It’s hard to believe that a year ago I was watching a photographer shoot Sarah Palin on her dock in front of her Wasilla home for our cover story on her. And given the weather today — it’s 100+ degrees in Washington — a pleasant Alaska summer is looking pretty nice right now. TIME’s Feifei Sun has a look at Palin’s eventful year. An …

Endangered Senate?
Back in February I wrote about how the Republicans weren’t likely to take back the Senate this cycle. In order to really come within striking distance of the Democrats’ 10-seat advantage, I wrote, they’ve have to not only hold all their own seats and take Delaware, North Dakota, Nevada, Arkansas, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Indiana …

Palin Gears Up The Midterm Machine
Fresh off her re-election rally for John McCain in Arizona and Tea Party soirée in Searchlight, Sarah Palin is endorsing a trio of Iraq War veterans running for the House.

Deja Vu
If you happened to have turned on C-SPAN in the last half hour you may have noticed the Senate was full of senators but no vote going on. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid convened the upper chamber to try and get consensus on how to proceed after Senator Tom Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, objected to proceeding to a one-month extension …
