It probably still won’t happen before Monday, but they are working on it. What do you know! McCain does appear to be operating to get the third choice; not Bush’s, and not Obama’s or the Democrats: (more…)

Economic Bailout
They said they would be working through the weekend. I checked today, Saturday, at 3:00 PM PT. “H.R.2638”, “Making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes”, had passed. No other Nay or Yey votes so far. (more…)
When Life as We Know it, Ends

A funny thing happened on the way to the debate. Some guy name Paulson told some other folks that life as we know it was about to come to an end, and pretty soon, with no credit, we’d all be back to the barter system or the gold standard or some darn thing.
Folks was gonna be living hand to mouth and lucky to have a job, and forget livin’ to be old, ‘cause you know, we’d probably starve by then with no 401K. So Paulson told some people called senators all about this, and boy! Was there a stir! So them senators got together and figured a senator’s gotta do, what a senator’s gotta do! You know, the thing they got hired to do in the first place, cogitate and say Yea! Or Nay!
Obama-McCain Debate Suspended! Or?

-UPDATE-
Take a trip to the store and stuff changes. The first AP article said, despite the title, that the suspension was Obama’s idea. However, the SFGate now is indicating that Obama wants to have the debate on Friday. See:
Obama rejects McCain’s call to delay debate
By BETH FOUHY, Associated Press Writer
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
(09-24) 16:03 PDT NEW YORK, (AP) —
[The economic crisis and raw politics threatened to derail the first presidential debate as John McCain challenged Barack Obama to delay the Friday forum and join forces to help Washington fix the financial mess. Obama rebuffed his GOP rival, saying the next president needs to “deal with more than one thing at once.”…]

I really can’t tell from this whose idea it was but, see this:
McCain campiagn asks to suspend debate to focus on economy
12:34 PM PDT on Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Associated Press
Republican John McCain said Wednesday he is directing his staff to work with Democrat Barack Obama’s campaign and the presidential debate commission to delay Friday’s debate because of the economic crisis.

I don’t know about you, but a one person debate sounds more like a speech to me. How will this drama play out? I just heard from PocPuma that even Rendell thinks it a good idea to take care of business! And really, can you get any more snarky, then over the “deal with more than one thing at once” comment? They are both senators first after all! Interesting maneuvering going on.

What BostonBoomer said:
Was the debate schedule gamed for Obama too?
Posted on September 23, 2008 by bostonboomer
We now know that the DNC did everything in their power to make sure Barack Obama would be the Democratic nominee for President. Never mind what the voters wanted, this is the year the DNC decided to nominate a black man. Anyone who thought Hillary Clinton was the better candidate was screamed at, called a racist, and told to either stand aside or get out of the Party. The DNC even scheduled their convention so the winner would accept the nomination on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Accident? I don’t think so.
So, this is an interesting juxtaposition to the recent AP survey on race, the reports on the HIV crisis, Katrina rebuilding, and unemployment.
We surely know by now that McCain will fight and must have a plan as well. What might be his reasoning for agreeing to this location choice? Who would be his audience? (more…)

Good question Ted, maybe we SHOULD revisit a psychological reason:
By Ted Widmer, Sunday, September 21, 2008; Page B01
After a nerve-rattling week in which the U.S. financial system was shaken to the core, here’s a simple question: Why on Earth would anyone want to be president right now?

Aftershocks: When a New President Inherits a Mess
Monday, Sept. 22, 2 p.m.
ET: Outlook: No White House Honeymoon
[Even in the best of times, it’s a grueling job. But the problems of 2008 seem unusually intractable, and despite the fine talk one sometimes hears about reconciliation, the electorate will be divided no matter who wins in November. Even Bush’s snarkiest critics would have had trouble predicting all the rough weather of the second term, from Hurricane Katrina to the smoldering wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the bursting of the housing bubble, the financial meltdown and the Recession That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Would any sane person want to inherit this?…]

The AP Yahoo Survey on Race

Why government statistics are a better thing than this, and we go ’round in circles.
-Update: apparently Paul Sniderman was involved in at least helping to score the survey. It still isn’t clear whether he helped develop it, although he has ages of experience in teaching race relations. His name runs back to the Clinton years with his first book, “The Scar of Race” published in 1993.-
Riverdaughter has a good blog on her view of the recent AP Yahoo survey pontificated upon in Politico. She refers to Politico’s take in the link below:
The AP is working for the Republicans
Posted on September 21, 2008 by riverdaughter
[How else do we explain the AP-Yahoo study that purports to show that one third of Democrats will not vote for Obama because of his race. Only 59% of Clintonistas will vote for Obama (Really? We’ve been that successful?! Alright! {{high-fives all around}}). So there must be a correlation between the reluctance of these former Hillary people and their prejudices….]

The USA is currently unable to democratically elect a presidential candidate!
Voting has already begun in places like Virginia, and other states are still trying to register voters, yet we are just getting ready to have our first debate on Friday between McCain and Obama. I turn your attention to this recent article:

Democrats- John McCain gets something and you still don’t!
Not hooked up, in line, beaming in, or otherwise whiz banged? The McCain Campaign has been sending a message. Just like Clinton did, McCain has been putting out campaign ads for the last two weeks to the folks with regular TV.
You know who those folks are, the 30-40% of the population, who get up early in the morning to watch the news, the folks who can’t afford the extras, or just don’t like to pay for what’s offered, the folks who are worried about the economy and VOTE?
They’ve been running these ads in my neighborhood. We are near Travis Air Force Base, in California. Except for Clinton’s and the local runs, we NEVER get campaign ads.
We aren’t even a contested state, are we?
