In a new report on the medical records of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, the New York Times’s Dr. Lawrence Altman wonders whether Sen. John McCain’s left-temple melanoma is more serious than reported. If it were reclassified as a Stage III cancer, it would “change his statistical odds for survival at 10 years from about 60 percent to 36 percent,” with his age and sex increasing the risk.
Freddie Mac secretly paid Republican consulting firm DCI $2 million in a bid to kill legislation three years ago that would have regulated and trimmed Freddie and Fannie Mae. DCI’s chief executive is Doug Goodyear, “whom John McCain’s campaign hired to manage the GOP convention in September.”
The Iraqi parliament’s largest political bloc has “called for all American troops to leave Iraq in 2011 as a condition for allowing the U.S. military to stay here beyond year’s end.” The bloc which includes Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Dawa party, also insists that Iraqis play a larger role “in determining whether U.S. soldiers accused of wrongdoing are subject to prosecution in Iraqi courts.”
52 percent: The share of Americans who said that John McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate “has made them less confident in the kind of decisions he’d make as president,” according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll. The percentage is up 13 points since just after Palin’s selection.
15 days to go: Barack Obama will kick off the first day of early voting in the state with rallies in Tampa and Orlando. John McCain is in Missouri, making stops in Columbia and the St. Louis and Kansas City areas.
Ed Lazear, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said yesterday “that parts of the country probably already are experiencing a recession and it could take a few months before the clogged credit system starts working again.” He “noted that national unemployment stands at 6.1 percent” but that some areas “have even higher rates of people out of work.”
Palin and her husband Todd will give separate depositions this week to an attorney for the Alaska Personnel Board, which is investigating whether Palin violated state ethics law when firing her public safety director. Earlier this month, a separate investigation by the state legislature found that Palin had “abused her power” by pushing State Police Commissioner Walt Monegan to fire her former brother-in-law.
60 Minutes reported on the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan last night. One soldier explained, “I thought it was gonna be a little bit quieter here. But we landed in a hornet’s nest when we got here.” Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Schlosser said bluntly, “I need more resources, more soldiers, and more assets.”
In a newly disclosed legal memo, the Bush administration claims sweeping authority to “bypass laws that forbid giving taxpayer money to religious groups that only hire staff members who share their faith.” One legal expert called the administration’s argument “a very big stretch.”
A study released today shows that “California’s energy-efficiency policies created nearly 1.5 million jobs from 1977 to 2007, while eliminating fewer than 25,000″ and raising employee compensation in the state by $44.6 billion. A Center for American Progress study showed that investing $100 billion over two years in a Green Recovery program would create 2 million new jobs.
And finally: Speaking at a Seattle fundraiser last night, Joe Biden expressed his love for musician Dave Matthews. “Dave Matthews, I want you to know, I’ve got more of your CDs, I’ve got more of the Dave Matthews Band than you could imagine since my kids were in college,” Biden said. “One of the dangerous things to do is come out on-stage after some talent like Dave Matthews stops singing.”

Another, Scott Horton, said:
“When sunlight touches these writings, they tend to turn to dust. Exposed to the sanitizing criticism of the public, of Congress, and of the legal profession, they are revealed for works of glaring hackery. No proposition is too preposterous that it cannot be advanced in an OLC memorandum these days. They are now taught in law schools around the country as models of substandard, unprofessional and incompetent legal work.”
[...]
“The OLC opinion is obviously false as a proposition of law—it squarely contradicts a series of Supreme Court holdings. But the more troubling aspect of the opinion is that it reeks of corruption.”

I’m surprised that Palin hasn’t started calling this investigation a “partisan witch hunt” because the personnel board appointed a Democrat as the investigator. But, since she started this investigation herself, I guess that she has very little room for complaint.
I wonder what she is going to have to say when this board finds her guilty too? “I’m so happy that the Personnel board found me innocent of any wrong doing?”

