...Obama's Red Dawn Re Michael Kinsley's essay, "That Wealth Spreader," it is clear that John McCain's campaign has fallen back on an old, tired McCarthyist anthem and it is ugly [Nov. 10]. With much of the world and many staunch conservatives all endorsing Obama, how do they call him a socialist with a straight face? It shows how little faith they have in the strength of their own ideals and the credibility of their own party after eight years of Bush. This smacks of desperation and deceit. Fred Grygiel, Sea Girt...
...aired an episode in which they had sent Notchi to the United States to try to meet the then-senator and have him sign a contract endorsing the impersonation. If Notchi failed, he promised he would fly to Arizona to deliver a pro-Obama speech in front of John McCain's supporters.

"We need every person that we can in Congress working constructively to move forward with the new agenda for our country," says Senator Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat. "Look, we're the majority party, we have the responsibility to act, and we've got to bring...
Reid's comments will likely do little to stem the tide of liberal anger that will come from Lieberman's continued presence in the caucus. Many Democrats were already angry at Lieberman's unyielding support of the war in Iraq long before he endorsed McCain and openly questioned Obama's patriotism during the course of the campaign. Some bloggers and activists argue that the Connecticut independent should have lost his chairmanship not because of his past behavior but because he could use the powerful committee - which has jurisdiction and subpoena power over the Executive Branch - to make trouble for Obama...
