Obama made the gesture last night of crossing the aisle to say hello to his opponent: He [Obama] walked over to where McCain was chatting with Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida and Independent Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. And he stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain. McCain shook it, […]
Sen. Shelby, the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, just told Rachael Maddow that he has a letter signed by 200 of the top economists in the country and they are begging for Congress to not rush into this plan. I think that is a very interesting point that should not fall upon deaf […]
John McCain has been very vocal on reducing taxes for big oil. I wonder how this plays into it: “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would […]
Actually all Democrats running for Congress received an endorsement from John McCain today, as well as all Democrats running for Governor. Why? It’s simple if you think about it.

It’s cold, raining and thundering. Besides that, the early reports are showing a very high turn out in Southern Ohio, plus a large number changing their party, mostly from Republican to Democrat. I wonder if that’s a Limbaugh effect? This part of Ohio is one area Obama has been polling ahead of Clinton.
Our “slowing down” economy. The dollar is now near record lows. Remember though – the economy is cyclical. It just so happens those cycles always seems to hit when a Republican is in the White House.
And the RNC crime family looses another one: Representative Rick Renzi, a Republican from Arizona, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in an alleged scheme to profit from a land deal. Renzi, 49, announced in August that he wasn’t seeking re- election. He was first elected to the House in 2002. Two others […]
