Hillary Clinton campaigning in Scranton for Obama-Biden:
She said the Clinton presidency rebuilt the economy after the disaster of George Bush the First. Now, with President Obama, “America once again will rise from the ashes of the Bushes.”
She was on fire. Amazing speech.

From Republicans for Obama: FBi Bill Ayers: funded by Republicans. Apparently the Annenberg Foundation has been hanging with terrorists too. Who knew?
The Bill Ayers I know. From a friend and colleague.
Obama didn’t lie about Bill Ayers, but McCain did
Chicago Sun Times: 10 things to know about Bill Ayers
10. Are all former alleged terrorists/radicals shunned?
No. Former IRA bomber Gerry Adams is welcomed at the White House as a peacemaker. Former PLO leader Yasser Arafat was too. Former Students for a Democratic Society member and Ayers friend Tom Hayden was elected to the California State Assembly. Former Black Panther Bobby Rush is a congressman representing Chicago, as is former Puerto Rican independence activist Luis Gutierrez.
The only reason McCain keeps attacking Ayers is because the Republicans have no ideas, no clue, and are losing more support everyday. It’s a nasty, cynical, despicable ploy - and happily, it is backfiring, sending even more voters to Obama. After eight years of this kind of sick campaigning and attack ads based on lies (just like their war was), the country badly needs a change. And it looks like we will be getting it too. It’ll be nice to have a centrist in the White House again rather than the poisonous ideologues who inhabit it now, and who McCain is simply a continuation of, if not more extreme.

Palin is controversial even in Alaska, her popularity is sinking there as her unfavorable rating soars nationwide. One reason: Her extremist ties.

If McCain is elected, Canada and Mexico will be forced to build border fences.

Lehman: One big derivatives mess
Enron may look tame compared with this: a fight over billions of dollars posted as collateral, then used in a tangled web of deals
Lehman used incoming money from deals as collateral in other deals. Which is legal, but they were way over-extended. Now it’s blown up, money is missing, and the lawsuits are piling up.
In the beginning, no one thought Enron execs would go to prison. But they did.
(As for the photoshopped image of Karl Rove being arrested, well, hope springs eternal.)
