It's Not Just Iraq

Nov. 1 - In 2004, foreign policy—not domestic economic issues—have
been front and center in the presidential campaign, more so than at
anytime since the Vietnam war. But both Bush and Kerry have devoted
most of their energies to the Iraq debate, only sporadically
mentioning other key global concerns. Sifting through the fragmentary
evidence, here's a scorecard on how a second Bush administration and a
Kerry administration would differ—or not—in dealing with a broad range
of foreign policy questions:

Nov. 1 - Attempting to head off the kind of voting irregularities that
threw the 2000 election into chaos, Florida voting officials announced
today that the state's presidential contest would be determined by a
"show of hands."
Three Days in Ohio

Our columnist, tired of sitting out the election in solidly blue New
York, goes to the swinging Buckeye State to make a stand. Can one man
make a difference? Not really.

CINCINNATI -- Nov. 1 - From the airport to downtown Cincinnati is just
a 10-minute drive. And in that time, you'll hear anywhere from four to
six political ads, each bristling with oversimplified attacks and
outlandish countercharges. Yes, Ohio is superheated with the 2004
election—but even a reporter of my limited skills could sense fairly
quickly that this state just wants to be left alone. The first Ohioan
I met took one look at my East Coast good looks, earnest mien and LICK
BUSH button, and told me that he had put up a sign on his front lawn:
NO POLITICKING/NO PROSELYTIZING.

Jimmy Carter on the vituperative state of American politics, his
latest book—and what advice he would offer the next president
WEB EXCLUSIVE

Nov. 2 - At 80, former president Jimmy Carter remains an active
humanitarian—and a prolific writer. His Revolutionary War novel, "The
Hornet's Nest" (Simon & Schuster) was released in paperback last
month; his 19th book, a recollection of relaxing times spent with
friends and family called "The Things that Matter Most" (Simon &
Schuster) will be out next month. At the same time, he remains a keen
political analyst. He spoke to NEWSWEEK's Eleanor Clift about the
lessons of war and how politics have changed in the three decades
since he won the presidency.
Battle of the Battlegrounds

The swing states are vying for the title of The Next Florida. Do they
really want to win it?

Nov. 2 - For many months in this eternal general election, several
battleground states have vied for the title of The Next Florida.
Pennsylvania has been a strong contender throughout (a particular
favorite of the Bush campaign), while Wisconsin has launched a
late-breaking bid for the award. Still, it's Ohio that believes it has
a lock on the TNF title. Its Republican secretary of state, Kenneth
Blackwell, has even encouraged comparisons with 2000 Florida
counterpart Katherine Harris—a shameless bid for the MVP award in the
TNF contest.

Nov. 2 - For a sign of how fired up Florida's voters are on Election
Day, consider Eddie Denson. He arrived at First Methodist Church of
South Miami at 5 a.m.—two hours before the polls opened—as a half-moon
gleamed in the velvet night. "I didn't want to be caught in line,"
said Denson, 42, a law-enforcement officer. "I have to get to work
shortly."

Nov. 2 - Just 72 hours ago, Boston was awash in red, the epicenter of
the baseball universe. Today the city is adjusting to an abrupt color
change—Yankee blue on everybody's election map. The state's
unquestionable support for the Democratic candidate has made us
totally irrelevant to the drama of this historic Election Day
showdown.
