New York, Sept. 22 A new twist has been introduced to Sarah Palin’s involvement with the “Troopergate” probe.

New York, Sept. 22 : While polls show that Alaska governor Sarah Palin has effectively energized the Republican base, they also indicate that concerns about her inexperience are rising - especially among women.
That was particularly evident in a series of recent interviews with women in Pennsylvania, a swing state where Barack Obama and John McCain are locked in a dead heat.
Both candidates are vying for the women’s vote, which could be pivotal in this hotly contested election, says the Christian Science Monitor (CSM).
New York, Sep 22 : The Obama and McCain campaigns have agreed to an unusual free-flowing format for the three televised presidential debates, which begin on September 26, but the McCain camp fought for and won a much more structured approach for the questioning at the vice-presidential debate.

New York, Sept. 20 :The 2008 presidential campaign has stimulated a great deal of interest among American voters all year, but according to the New York Times, the campaign is at an interesting phase, and is now even more focused on the process of electing a new president.
In the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll, 63 percent of voters said they were paying a lot of attention to the campaign, up from 51 percent before the parties held their conventions.

New York, Sept. 19 : Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of Democratic Presidential hopeful John Edwards in her first interview since her husband''s admitted affair, says trust and forgiveness remain elusive in her fractured 31-year marriage.
"When you mention trust, that''s probably the most difficult issue," the New York Daily News quoted Elizabeth as telling the Detroit Free Press.
The 59-year-old Edwards, battling terminal breast cancer, declined to say if she had forgiven her wayward spouse: "I don''t want to feed the monster, if you don''t mind."
She offered an analogy as an explanation: If she suffered a leg amputation, Edwards said, people wouldn''t ask, "Are you over that leg yet?"
New York - World leaders meeting at the United Nations General Assembly starting Tuesday will most likely look to a humble Roman Catholic priest from Nicaragua for direction in solving their earthly problems.
That priest is Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, a leftist clergyman and former foreign minister under the Sandinist government in Managua in the 1990s. Pope John Paul II had publicly scorned him for his leftist leanings when he visited Central America.
Elected president of the 63rd session of the 192-nation assembly in New York, d'Escoto Brockmann bluntly said he has not changed from the time he was a Sandinist. He still does not like the policies of the United States, he added.
