This is entirely conclusive, imo, but it's a HuffPost article that may shed a little light on the book banning accusations:

Oh and before I dash off, USC is the leader of college football. Even though I went to their rival school which was more than humiliated yesterday (but UCLA does still have a competitive basketball team). I did grow up rooting for the Trojans and they've been good for years....it's a fact.

LOL

I think Hillary will be in the cabinet. Personally, I'd rather she stay in the Senate. I think she would become a real voice for a lot of folks who don't have one. I think she will become a leader now if she stays in the Senate.

Jess, should McCain win the election, do you think Hillary will run again in 2012?

Battle for Congress Suddenly Looks Competitive

Democrats’ double-digit lead on the “generic ballot” slips to 3 points

PRINCETON, NJ -- A potential shift in fortunes for the Republicans in Congress is seen in the latest USA Today/Gallup survey, with the Democrats now leading the Republicans by just 3 percentage points, 48% to 45%, in voters' "generic ballot" preferences for Congress. This is down from consistent double-digit Democratic leads seen on this measure over the past year.

Republican candidates now lead Democratic candidates among likely voters by 5 percentage points, 50% to 45%.

USA Today: Palin ‘Governed from the Center,’ Tough on ‘Big oil’

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/elec...er_N.htm?csp=34

In her 21 months as governor, Palin has taken few steps to advance culturally conservative causes. Instead, after she knocked off an incumbent amid an influence-peddling scandal linked to the oil industry, Palin pursued a populist agenda that toughened ethics rules and raised taxes on oil and gas companies.

And she did so while relying on Democratic votes in the Legislature.

“She has governed from the center,” says Rebecca Braun, author of Alaska Budget Report, a non-partisan political newsletter.

The state's coffers are brimming, and Palin and the Legislature this month are sending $1,200 checks to every Alaskan, on top of $2,069 each will receive as part of the annual slice of state oil and gas revenue. Palin also suspended the state's gasoline tax for a year. Oil and gas royalties make up 85% of state revenue in Alaska, which has no income or sales tax.

McCain Poll Surge, Fundraising Give Democrats Election Jitters

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...mp;refer=canada

Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats are beginning to worry about losing the presidential election.

After months of leading in voter enthusiasm, fundraising and most surveys, Barack Obama lost momentum to John McCain after the Republican convention last week. McCain has gotten a boost from his pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and has surged ahead of Obama in some national polls, while running even in others.

Arizona Senator McCain, 72, is drawing larger crowds to his rallies than ever before. Illinois Senator Obama's campaign, meanwhile, may struggle to keep up the record fundraising pace it has maintained all year.
