McCain, Obama, and Biden have all given access to their records, yet Palin still hasn't. I wonder what's in her past that she doesn't want known. Something that might make her seem less conservative? LAKEWOOD, Ohio (CNN) – With less than 24 hours to go before the presidential election, Sarah Palin still has not released her medical records and there is no indication the campaign is planning to do so. Two weeks ago, Palin’s campaign told several reporters traveling with the campaign that a summary of the governor’s medical history would be made public before election day. Reporters were told that details on Palin’s medical background would be released early last week. Last Thursday, after that timeframe had passed, a campaign aide backed off the previous pledge, saying the campaign wasn’t sure when the information would be released. John McCain, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden have all provided details about their medical history. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

And why didn't they come through? Because they were blocked by Bush and the Repubs in Congress. Thus the importance of a fillibuster proof majority in the Senate. Probably won't happen, but it would be nice.

Glad to see you used the present tense to emphasize that the current Republican administration is allowing this to happen, and the Republicans in Congress blocked the comprehensive immigration bill that McCain and the Democrats supported. You can't blame the Dems on this, it was the Repubs that left things as they are, and now McCain is against the same bill he supported.

You really think so? I think she's already working on the base for the 2012 nomination, so we'll be seeing plenty of her in the future.

It's not great news that "only" 12 marines were killed when the alternative was zero marines killed. Relativity doesn't make it right.

Corrected, and a glimse at the future.

Because you have no retort...

Not too picky? What if you're in a jail cell with another guy?

I guess Obama learned from Reagan's "shining city on a hill" imagery.

No he wouldn't, because there would have been zero Marine deaths in Iraq, because they wouldn't still be there.

Maybe tungston, in case people start talking in tongues.

Is this a veiled racist threat attempting to compare Friday, the companion of Robinson Crusoe, to Obama?

If Obama wins, the thousands of plumbers making more than 250k will hit the streets carrying pipes and wrenches, joining forces with CEOs who will instruct their secretaries to wield the heavy binders of their compensation paperwork, and the oil company executives who will be rolling flaming barrels of oil down the street.

In the two previous elections, Massachusetts was the state that Kerry and Gore won by the largest percentages. The reddest states for Bush were Alabama in 2004 and Alaska in 2000. This year it's Hawaii and New York for Obama. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/ma...vs_mccain/#data

RAVENNA, Mich. - A Michigan man who bowled his first perfect game immediately collapsed in the bowling alley and died. Don Doane belonged to the same team at a bowling alley for 45 years. On Oct. 16 at Ravenna Bowl, he scored a perfect 300. As he was being congratulated by his teammates, local television reports said Doane collapsed on the floor. The 62-year-old was taken to a local hospital but could not be saved. A medical examiner later determined that a heart attack killed Doane. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/27472567/ What would you want to be doing right before you die unexpectedly?

He got "railroaded" into lying? He'll get a pardon for taking the fall for the real person who should have gone to jail; Dick Cheney.

How did Dana Jacobson get on this list? She has man-hands and a horse face. She doesn't understand that her getting drunk doesn't make her better looking, it's her date that's supposed to drink.

Yeah, bell bottom pants and mini skirts! I can't wait! Kool-Aid, oh yeah! Who are the 1000 party poopers who don't like Kool-Aid?!

McCain would have done better to pick Joe the Plumber than Sarah the poll Plunger, at least he's been properly vetted.

Joe the Plumber isn't affected, 99% of plumbers make less than 250k. People did fine under the Clinton tax rates, which is what they would go back to. They would still be less than what they were under Reagan. If I ever get to making 250k, I'll be happy to pay a higher rate than those making less. I have no problem paying a higher rate than those making less than me now. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Yet more people that live in the most expensive areas of the country, like New York City and San Francisco, support Obama's plans over McCain's. Even some of the richest people, like Warren Buffet.

McCain and Palin haven't given a speech since the last debate without making him a focal point of their speech.

According to preliminary ratings numbers from the networks, more than 26 million people watched the program on CBS, NBC or Fox. That's 3 million more than usually watch those networks at that hour, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Averaging in the cable networks that also carried the event, about 30 million people in all saw the long-form campaign ad. The ad was most watched on NBC, where nearly 10 million viewers tuned in. More than 8.5 million watched on CBS while just under 8 million viewed the program on Fox. On average, about 7 million people usually tune into each network at that hour. Overall, according to Nielsen, for the six networks that aired the infomercial simultaneously, it scored a household rating of nearly 22 percent — meaning 22 percent of all households watching television at that hour tuned into the spot. That compares to the 38.3 household rating the last presidential debate scored. Obama's combined audience beat the highest rated television show last week: CBS' CSI drew about 20 million viewers. It also drew more than double the viewers the average World Series game this year did. But even if viewers didn't catch the spot when it first aired, clips of the program have repeatedly been broadcast across the cable news chanels Thursday, maximizing the Illinois senator's exposure in the crucial remaining days before Election Day. "The strategic brilliance of this for Obama is that he is going to consume about 24 hours of the news cycle," Evan Tracey of Campaign Media Analysis Group said. "It boxes [John] McCain in, takes the oxygen out of the room." http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

You mean the same media lapdogs that McCain called his closest supporters before the election? After it was determined to be unconstitutional to restrict public donations, which was the preferred choice by Dems to limit campaign costs, the Dems decided to beat the Repubs at their own game. And now McCain is crying about the Dems not playing fair. Maybe if he had a better plan for America he'd get more financial support. But that would have cost him the nomination.
