The Big Tent in Denver
The Writing Corner - By Beth Wellington - Aug. 28 (Blog Post) - [Disclosure: The is a post from the blog of a NewsTrust staff member.] It seems some of the more serious conversation on the future of the Democratic party in Denver this week--at least the progressive wing--might be taking place, not at the Convention or its associated events, but over at the Big Tent, a "new media center created by local organizations, national blogs, Digg, Google and YouTube."

We should all be so poor
PolitiFact - Aug. 28 (News Analysis) - Wealth has taken a beating in this presidential campaign as John McCain tries to paint Barack Obama as an elitist and Obama fires back that McCain is so rich he can't keep track of how many houses he owns.

MSM Tensions Erupt
The Nation - By Eric Alterman - Aug. 28 (Blog Post) - Really? As Matt Yglesias points out , it's pretty clear how the media should treat these ads that they know to be dishonest.

If Obama was putting out lies about McCain, how fast do you think the media would figure a way out of that "conundrum"? It's not like they have anything else to do here...

On National Security Night, Clinton Keeps His Gun Holstered and Biden Fires Away
Huffington Post - By Arianna Huffington - Aug. 28 (Blog Post) - It was a powerful indictment of McCain -- a heaping, close-to-9-minute serving of the red meat that has been sorely missing from the convention menu this week -- and effectively made the case that national security is actually John McCain's weakness.
That's a point Democrats need to relentlessly hammer home from now until Election Day. Even when it's not national security night.

So is Obama the saviour of his party?
The Independent - By Rupert Cornwell - Aug. 28 (Opinion) - One of the most unusual and attractive features of candidate Obama is that he visibly thinks before answering a question, weighing the pros and cons of an argument. That is an excellent quality for a President. But on the campaign trail it can come across as a lack of urgency. Obama moreover faces an additional difficulty. All along, his candidacy was presented as non-confrontational, based on the premise that he could bring Americans together...

McCain's Prickly TIME Interview
Time - By James Carney, Michael Scherer - Aug. 28 (Interview) - McCain at first seemed happy enough to do the interview. But his mood quickly soured. The McCain on display in the 24-minute interview was prickly, at times abrasive, and determined not to stray off message. An excerpt:
