...Woman in Charge American voters know that the U.S. is way behind other countries at having a woman as leader of the nation [Sept. 22]. The quickest way to remedy that is to vote Republican this time. If the next President is a Democrat, in four years he will still be young and surely will seek re-election. However, John McCain, after reaching the high point of his ambitions, will be fading, opening the Republican ticket for Palin. Furthermore, with Obama losing in 2008, Hillary Clinton will come back unstoppable, next time around. Then, whichever way it goes, we will...
...courthouse-square cafés in the Lone Star State echoed with disgust for it. So great was the outrage that Chet Edwards - whom Speaker Nancy Pelosi once touted for Obama's Vice President - may be dogged by his yes vote on the campaign trail. Edwards, a popular Democratic incumbent in President George W. Bush's home district, was one of nine Representatives out of Texas' 32-person delegation to vote for the bill.

Washington State Jay Inslee was the state's only Democrat to vote against the bailout, putting him at odds with five other Democrats. It's not that Inslee was worried about getting re-elected; he won 64% of the vote in the August primary and is expected to easily win a sixth term representing the First District, which includes well-to-do Seattle suburbs and the high-tech enclave of Redmond, home to Microsoft - an area full of people whose 401(k)s and stock holdings would likely benefit from a bailout.

Another St. Helena resident, Paul Tuttle, a registered Republican, peppered his Representative, Democrat Mike Thompson, with anti-bailout e-mail. "I think it was bad legislation," says Tuttle. "You're socializing risk. It's like creating the U.S.S.R. under the U.S. flag." Thompson voted against the measure. Says Tuttle: "We have a perfectly valid branch, the FDIC, there to take care of problem...
...adopted. Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of fiscal conservatives in the House, sent a letter to the group's 100-plus members advocating their involvement in a solution. "House conservatives have authored many alternatives that would work if only the Administration and the Democrat majority are willing to meet us halfway," Hensarling wrote. Representative Darrell Issa pushed a plan that he has advocated since the beginning of the meltdown to issue recovery bonds. And other ideas were also being touted again, such as loaning the money to Wall Street firms rather than buying their toxic...