Although 52 percent of Americans now think McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin “has made them less confident in the kind of decisions he’d make as president,” Tucker Bounds pointed out that “logically” the ABC News/Washington Post poll results mean that 48 percent of Americans are more confident in the decisions McCain would make as president.
“And as you know,” he added, “Republicans frequently win with just 48 percent of votes, so Obama can just stop measuring for curtains”.

All I was able to find yesterday on an extensive search was that the Republicans attached a provision to the bill saying that Religious organizations would not be allowed to be involved in the Katrina cleanup. The Democrats were opposed to that. Considering Bush’s Faith Based Initiative I find that an odd thing for the Republicans to do unless they wanted all the contracts to go to their FOB’s.
In the end, though, it was Frist who killed the bill. He wouldn’t allow it to go to the floor for a vote.
I’m theorizing that the Democrats didn’t oppose the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, they were just trying to force the Republicans to take the provision out of the bill, then they would have voted for it. But, in the meantime Frist killed it. That’s all I was able to find out.
October 20th, 2008 at 9:35 amDemocrats did not like the harshest provision, which would have given a new regulator a mandate to shrink Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by forcing them to sell off part of their portfolios. That approach, the Democrats feared, would cut into the ability of low- and moderate-income families to buy houses.

October 20th, 2008 at 9:37 amDr. Lawrence Altman wonders whether Sen. John McCain’s left-temple melanoma is more serious than reported.
McCain will not release his medical records because the White House is his destiny, another layer of luxury that could be tacked onto his already luxurious life. McCain is calling to arms some of the worst people in America (ACORN: “destroying the fabric of democracy”) and they are launching death threats, e-mailing and phoning in extremely racist tirades, and vandalizing field offices. I read a sample of the emails sent to ACORN and the text of a voice message, they are disgustingly racist and earth-shattering vile.
Kudos to Colin Powell for summarizing perfectly the disaster that is the McCain campaign.
Next, if John McCain truly gave a damn about veterans, he could a) vote for legislation benefiting them instead of buffoonery attempts to poke holes in each opportunity, and b) properly pronounce the word “veterans”; it isn’t “vetrens.”

David Bender, on Air America yesterday had an interesting theory. This theory is that the Republicans knew, shortly after Palin hopped on the ticket, that there was very little chance the Republicans would win. So, his theory is that they are running this fear and smear campaign to try to damage Obama so badly that it will be difficult for him to govern once in office. I think they are seriously underestimating Obama’s ability to build consensus and bring people together.

If you read through the article you will find that the proposed regulations included greater restrictions on low-income loans, thus undermining a major function of Freddie and Fannie–which were of course being run by Bush loyalists–and that’s what the Dems objected to.
Hagel wanted more oversight because he knew about the sub-prime problem that was looming but restrictions were added by other GOPers to reduce the number of previously eligible people from getting affordable loans/mortgages).
October 20th, 2008 at 9:47 amFannie Mae and Freddie Mac were private companies with their own efforts to avoid legislation, am I correct? How is it that Dems = FaM/FrM? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac got into subprime loans late in the game anyway.

The other factor, as Alex Blumberg explained on This American Life last week, is that it wouldn’t have mattered much if the Democrats had voted for it or not. Even though the bill would’ve given the Bush-appointed regulator the power to oversee Fannie and Freddie, it doesn’t mean that the neo-Freidmanite would have actually used it.

Bill Clinton won by 7 points in 1996 and it was an electoral landslide? Does Senator Obama have to be ahead in 45 states to “close the deal”?
It’s because the talking heads are stupid, lazy and often have a vested interest in making the race appear as tight as possible (for some it’s a basic ratings/financial interest for others it helps the Republicans who can be counted on to then write lucrative legislation in their favor).
I forget where I read this first (someone on HuffPo about 4 months ago?) but it’s easy to confirm on one’s own: Historically just a 5% national lead typically translates to an approx. 100 EV margin of victory.

