It should be out there. The media has totally ignored it. I speak every day to people who have NEVER heard of Ayers, ACORN (until they got busted and couldn't be kept off the news.), the Berg case--nothing except the glowing tributes of the cable newsies.

When they hear it, some are furious because they had not been told--Ayers and his attitude towards the US goes a long way to explaining Obama's standing onstage with Hillary and others saluting the flag while he stands with hands folded in front of him.

McCain and the others are wrong on the economy--according to free marketers the govt. should have kept hands off the handout. McCain should be bullying for business tax cuts, investment rates lowered (Tax on investments) and drilling to create new jobs and wealth. American workers would respond big time to that, and billionaires would get off their money and start investing again instead of waiting to see what govt. is going to do.

I keep thinking of Ludwig von Mises comment to the effect that a market in chaos needs to let the market forces work. When govt intervenes, the problem drags on and ultimately causes a complete meltdown of both markets and currency---sound remotely like anything we are seeing now?

What you’re NOT hearing from the MSM P.R. Department for Obama.

Obama is losing chunks of his base, he is not coming close to the numbers enjoyed by Gore and Kerry who both lost. If McCain was losing the same percentage of his base it would be headline news EVERY DAY.

We have a historically significant candidate for VP in Sarah Palin, do you see ANY stories of her impact in the female vote?? If Hillary was the VP candidate we would see constant updates of how many more women are going to vote for the Dem ticket because there is a WOMAN on the ticket. I can only conclude that Sarah Palin is scuttling the female vote or we would have seen many stories about “Palin has NO IMPACT” on the female vote.

If there were large chunks of Republicans voting for Obama like the “PUMA” movement, (dems for McCain) you would see constant fawning media coverage and the leaders of the movement would be household names by now.
