I mean - - 400 pages? Really.

I read that the House is going to vote in favor, not that they are happy, but they are getting calls and e-mails from people, such as from Oregan, where contracts are being held up and loans are not being promised.

I think if, which of course I would want, McCain would address what he would continue doing to better the bill after he is in office, that would be a good thing.

Sadly, my rep voted yes.

I called his office again today and left a message strongly urging him to vote no on Friday. What is Newt saying? I haven't heard his name in some time.

He said that 70% of the problem would work itself out if we suspended the Mark to Market. I see that is in the new bill.

He also thinks we should fire Paulson and I listened to McCain on that. Basically, he knew it not best to keep things in panic mode by saying he would listen to those advising him on the Paulson issue and that he has done a good job.

He's really saying he will fire him.

You can go here to read and listen to Newt Gingrich.

They are calling this "The Fix Is In" by MSM propping up Obama and being in the dumpsters in Arizona and Alaska looking for anything to tank the Republicans. Refusing to to go anywhere negative with Obama.

WASHINGTON (Associated Press) -- Barack Obama has surged to a seven-point lead over John McCain one month before the presidential election, lifted by voters who think the Democrat is better suited to lead the nation through its sudden financial crisis, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that underscores the mounting concerns of some McCain backers.

Thanks for the article. It shows, from AP, a typical "The Fix Is In".

I find it interesting that McCain leads 74% to 24% among those who say that national security is the highest priority.

I have never been of the opinion, regardless of the news, that the economy is the edge here. People know that the economy is going to work itself out. Intelligent people do. How many uneducated people vote? National Security will need a strong leader. We have no economy if we don't have a strong leader on the National Security issue.

After reviewing the McCain/Obama debates I came away with a stronger sense of the strength of McCain. Many things were overlooked as "points" that McCain made.

One example was Obama trying to align McCain with the Bush Administration when he said something about he didn't have to look at the "soul" of Putin That was a statement used by Bush saying he looked in the eye and getting a sense of Putin's soul.

McCain turned that around and said, "I looked in Putin's eyes and saw KGB." He again, distanced himself from the Bush Administration.

That was a smart and calculated move on McCain's part. He's a sharp man.

Lots of things being missed. McCain is comfortable in who he is and what he does.

McCain is sharp and some things are being missed, but many are catching them too.

I loved what he said in the debate about not having his own emblem yet........that probably went over a lot of folks heads, but it was GREAT!
