I hope he takes the "I'll guve repeat the stump speeches and sound bites" gloves OFF. He needs to get down and tell us what HIS ideas will mean for us. He needs to connect the policy dots. He is bad id reciting "I have voted ...." or my policy is.... We don't get that.

His comeback for voting for why we MUST INVEST 700B+ into the market is to SAVE the COUNTRY. Just like D Roosevelt did in his GREAT WORKS program for America. The country INVESTED in saving the country--food for the people, jobs, schools (not "education"-too big a concept), grocery stores,gas stations, doctor's clinics, etc. Cut the "main st." talk. That is foreign language to us.

Considering the dirt in the McCain's closed, this my not have been such a well drawn out strategy.

Between the Keating Association, and Cindy McCain's federal drug case, things are a little loose in the McCain's house.

Throw in that a VP Runing Mate who's often acknowledged the Alaskia Independence Party, but sending in video greetings and her Husband's membership this can back fire.

Palin's support of the movement to have Alaska seceed from the United States seems rather odd being she's in the position she's in, I mean where does her loyalities lie exactly?

Then their is the infamous "I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions." by Joe Vogler, Founder of the AIP.

On top of that there's the African Witch Doctor Palin used to "lay hands' on her, this Rev Ku-Fee is responsible for generating a Mob to run a women out of a village in Kenya. Classic terriorism. There's no much room to stand on from the McCain party, maybe this wasn't thought out properly.

Criminal Activity in Congress, Obtaining Illegal Drugs, A Witch Doctor, and Laying Hands, this sounds like a medevil motorcycle gang selling meth.

McCain should start by asking Obama what his mentor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, meant when he stated, in his rant, at the National Press Club that "Barack Obama is a politician and he will say anything to get himself elected".

It is time for Obama to explain his policies in detail!

He can save the country, however. He can re-mix FDR's New Deal for today. Oldersters will get on board, jobs,$$, overseas relationships will improve. btw, has anybody talked about what we are going to do in a bad economy with no jobs and all those vets coming home right away as obama wants? where are they going to work? what services are they going to need? all their college bills being paid by us?

You know anything can happen. But the odds aren't in McCain's favor.All I have seen from his side is lies, smears and fear tactics. Nothing said about the issues that matter to people. If he can articulate what his vision is and how it will benefit the country over what Obama has to offer, he has a fighting chance. But if it is I was a Pow, and change is coming, and he is a maverick , and obama is a muslim and or terrorist yada, yada, yada, then he might as well hang it up.

We are going to get the cash from all those CEO, confiscate all their Expensive toys and throw them in the clammer time to give America back to the People. If you don't agree with that you must be one of them.

Well, that comment says a lot. You're basically saying let's let them keep dying because I don't want my pocketbook hurt. Typical Republican response.

the economy is hurting only in your own heads.
that is why it is eventually called a DEPRESSION

the current "crisis" is a criminal agenda designed for the tax-payer to bail out corporate executives who profited from selling mortgages to anyone and everyone that can sign the paperwork.

the economy is going to continue to tank...
why?

because bailing out the rich is bad for the majority of the the working class who now... MENTALLY... have to pay for the banks to be bailed out...

Obama voted against the bail out in the first vote... but in reality... with all the lies and threats that Bush said on national TV. it would have been hard for ANY politician to fully be against this bailout...

history will tell.
the last 8 years will go down as the worst administration in US history... our grand-kids are going to be feeling this one.

It would be nice if the MEDIA would take off the gloves when investigating Obama!

The biased media treats him like he is perfect...the next Jesus Christ.

Just try and find a negative article on Obama in the main stream media...it doesn't exist. Right now on CNN...there are two anti-McCain articles AND two PRO-Obama articles.

If the media would be truthful and fair...and if people saw the real Obama...they would be changing their minds.

If people would educate themselves on McCain and Obama, they would see Obama has NO experience in Federal government and has not accomplished ANYTHING except writing books about himself. Obama is a typical politician...he promises the world to the (uneducated) voter and delivers nothing.

If Obama is elected...he won't be able to deliver anything because he will be beholden to special interest groups...how else do you think he is going to "repay" the $600 million dollars that he has collected?

Maybe the media isn't biased but DOES know the truth and McCain comes out being the worse of the two.

I hope he will be ready to explain his long term relationship to ACORN. Including the massive amounts of money he gave them to "get out the vote," or in Chicago "Committ massive voter fraud."

State to review Palin per diem payments

By BRETT J. BLACKLEDGE
The Associated Press

Published: October 7th, 2008 03:36 PM
Last Modified: October 7th, 2008 03:36 PM

Gov. Sarah Palin's practice of charging the state when she stays in her home must be reviewed to determine if she should pay taxes on the payments, state Finance Director Kim Garnero said today.

Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, released two years' worth of tax returns last week that did not list the per diem payments she received since becoming Alaska governor in December 2006. She collected nearly $17,000 during that period for 312 nights spent in her Wasilla home, about an hour's drive from Anchorage, according to state travel records
