No mention of the CIT bankruptcy filing? I can think of about 2.3 billion reasons why that should have been the top story.

1. governors'

2.actually Va. is no struggle, the Democrat is going to lose for sure. Obama not even helping but instead has distanced white house from his rural cracker loser effort.

Maybe they should have gone with McAuliffe? Obama didn't exactly warm up to him either, I wonder why?

In NJ, Obama made three whole trips, woo hoo. That's nice. Too bad he didn't make any trips to Maine or Montana or Missouri to you know, fight for a robust public option.

3. Nice The Ed Show last Friday asking why Obama is torpedoing public option.

4. E'en so we are at verge of passage of a health care reform and his strategy of hands off in the congress seems to be working and when the bill passes that will be a major achievement.

5. Two cheers.

Unity & hope, but not so much change.

The public option we are getting will only cover TWO PERCENT of adults over age 65!

Wow, now that's some huge public option isn't it, really going to kick those insurers' asses, oh boy.

TWO PERCENT.

Anyone else noticed that, the day before the election, the Approve R-71 website seems to have done a faceplant? All I get is "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."

Why is it the pro-gay-rights side always ends up with the gang that can't shoot straight?
