By Joseph P. Tartaro With just [days] left in the longest presidential campaign in American history, the road to the White House appears to run through fewer than 10 states.

6:01pm Monday, October 27, 2008
By Chad D. Baus Barack Obama has voted for or supported some of the most extreme gun control measures ever attempted in our nation.

12:05am Monday, October 27, 2008
