Breakfast TV Swooning Heads:
WOW! America has a new Idol and she's named Sarah Palin! She went out there a church choir singer from a small town and came back a star!! She just made that whole show her OWN! She did a medley of brand-new tunes we know are going to be monster hits. "Winkin' At Ya." "Your White Flag of Surrender." "There Ya Go Agin, Doggone It." And, best of all, 'We're Just a Coupla Mavericks in Love." She nailed all the top notes fantastically. She showed such stellar confidence, so that a couple of weeks of being a little "off" didn't matter. She grooved with the house band, and her appeal is definitely Nashville/Memphis. That's her niche, but it's a huge mainstream one. She is gonna fill stadiums and dominate the C & W charts for a long,long time. It's that folksy-sexy mom appeal that just effin kills, man!
The runner-up was a little pitchy at times and his two numbers "Four More Years" and "Those Are the Facts" just didn't rock the house. He seemed a little lacking in the kind of starpower Sarah brought to the show, so his groove is definitely classic rock, but that market is definitely not "hot" and in fact it's drying up. It's a limited niche. He just didn't make the show his own, like the winner did. He could probably have a decent career playing Ramada Inns in the Northeast, but that's about it. He's OK, if you want to get into a nostalgia groove, but there's nothing there to get any crowds excited. He's just not American Idol material.

Maybe he could get it out of Christopher Cox's Newport hide.....
In other words, for every dollar in equity, it had $33 of debt. The ratios at the other firms also rose significantly. The 2004 decision for the first time gave the S.E.C. a window on the banks’ increasingly risky investments in mortgage-related securities. But the agency never took true advantage of that part of the bargain.
The supervisory program under Mr. Cox, who arrived at the agency a year later, was a low priority. The commission assigned seven people to examine the parent companies — which last year controlled financial empires with combined assets of more than $4 trillion. Since March 2007, the office has not had a director. And as of last month, the office had not completed a single inspection since it was reshuffled by Mr. Cox more than a year and a half ago. The few problems the examiners preliminarily uncovered about the riskiness of the firms’ investments and their increased reliance on debt — clear signs of trouble — were all but ignored. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/03/business/03se...

Conservative columnist Kathleen Parker pretty much gave up on Sarah Palin September 26 when she said the governor "Is Clearly Out Of Her League."
Tonight didn't change her mind:
"Well, darn it all, if that dadgum girl (wink, wink) didn't beat the tarnation out of Joe Biden. .........She did her homework, studied hard, and delivered with spunk. Still, I had the uneasy feeling throughout that I was witnessing a data dump from a very appealing droid."

I think it is funny that Paln repeatedly said that Biden was always looking at the past..always blaming Bush. Then she would turn around and quote Reagan as if her accusation was never made. But isn't that what the Republicans like to do? They consistently blame Clinton and Carter for all the problems in the world.

The morning after, I wake to find I'm thinking of the entirety of the Palin responses as one, large, amorphous mass of cotton candy. Her handlers took her to Sedona and, to prep her for the VP debate, taught her one, single fuzzy-around-the-edges master answer she could apply to any question. All she'd have to do is rotate it a few degrees and spit out another chewy, sugary blob of it.
What really galls me is that I actually expected her to answer - or attempt to answer - the actual questions put before her. Having seen the entire McCain campaign, in enter-the-Matrix style, blithely create a reality out of spin and lies, I should have known that she would merely swat away like so many annoying flies those questions requiring more than a quarter inch of personal integrity, depth of understanding, or expertise grounded in seasoned governance.

Look more at their respective track records. McCain has little-to-no positive history of advancing or even ratifying same-sex rights of any kind. Obama grew up knowing a "pair of uncles" and has long championed same-sex rights. I'm pretty confident that McCain/Palin are saying what they think will at least pacify LGBT voters [fat chance], and that Obama/Biden are touting the most conservative affirmation of same-sex rights so as to not disenfranchise independents and waffling GOP voters.
But once in office...? I bet they do a heckuva lot more for LGBT rights than they're currently stating.

What makes you think that they will do more? The political mine-field of being a new president would prevent this. It will be interesting what happens in California. I would be interested in knowing what both sides think of "don't ask, don't tell". I would also be interested in what both sides think of DOMA and adoption (since HRC is banging McCain over the head with his support of it and Obama has not come out with a position on these issues.). I am just unconvinced that either side really will shake things up. What is interesting is that Biden in this debate likened gay issues this to a civil rights cause. This is something that traditionally-defined civil rights groups have been loathe to do fearing that their causes would be lumped in and defeated.

