So just what is the Bush doctrine, anyways? Today on The Lunch, Rob and Will review Sarah Palin's first-ever, nationally televised interview. From foreign policy to national security, there were plenty of surprises.

It's the final day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. Today the Political Lunch team looks at last night's speeches by Biden and Bill (Clinton), and preview tonight's main attraction.

Today's Lunch includes a look at the top campaign news stories rounding out the week (how many houses do YOU own?), plus a preview of coverage from the Democratic Convention next week in Denver.

Barack's on vacation, so this week should be all McCain, all the time. But then of course, a former democratic candidate stepped into the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Today on The Lunch, find out why the Edwards affair was the worst-kept campaign secret.

Could Karl Rove be the savior of the McCain campaign, or does he epitomize all that's wrong with American politics? ALSO: Why did Obama cancel that visit with wounded troops?

For snack today, Will looks at two groups that have weighed-in on the issue of a troop withdrawal timetable: VoteVets.org and VetsforFreedom.org

100 DAYS TO GO! I know, we can't believe it either! As for the news, today John McCain is trying to explain-away comments he made about Obama's Iraq plan in an interview last week.

John McCain claims the media's in love with Barack Obama. Is there any truth to that, or is McCain just grumpy that his golf-cart photo-op was upstaged by Obama's ride in the King's Benz. (No idea what we're talking about? Watch today's Lunch!)

Today's Lunch kicks off with an unexpected gift for Barack Obama from the Iraqi Prime Minister. Does this make Obama's trip a success, or could he still stumble as the tour continues to Europe? And why could breaking with the White House actually hurt McCain this time?

Lots of numbers in today's Political Lunch 10-in-3, including $52 million for Barack Obama, 300 foreign policy experts, 4600 signatures for Hillary, and much more!