October 20th, 2008 at 10:07 amI, too, have wondered about Obama’s inability to “close the deal” and I realize that the media must speak in terms of keeping the horse race going as a matter of self-preservation and justification for their own existence.
Elections that are won by more than a couple of percentage points are now called landslides — Obama is ahead by an average of 5 points or so, but to call it a landslide would be premature and presumptuous.
We do have to worry about voter fraud (not voter registration fraud as the repugs are accusing ACORN) and those stories of electronic machines “flipping” votes from D to R are disturbing.
If fraud is indeed able to steal the election for McCain, the media are covered because they could say Obama “never closed the deal.”
Amen Zooey.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:08 amObama Camp Seeks Special Prosecutor on Acorn Inquiries
Seeking to portray law enforcement investigations into reports of fraudulent voter registrations in several states as an extension of the controversial firings of United States attorneys, the Obama campaign on Friday called for a review by a special prosecutor.
Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, sent a letter to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Nora R. Dannehy, who is investigating the attorney firings, requesting that Ms. Dannehy also look into the whether F.B.I. investigations of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, were politically motivated.
In a conference call with reporters on Friday, Mr. Bauer suggested that there was “an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics.”
“There is ample reason for us to be concerned about Republican involvement and we believe this ought to be included in the special prosecutor’s mandate,” Mr. Bauer said.
Mr. Bauer spoke to reporters after the McCain campaign manager Rick Davis stepped up his attacks on Acorn on Friday, saying that reports of fraudulent voter registrations cast a “cloud of suspicion,” over the election.
In his letter, Mr. Bauer wrote:
I request that Special Prosecutor Dannehy’s inquiry include a review of any involvement by Justice Department and White House officials in supporting the McCain-Palin campaign and the Republican National Committee (“RNC”)’s systematic development and dissemination of unsupported, spurious allegations of vote fraud. It is highly likely that the very sort of politically motivated conduct identified in the Department’s investigation to date, necessitating the appointment of a Special Prosecutor, is repeating itself, and for the same reason: unwarranted and politically motivated intervention in the upcoming election. An investigation must be entrusted to government officials who do not have an improper political motivation or a conflict of interest, either in fact or appearance.
Privately law enforcement officials have said that the F.B.I. inquiries in several states into the fraudulent voter registration cards did not amount to a national investigation. Just today, another lawsuit was filed in Pennsylvania.
A spokesman for the McCain campaign, Ben Porritt, responded to the Obama team’s letter by saying that it represented an attempt to “criminalize political discourse.”
“Today’s outrageous letter to Attorney General Mukasey and Special Prosecutor Dannehy at the Justice Department asking for a special prosecutor to investigate Senator McCain and Governor Palin’s public statements about ACORN’s record of fraudulent voter registrations (including in this week’s Presidential debate) is absurd,” Mr. Porritt said in a statment. “It is a typical time-worn Washington attempt to criminalize political differences.”

**I waited all weekend for TP to post an article about this but they never did. I know this broke late Friday afternoon but it really received little coverage. I am heartened that Obama is finally not taking the traditional Dem position of playing the victim – doing a lot of whining and verbal protesting – and actually doing something about it BEFORE the election. The repuke position of Dems “playing politics” is no big surprise. Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann were fabulous in their responses to this story on Friday!

Jacoby allegedly registered himself at his childhood home in Los Angeles, even though he no longer lives there. It is voter fraud to register if ineligible and perjury to provide false information on a voter registration card. Jacoby was charged with two counts of each relating to his 2006 and 2007 registration.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Jacoby’s firm was paid $7 to $12 by the CRP for each GOP voter registration signature, but dozens of voters who signed on said they were duped into registering as Republicans and thought they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters.

Questions have been asked where did all the money go. We have our answer it went to the Republican Party. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the GOP and robbed blind. Even Henry aka Hank Paulson quickly got his Mother a very loan interest rate for her home in Chicago before the collapse because he knew the bottom was about to fall.
This Administration will continue to run up the debt and get more money until Jan 20th. By then the debt should be 53 Trillion dollars and Obama/Biden will have to clean it up. If they don’t do it in 4 years Republicans will come back and say it was the Democrats who destoryed the US Economy. Right now McCain says since the Democrats won in Congress corrupt started. I guess he thinks we forgot about the 2000 -2006 Republican Congress that gave Bush a blank check with no questions asked.
