I caught a story in the Wall Street Journal today about Paul Volcker’s impact on the Obama campaign that bears passing on (hat tip Barry Ritholtz). One reason people have become more comfortable with Obama over time is because his economic team is absolutely the best: Austan Goosbee, Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, Warren Buffett [...]

Talking about how he will fare against Barack Obama in the upcoming third and last U.S. Presidential Debate, John McCain said:
“We’re going to spend a lot of time and after I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we’re going to be going out 24/7.-Huffington Post

This from Politico. It’s hard to say at this point how this will change the race for the White House.
Sarah Palin violated the trust Alaskans placed in her as their governor in how she handled the events surrounding the firing of a state official who had refused to dismiss her ex-brother-in-law from his job [...]

The YouTube video below is gaining a wide audience on the Internet. It shows an Ohio blogger interviewing some McCain-Palin supporters after a speech and rally by Sarah Palin in that state earlier this week.
The blogger’s question to attendees of the rally is fairly straightforward: “Do you think Barack Obama is a terrorist?”