Just finding what happens in California "interesting" will not advance the cause. Everyone, EVERYWHERE, who believes in equality should be donating as much money as they can to the groups opposing the constitutional amendment!

I would love to think that Obama/Biden say that to keep the middle-of-the-road people, then once in office press to extend even more rights to GLBT Americans. Personally, I wish we'd just go to a civil certificate for an "official" marriage for everyone. Then if someone feels the need for the whole religion thing they are free to do that. I've married twice, both times by a judge. It's so crazy: two atheists can be married by a judge and are just as "married" in this country as Billy and Ruth Graham. No inconsistencies here, move along....

CNN’s Anderson Cooper said, “On equal rights for gays and lesbians, it came off as if she actually supports the same policies as Obama and Biden do, which is just factually not the case.” Paul Begala agreed: “She seemed to say she supported the Biden-Obama position that we should all treat all Americans equally. That would be a radical step for Republicans.”

In fact, Reagan was not warning about a general lack of vigilance about freedom, he was warning what would happen if Medicare was enacted.

After disastrous interviews the Republicans set the stage for low expectations for Palin. Morning Joe talking heads, including Chcuk Todd, are saying she won because she didn't mess up!

Starting to question McCain's mental fitness
McCain's interviews have become increasingly angry, hostile and unhinged. He seems to be on the verge of some kind of mental collapse. A big part of McCain's erratic behavior is due to Obama having gotten deep, deep, deep inside his head. If McCain's brain was x-rayed, it would reveal Obama sitting comfortably upon McCain's cerebral peduncles. But, it is more than that. I believe McCain's increasing instability is being caused by the stress of the campaign and his 72 year old body not being able to get the rest that it requires to function properly. That isn't ageism—that is a simple fact of life. I wondered how McCain, being in advanced years, would respond under the grueling pace of a general election. I think we are all beginning to find out and it really isn't a pretty site. He is on the verge of some kind of mental collapse.

Palin was great at recitation. It seems all she wanted to do last night is regurgitate her talking points, before she forgot them. There was absolutely NO depth or thoughtful answers, just Palin spewing lines she was carefully coached to say. That is why she did not answer directly to questions, but kept jumping over to unrelated topics. I saw her constantly having an amused look, and misrepresenting Obama and Biden's position on various issues. She was sarcastic, and basically unpresidential.
"But seriously, what the hell was she talking about last night. I defy anyone to find a truly coherent, well reasoned answer to any question"

She had notes with headings. If the question was economy. She had her talking points. If it was Iraq she had talking points. Every once in a while she would throw in the Maverick. Her performance was no different than with Couric. The difference was that Gwen Ilfill was a moron. She never kept her on point, never followed up to clarify and frankly didn't do her job at all. The complete bullshit that the McCain camp raised about her bias was just that bullshit. Palin basically was like a GPS. Give directions, give directions, the unit however doesn't operate without the satellite information. She had nothing to guide her but her notes and they ended up to be repetitive, pre chewed and when necessary spit out in whatever order she wanted. This wasn't a debate since she spouted the vitriol of the right towards liberals and did not have any sense of history of McCain's 26 years of doing nothing. Palin is incompetent and without any substance.

'mid all the necessary focus on the election, progressives need to weigh in with real solutions for Obama's transition team who're facing sh.t when (hope, fight, work) we win. Standard centrist solutions are NOT going to be enough to revive the economy. I'm looking for a progressive policy idea post where Obama's rhetoric re a bottom up campaign of ideas can be made real. This election is looking more and more like 1932 - and like FDR, Barack needs intellectual capital. Soo.. Since the country's going to be broke and in hock to Beijing what about a NATIONAL SERVICE INCOME TAX ALTERNATIVE? Propose to RAISE fed. taxes in a steeply progressive slope to 90% BUT, citizens could CHOOSE to be taxed at 15% (approx.) flat IF you voluntier for National Service. The country is HUNGRY for a call for mutual citizen sacrifice (Bush's missed opportunity post-9/11, the citizen response to Katrina etc. etc.) The most effective AND egalitarian mobilization of the nation happened in WWII when we UNITED to smash facism. Service priorities (Education, infrastructure rebuilding, Green transition, health care etc.) to be set by Congress in open debate. National Service principles: 1. Every citizen's service time is equally valued (helps take $ influence out of politics) 2.Devolve to lowest possible level so every town, county state etc. gets to debate its National Service time/work budget (revives the relevance of local participatory democracy. 2. Toughest/most important/crappiest work earns the best Service time vs. $tax credit. i.e. 4hrs week in your local classroom vs a year in the inner city. 3.
