Obama is building an economic dream team around Treasury nominee Tim Geithner that makes use of such marquee talents as Robert Rubin, Paul Volker, Larry Summers, to say nothing of Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee.
You wanted Best and Brightest with an establishment bent? You got it.

The pugnacious environmentalist Henry Waxman has just ousted John Dingell as the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman.
This is a huge development for the future of climate change reforms, and the future of the U.S. auto industry.
Dingell, the Michigan Democrat and husband to GM executive Debbie, has long been Detroit’s most dependable enabler, long working to block regulation of auto CO2 emissions and fuel efficiency...

As Alaska finally gets around to counting absentee ballots, GOP felon Sen. Ted Stevens’ modest lead has disappeared. He’s now losing by 3 votes with at least 45,000 left to count.

Palin’s shopping spree was even bigger than the $150K already reported says Newsweek:
NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the...

Sixty-seven year old Dick Cheney endorses, John McCain, a man five years his senior.
UPDATE: Obama congratulates McCain:
I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it. That endorsement didn’t come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington’s biggest cheerleader for going to war...

There’s been little polling in Louisana, but one poll out today has McCain only up three, 43-40.
Now Connecticut GOP Rep. Chris Shays has his own electoral troubles… but when a McCain state co-chair says of his candidate for president “I just don’t see how he can win,” there’s trouble afoot.
And Shays didn’t stop there, saying of McCain: “He has
lost his brand as a maverick; he did not live up to his pledge to fight a clean campaign.”

Over the weekend the New York Times ran an alarming — and as it turns out flatly untrue — story that blamed Rock the Vote for disenfranchising as many as 100,000 voters in the state.
The story, Voters in Electoral Limbo, opens with a vignette of a alleged victim who registered with the youth voting group, but whose registration was nowhere to be found on the voter rolls.
The Times piece is correct in that there have been...

So how seriously does McCain want to take his denunciation of “spreading the wealth?”
Should states receive only one dollar of federal spending for every dollar their taxpayers put in?
For the record, most of the states McCain is counting on to win reap more in federal tax dollars than they pay into the system, including his own state of Arizona, which receives an 18% premium on every $1 paid in federal taxes. That...

Just last month, in an interview with Philip Gourevitch of the New Yorker, Palin explained the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans “share in the wealth” generated by oil companies:
And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth...

A no-name poll has Obama trailing McCain by less than a handful: 40-44.
You really can’t make this up…

Woah!
I’m still of the opinion that this Pennsylvania thing is a giant head fake.
It’s bizarre enough a proposal — go all in in the Keystone state that hasn’t gone Republican since ‘88 — that it’s got all us media folk talking. But as it currently stands Obama’s got as good a chance of flipping Mississippi or Arkansas or even Arizona as McCain does flipping Pennsylvania.
But here’s...
