Phil Gramm is McCain’s chief economic adviser and was one of the chief architects of the deregulation of the banking industry that helped get us into the mortgage crisis.

Glenn Smith, one of Texas’ most plugged in politicos, has posted a piece on MyDD laying out Clinton’s reasoning for wanting to sue Texas over the delegate selection.

McCain trying to get back at Obama today: McCain criticized Obama for saying in Tuesday night’s Democratic debate that, after U.S. troops were withdrawn, as president he would act “if al-Qaida is forming a base in Iraq.” “I have some news. Al-Qaida is in Iraq. It’s called `al-Qaida in Iraq,’” McCain told a crowd in […]
George Bush yesterday: President Bush predicted Monday that voters will replace him with a Republican president who will “keep up the fight” in Iraq. “I’m confident we’ll hold the White House in 2008,” Bush told donors at the Republican Governors Association annual dinner, which raised a record $10.6 million for GOP gubernatorial candidates. “And I […]
