by Linda Deutsch

Simpson is being isolated from other prisoners for his own safety, and is focusing on a motion for new trial and a strong bid for appellate reversal of his conviction for kidnapping and robbery, his lawyer said Sunday.Attorney Yale Galanter told The Associated Press he will continue to pursue a request for Simpson to be released on bond pending appeal. | Obama Maintains Significant Margin
by Gallup.com
Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Oct. 1-3 finds 50% of registered voters supporting Barack Obama, and 42% John McCain, for president.Obama has now held a statistically significant lead over McCain for the last eight days, one shy of his campaign-best streak of nine days with a lead around the time of the Democratic National Convention. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.) | Obama gaining crucial ground
by Brian C. Mooney
With 31 days until the election, Democrat Barack Obama's road to the White House is widening, and Republican John McCain's electoral path is narrowing.The McCain campaign's decision this week to abandon Democratic-leaning Michigan is the most obvious and dramatic sign, a major tactical retreat that limits the ways he can reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes on Nov. 4. | GOP Strategists Whisper Fears Of Greater Losses in November
by Chris Cillizza and Shailagh Murray
With the party already struggling to generate enthusiasm for its brand, Republican strategists fear that an outpouring of public anger generated by Congress's struggle to pass a rescue package for the financial industry may contribute to a disaster at the polls for the GOP in November. | Gay families are here, no matter what the Florida Constitution says

Adelle Barsky-Moore is 5, and she doesn't know about wedge politics and the Culture War. All she knows is that she loves her two dads and they love her.Her parents, Allan Barsky and Greg Moore, have been together 10 years. They were married in Canada, Barsky's native country, in 2003. They wear wedding bands, are registered domestic partners in Broward and live in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. | I Can Fly This Plane Just Fine, Darn It!
by RJ Eskow
Why, hello there, folks! May I call you "folks"? I'll be your pilot today. What? Am I "qualified" to fly this jalopy? You betcha! Why? Because I'm a mom, that's why. No, I don't know what all these switches and handles and whatnot are. I don't CARE what they are, to tell ya the truth. The important thing is that I'm ready, I'm willing, and (wink) I'm eager as heck to get the job done! THAT'S what matters. | Bailout Is Capitalism Murdering Democracy
by David Sirota
The United States has always struggled to balance its capitalist economy with its democratic ideals. We've spent the last many years telling ourselves that the two go hand in hand, only to watch capitalism thrive in China in the absence of democratic freedoms. Indeed, if there's been any lesson the last few years, it is that authoritarian capitalism -- rather than democratic capitalism -- may be the dominant ideology of the 21st century. And as I write in my newspaper column this week, that ideology may be coming to America. | JUST IN: McCain Campaign Pulls Out Of Contiguous United States
by Steve Young
With polls showing Obama leading comfortably, the McCain campaign confirmed it was pulling staff and advertising out of the economically-distressed original 48 American states. The GOP nominee also canceled a visit there slated for next week. Republicans had poured money into an effort to try to place the U.S. in the Republican column this year. | Vote Like Mike
by David Swanson
Michael Moore's new book is called "Mike's Election Guide 2008," and it's a nice combination of the comical and the useful. The comical comes first. Chapter One consists of Mike's answers to random election-related questions, and his answers are for the most part funny, insightful, informative, and sometimes brilliant. | Sarah Palin Wins Debate - by Darn
by Walter Brasch
The vice-presidential debates proved one thing. At the very least, Sarah Palin can be trained.For several days, she had camped out in one of John McCain's Arizona houses, where she underwent Debate Boot camp conducted by drill instructors who make Marine DIs appear to be slaggers. | Joe Lieberman wears makeup & other things I learned at the Biden-Palin debate
by Jane Stillwater
