What Barack Obama needs to do to close the deal What Barack Obama needs to do to close the deal

Three Democratic operatives offer advice for how the candidate should spend the final week.
  • Joe Barton strikes again

    The Texas congressman, who earlier this week tried -- and failed -- to stump Energy Secretary Steven Chu, tussles with Al Gore over global warming.
  • Michelle Bachmann, environmental crusader

    The Minnesota Republican says she confronted Al Gore at inauguration in order to crack a joke about the cold weather.
  • Breaking news: Despite global warming, snow still exists

    Matt Drudge uses a coincidence -- winter weather when Al Gore is scheduled to testify about the climate -- to attack actual science.
  • Obama versus Kerry and Gore

    Obama did remarkably better in some key battleground states.
  • Al Gore, back in Florida

    Both Gores will be working to turn out voters for Barack Obama in the state that cost the former vice president his shot at the White House.
  • Gore looking to 2012?

    The former vice president is heading to Iowa for a dinner that has become a ritual for Democratic presidential hopefuls.
  • Gore to speak on final night

    After much anticipation as to when Gore would speak, the former veep gets an unusual and unusually potent spot: Thursday night.
  • Hillary on Tuesday, Tim or Jack on Wednesday?

    With Hillary likely to get the prime-time slot on Tuesday night at the Democratic convention, all that remains is the identity of Wednesday night's speaker.
  • Gore endorses Obama

    The former vice president throws his support behind the presumptive Democratic nominee, describing him as a man who can bring needed change to the U.S. and the world.
  • Gore to endorse Obama Monday night

    The former vice president will make an official announcement during a joint appearance with the presumptive Democratic nominee.
  • Will the youth vote win it for Obama this fall?

    The likely Democratic nominee has a unique appeal to voters under 30. A look at how a strong youth turnout -- or lack thereof -- could affect this November's results.
  • The ugliest election

    From the overly decorous Gore team to the bought-and-paid-for Supreme Court, HBO's enraging docudrama shows the Florida recount like it was.
  • Al Gore, Cabinet minister for climate issues?

    Obama says, given the chance, he'd hire the former vice president.
  • The sun blotted out from the sky

    Global warming demands more than do-gooder actions. It demands "geoengineering" -- like blocking the sun's rays with stratospheric dirt.
  • Time columnist: Gore-Obama in '08?

    A fanciful scenario where neither Obama nor Clinton is the Democratic nominee for president.
  • Let 'em duke it out

    The Obama-Clinton drama is good for voters and the Democratic Party. And bad for John McCain.
  • John McCain is running for sissy in chief

    In his new book, John Strausbaugh claims everyone in America has been "sissified," including the 2008 presidential contenders.
  • Pulling out the big guns

    Oprah Winfrey is going back out on the campaign trail for Barack Obama, stumping in California on Sunday.
  • There's no taking sides

    Contrary to what many readers think, I am not endorsing Clinton or Obama for president -- and have spared neither candidate my criticism.
  • Ralph Nader's foggy crystal ball

    If he couldn't see much difference between Bush and Gore, how can he possibly tell Edwards and Clinton apart?
