Denver police during the Democratic National Convention

Along with my columns on the candidates, I've written a series of columns about the political conventions and poltical process itself. You might have read some of these essays before, yet you may find value in reviewing the seven best columns I've published since August about the 2008 election. I've presented the columns in a logical order that I hope will be useful to you as a voter.

Protesters and Cops at the Democratic National Convention
Downtown Denver became a virtual police state during the DNC. In case you missed thsi column, please go back to read these comments from eye-witnesses. Kindly bear in mind, however, that Denver police now seem restrained compared to the attacks on protesters in St. Paul a week later at the Republican convention.

Beyond Convention: Speaking truth to power in new documentary on the DNC
While clearly more radical in outlook than my own views, regardless of your own political persuasion, this documentary on the protests at the DNC is a must-see, in my opinion.

Lessons of Peace and Spirituality from the DNC
In contrast to the angry demonstrations at the Democratic National Convention, Meditate '08 offered a serene refuge from the craziness on the streets. Here is the video news report I anchored for Denver station KGNU.

New Orleans Escapes Gustav Flooding, Yet GOP Convention Remains Submerged
With a major hurricane bearing down on the gulf coast, Republicans delayed the start of the convention and then muted the rhetoric in deferrence to the natural disaster. Do you remember the scene?

I Don't Like Ike, Yet Thanks for a Reality Check
After Hurricane Gustav came Hurricane Ike. With the Republicans calling for more off-shore oil drilling, with major storms shutting down the drilling platforms, I raise the question about burning fossil fuels causing the global warming making hurricanes more severe than ever.

Ten tips to evaluate the presidential debate.
The debates are over now, of course, and the poltical ads are almost done (thank Heaven), yet this guide to analyzing political rhetoric may proove useful after the election when whomever wins begins pitching their policy proposals to us.

Brad Friedman: The single most important interview you may hear before the election
Democrats and Republicans and third parties all need to be alarmed about serious problems with the electronic voting systems that endanger fair and honest elections. I believe everyone needs to hear this important interview (on my radio talk show) with one of the nation's foremost experts on elections integrity issues.
