HILLARY Clinton has been received enthusiastically by audiences across America during her long Presidential campaign, but for sheer adulation her reception in Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday takes some beating. The sustained applause and screaming that greeted her appearance at her Get-Out-the-Vote rally probably owed at least something to the fact that she just had been introduced - "the next President of the United States!" by none other than rap star Jay Z. Mr Z, who seconds earlier had described Donald Trump's conversation as "divisive", performed at the rally, as did his wife, Beyonce.
The Herald/Sunday Herald Budget business briefing at the Skypark, Glasgow. Pictured is host Iain Macwhirter Photograph by Colin Mearns 20 March 2014 THERE is an air of cautious optimism among Democrats and their liberal supporters in the dying days of the most bitter presidential election America has experienced.
First: Any subsequent investigation into the email issue was set up to fail the moment James Comey decided to create an artificial measure of intent back in July. Recall that the FBI Director invented what I call the "Comey Intent Clause," which essentially said a lawbreaker who meant no harm never actually broke the law.
The battle for control of the Senate is so close that going into Election Day there are at least eight races virtually tied, leaving in question which party will control the chamber for the next two years.

Ahead of election day, the Forward invited three Jews to explain why they will be voting for Donald Trump - and, in particular, to explain why they are undeterred by the charges of sexism, racism and anti-Semitism in Trump's camp. Joshua Seidel works as a recruiter in Cincinnati, Ohio, finding suitable employees for clients throughout the area.
CNN's Fareed Zakaria delivered an impassioned monologue Sunday, in which he underlined why he would not be voting for Donald Trump on November 8. Zakaria has made no secret in the past of his opposition to the Republican presidential candidate, but he emphasized in an op-ed for The Washington Post and on his show "GPS" that he wanted to explain "one last time why Donald Trump is worth special attention." "I am not a highly partisan person.
It was a little-noticed event, but one that is emblematic of why Donald Trump has done such a good job outsmarting Hillary Clinton.

For all those voters out there confident in their decisions as they stroll into local polling places, we offer no further evidence of how mistaken many of these same voters have been in the past than Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller. It's easy for some Republicans to laugh him off as GOP comedy relief, but a lot of folks in the agricultural industry haven't been laughing since GOP primary voters in 2014 bypassed two eminently qualified Republican candidates and instead chose this rodeo cowboy to oversee our state's farming and ranching sectors.
After Yale University economist Robert Shiller this week signed a letter supporting Hillary Clinton, he explained that he normally doesn't engage in politics, but that "the destruction that Trump's campaign tactics have done to the institutions of this nation is a great moral issue." Morality and politics are complicated, even for Nobel Prize winners from the Ivy League.
Among tragic failures of the 2016 presidential campaign is the fact that, amidst talk lately of sabotaged emails, sex banter, Clinton Foundation conflicts of interest and empty Trump philanthropic gestures, serious discussion of foreign-policy issues facing the United States is trivialized if raised at all. No wonder.
He was already a controversial figure in the presidential campaign. His statement this summer, that Hillary Clinton had been "extremely careless" in handling her government email accounts, has been repeated endlessly in Donald Trump ads.
Washington County Board of Elections members were put in a tight spot last week, as they learned of charges against director Tara Hupp, who allegedly stole tens of thousands of dollars in her role as treasurer of the Marietta Tigers Booster Club.

Jurors in Virginia has found Rolling Stone magazine defamed a University of Virginia administrator in a now-debunked story about an alleged rape on campus. What the verdict shows is that the U.S.'s system of libel laws are appropriately balanced with the freedom of the press - and that calls from both presidential candidates to weaken at the First Amendment are baseless and even dangerous.
It's one thing to pledge to oppose policies you disagree with, or to investigate wrongdoing. It's bad enough to vow to block U.S. Supreme Court nominees , which Republicans are also doing.
After 1971's ratification of the 26th Amendment , which lowered the voting age to 18, voter turnout in this country dropped from 60.84 percent in 1968 to 55.21 percent in 1972. In subsequent years the percentage of Americans who cast a ballot has fluctuated, but never reached levels before the 26th Amendment.
