans reluctant to participate in their government.

Cheney balances out ticket

Dick Cheney might have the birthday party of a lifetime next year. If all goes well on Election Day, Cheney can look forward to possibly celebrating his 60th birthday in the White House. George W. Bush's pick for vice-president will hit the 60-year mark Jan. 30, only 10 days after the Presidential inauguration. Pretty exciting stuff for a kid from Casper, Wyo.

Senate contenders continue the fight

Months of campaigning have all boiled down to this. Tomorrow, one of the three candidates for U.S. Senate will win the honor of representing Indiana in Washington, D.C., for the next six years. But today the race is still on.

Nader looking to gain a piece of the political pie

With the election less than a day away, the presidential candidates are pushing as hard as they can to get their platforms out to the undecided voters. One candidate that has gotten attention is Green Party candidate Ralph Nader. Seen as a potential threat to the Gore campaign, Nader has controlled as much as 5 percent of the vote, according to the Gallup poll. But are Nader's numbers enough to seriously derail the Gore campaign?

And on the seventh day ... Voters head to the polls tomorrow to decide the leaders of the new millenium

Gubernatorial candidates are wrapping up campaign efforts this week, each pumping their own vision into the public arena as much as possible.

Candidates focus on education

Rep. David McIntosh (R-2nd) and Gov. Frank O'Bannon, the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial candidates, continue to focus on education while traveling the state frantically gathering last-minute votes.

George 'Dubya' Bush

He's a Texan. He's tanned, he talks with his dad's hand gestures, and he wears Ostrich skin cowboy boots with "GW" imprinted into the leather. He is the man who would be president. He's been the son of a President, an oil man, the owner of a professional baseball team, the governor of Texas and now a would-be president himself. He's the bright, shining hope of some and the bane of others.