All of you probably watched the Biden-Palin debate yourselves so I don't have to describe it in detail, but I can give you some feeling of what it was like to be there.Before I went to the debate, I'd never even heard of Washington University in St Louis but it was a very impressive school. Not only did it have a brick and stone facade equaling Harvard but its medical school is Number Two in the nation. That's ten clicks higher than Seattle Grace! | Nancy Pfotenhauer and The Power of Positive Sinking
by Matthew Hubbard
Rachel Maddow was very happy on Friday, October 3. After weeks of cajoling, a spokesperson from the McCain campaign, Nancy Pfotenhauer, agreed to be on the show.It's clear that Maddow has been groomed by Keith Olbermann, who lobbied to have her host the show that follows his live broadcast at 8:00 pm Eastern and leads into the repeat showing at 10:00, but those who call her show a clone of Olbermann's aren't paying attention. Yes, like Olbermann, she gets to pick what topics are important and she has her own spin on things, but she isn't as confrontational as Keith, and she has people who hold views different from hers own on the show. She had several people against the bailout as guests this past week, both Republicans and Democrats, and she talks on a regular basis with Pat Buchanan, with whom she disagrees without being disagreeable. | Joe Biden Hit a Home Run for Barack
by Brent Budowsky
The winners of the vice presidential debate were Joe Biden and Barack Obama, by far, hands down. Ignore the pundit class: They are always wrong because they are completely out of touch with the reality of American voters and therefore do not have a clue what is happening. Here is why Biden and Obama won a great victory in the debate: Joe Biden looked, acted, sounded and was presidential and reassuring. It is true Palin did not look foolish, a plus, but an irrelevant plus compared to Biden's stellar performance. | Pitbull Palin Mauls McCain
by Frank Rich
SARAH PALIN’S post-Couric/Fey comeback at last week’s vice presidential debate was a turning point in the campaign. But if she “won,” as her indulgent partisans and press claque would have it, the loser was not Joe Biden. It was her running mate. With a month to go, the 2008 election is now an Obama-Palin race — about “the future,” as Palin kept saying Thursday night — and the only person who doesn’t seem to know it is Mr. Past, poor old John McCain. | Sarah’s Pompom Palaver
by Maureen Dowd
I had hoped I was finally done with acting as an interpreter for politicians whose relationship with the English language was tumultuous.There’s W.’s gummy grammar, of course, like the classic, “Is our children learning?” And covering the first Bush White House required doing simultaneous translation for a president who never met a personal pronoun he liked or a wacky non sequitur he could resist. | Post-debate, Palin power putters out
by AFP
Despite a gutsy debate performance by Republican VP pick Sarah Palin, she failed to turn the tide in the race for the White House, leaving John McCain struggling to revitalize his slipping bid, analysts said Friday.Just over four weeks until the November 4 elections, McCain has yet to seize the upper hand from his Democratic rival Barack Obama and has been left trailing in the polls. | Klein: Bush admin creats crises to 'enrich themselves and their friends'
by David Edwards and Stephen C. Webster
On Thursday's edition of The Colbert Report, bestselling author Naomi Klein argued that the Bush Administration creates crises in order to "enrich themselves and their friends," drawing parallels between the torture of prisoners and the economic bailout being provided to Wall St. by US leaders. | Lieberman: McCain draws the line at using Rev. Wright
by David Edwards and Andrew McLemore
Character attacks in the presidential race were the subject of debate on Fox News Sunday morning with host Chris Wallace.Senators Joe Lieberman and Claire McCaskill wrangled over the McCain campaign's shift toward attack ads that criticize Sen. Barack Obama for his alleged ties to radicals. | Obama slams McCain for sordid attacks amid economic peril
by AFP
Barack Obama's White House campaign hammered Republican John McCain Sunday for wanting to "turn the page" on the US economic crisis and engage in low-blow personal attacks a month away from election day.The Democrat hit back with a new television spot after McCain's running mate Sarah Palin accused Obama of consorting with "terrorists," in an attack on his ties in Chicago to former anti-Vietnam war militant William Ayers. |
