Franken: My Ads Are About Norm Coleman's Record -- So They're Negative
Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) debated last night against Al Franken and Independency Party candidate Dean Barkley. Franken got off this zinger when asked what he would do about negative ads that have taken over the race on all sides: "We've been running ads against Norm Coleman's record. So they're negative."

Working America, the political arm of the AFL-CIO, keeps up the economic assault on John McCain with another huge, hard-hitting mailing targeting the battleground states (click to enlarge):
Also, in an interesting experiment, the AFL-CIO tells me that they'll be emailing this video out to a list that includes thousands of Republicans and Independents in the swing states -- "a persuasion piece," as AFL spokesperson Steve Smith puts it.
The thing to keep in mind is that the ratcheted up activity by the
New McCain Ad: Obama "Dangerous" And "Dishonorable" To Our Troops
This new McCain TV ad, set to air nationally, goes after Barack Obama by taking his comments on Afghanistan seriously out of context:
"Who is Barack Obama? He says our troops in Afghanistan are 'just air-raiding villages and killing civilians," the announcer says, splicing in footage of Obama's mangled quote. "How dishonorable." In fact, Obama was talking about the need for more troops in Afghanistan, in order to avoid the situation he wa

The Obama campaign is bringing out their latest salvo against the McCain campaign's decision to attack Obama's character. They've just put up a new Web site, KeatingEconomics.com, teasing a comprehensive attack on McCain's role in the Keating Five scandal.
Here's the teaser for what is being promoted as a full-length documentary on McCain's part in the last major banking crisis:
"Many of our fellow citizens apparently believe that your services were bought by Charles Keating," says the late Sen. Howell
The Obama campaign just released a very tough ad hitting John McCain in advance for the barrage of adver-sleazements and attacks on Obama's character that the McCain team is readying:
The spot features that quote we highlighted here yesterday -- in which a McCain adviser admitted to The Washington Post that his campaign is "looking forward to turning the page on this financial crisis" and getting back to attacking Obama as too liberal and too "risky."
The ad opens with bad news about job losses and th

The Obama campaign is opening up a major new offensive against McCain on health care that includes a forceful speech today denouncing McCain's plan as "radical," as well as a blitz of ads like this new one:
The ad hammers McCain's proposed tax of health benefits as a "trillion dollar tax" and the "largest middle class tax hike ever," an effort to turn McCain's frequent claim that Obama would hike middle class taxes on its head.
With the push on health care, which has been gearing up for some time now,

Minnesota GOP Accused Of Playing Up Racial Angle In House Race
Now this is awkward. The Minnesota Dems are circulating this tracker video of a state GOP press conference from Tuesday, in which reporters asked some very tough questions about wether the party was using race as an issue in saying that their House candidate Erik Paulsen better fits the "demographic" of the district than Democrat Ashwin Madia, who is Indian-American:
"I'm just saying fro
This morning, we reported that an independent group was running ads in Wisconsin attacking Obama for supposedly letting babies die by hitting him for opposing an Illinois measure that purported to protect the lives of babies who had survived an abortion.
Now Mark Halperin has obtained a copy of the ad, which is the work of some group called the Committee for Truth in Politics, and it's a nasty piece of work that actually features a cooing baby:
In the next month, we're going to see an assault on Obama
An odd moment on Fox News: Sarah Palin appears to say that she heard about her campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan only today, despite it being reported far and wide across our great land yesterday. She seems to suggest she heard it about it from the newspapers...
"Well, that's not a surprise because, you know, the polls are showing we're not doing as well there evidently as we would like to," Palin said. "But I read that this morning also. I fired off a quick email and said `Oh, come on, you kno
The Obama and McCain campaigns have both announced new attack ads aganst each other this afternoon, a preview of what we can expect to see for the next month.
Here's the McCain ad, airing nationally, calling Obama a liar when he says he'll cut taxes for most people:
"At least Congressional liberals admit they want to raise your taxes," one of the announcers says. Thing is, this isn't true -- unless by "you" they mean this ad is only meant to be seen by people making over $250,000 per year. Obama and the

It's about time...... I cannot wait to show this video to all my undecided friend voters. Senator McCain you had a great run, now its time to retire to those green pastures on one of your seven homes. Senator Obama tried to be civil, but your empty skirt opened her mouth, paybacks a bitch!

The truth about Obama continues to come out. Of course you will never see this in the liberal 10 o'clock news. He sure has a lot of terrorist, corrupt and socialist acquaintances.
WAKE UP !!!!
Why does Obama have a huge poster of the mass murderer and communist Che Guevara in his Houston campaign office?
You Obama supporters are either so desperate that you can not see the truth, or you are so indebted to your own special interest groups that nothing else matters.

commented on LA-Sen: 81 Percent (John Kennedy)
When you have nothing better to say about your candidacy, you can always tie yourself to the up-ticket and hope they will drag you to victory. Except, it would seem that McCain is more likely to drag down than up. I mean, LA is 55 McCain and 40 Obama. If you offend that 40, then you have to get the rest of your vote from that 55 and not all of that 55 are dumb enough to support Kennedy.

commented on New McCain Ad Targets Obama Aide’s Freddie, Fannie Connections
The crisis has its roots in the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, a Carter-era law that purported to prevent "redlining" - denying mortgages to black borrowers - by pressuring banks to make home loans in "low- and moderate-income neighborhoods." Under the act, banks were to be graded on their attentiveness to the "credit needs" of "predominantly minority neighborhoods." The higher a bank's rating, the more likely that regulators would say yes when the bank sought to open a new branch or undertake a merger or acquisition.
But to earn high ratings, banks were forced to make increasingly risky loans to borrowers who wouldn't qualify for a mortgage under normal standards of creditworthiness. The Community Reinvestment Act, made even more stringent during the Clinton administration, trapped lenders in a Catch-22.

Payday Loan Advocate
commented on McCain: 'Alaska Maverick'
The payday loan industry has been the prime target for corrupt politicians, from all sides, seeking an increase in voter support at the expense of what’s best for their citizens. Governors of several states including, Georgia, North Carolina, and Oregon completely drove payday loan companies out of their states. The negative effects of driving out payday loan companies from these states, appears to have not been what was best for its’ citizens. For instance, in Georgia, the bankruptcy filings, bounced checks and foreclosures all skyrocketed after the cash advance product was done away with. In spite of these negative statistics, following the closure of payday loans in these states, several other governors continue to try and follow suit. Top national politicians, such as presidential hopeful Barack Obama, are now stepping into the arena in hopes of wiping the industry completely off the map. Should such efforts deem successful, the possibility is very real for increased unemployment rates, more debt, more foreclosures and an even more crippled economy.
