The public option: We're going to fight for it down to the very last day. It's got to be part of [the bill]. If it's not, we're just showering $$ upon $$ on same system, the same industry that got us into this mess. Lobbyists' power tangible Capitol Hill

...thinks the election has basically been lost over the last couple of weeks, that Republicans elsewhere in House and Senate races are also dropping, that this is looking to be a very very unfavorable election for them.

No, you can't expect us to worry about people who have lost their homes. They don't donate enough money to the GOP to matter. John McCain was once a POW without a home and that was the last time he worried about such things.

As a purely political matter, McCain's choice of Palin will overshadow this week's convention... the media will rightly be doing their job, trying to figure out who Palin is. Palin, not Obama, will be the issue, in a way that Romney...would not have been

Or at least he's not sure how many he wants to admit to. Don't miss the Google Earth tour of his many homes. If he has so many he can't remember them all, that explains why he doesn't pay his taxes. "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you." Familiar?

Though the media has focused on offshore drilling, the threat to our onshore public lands is also graver than ever. Reckless drilling will do nothing but provide handouts to oil and gas companies while discouraging investment in clean energy technologies.

Clinton criticized Obama for ranking McCain No. 3 in a four-person assessment, ahead of Bush. But Clinton herself put McCain No. 2--or maybe even in a tie for No. 1--in her evaluation of the three candidates.
