Where has Nader been in the past week?

I apologize for the week off. A combination of sickness, a quarter deadline, and college apps, has sidelined me from the blog for a week, but I am back and ready to inform all of my loyal readers(wherever they are) about what our favorite presidential candidate has been up to.

Today, Ralph Nader is campaigning in Oregon where he will talk about the economy. In Washington, Ralph Nader's name was misspelled Ralph Nadar. This is the first time Nader was involved in something interesting enough for the media to care about his campaign, or so I thought. Nader will appear on NBC nightly news and will discuss his campaign in front of mainstream America. I will try to find the interview on you tube and post it here tomorrow.

Last Friday in Buffalo Nader stated that legislation needs to regulate the ""corporate crooks" and offer "jail time, not bail time."

Palin's SNL Appearance/ McCain Letterman Interview

As predicted last week, Sarah Palin did appear on SNL, but did nothing to help her image. She made two short appearances, neither in which she played a large role. In one, Palin danced as a rap song was performed making fun of her. She looked helpless as the jokes continued with her on air.

Also, if one were for some reason reading my comments from a classmate's blog, I predicted that John McCain's interview with David Letterman would be his toughest to date. It did indeed wind up being a challenging interview. Letterman was upset that McCain missed his first appearance on the show when he suspended his campaign, and had seemed to be an Obama supporter when he interviewed the Democratic candidate. Letterman was able to paint McCain into a corner when discussing Palin's comments about Obama paling around with terrorists. He noted that mistakes are made on the campaign trail.

Attack of the Year/Please explain the logic in this ad!

And surprisingly it does not come from either campaign. Democracyforamerica.com mangaged to attack McCain's service as a POW. That is about as low as it gets. The ad can be seen here

I could not possibly do an ad post without putting up a new McCain ad. Can someone please explain to me how McCain connects Obama's friendship with Ayers and the economic crisis. Doesn't McCain pride himself on not promoting regulation? What is happening here?

Palin booed at hockey game/Set to appear on SNL

Sarah Palin ce again became a laughing stock on Saturday night, this time with Palin herself, not Tina Fey being the center of attention. The VP candidate was booed in Philadelphia when dropping the first puck on the October 11th contest between the hometown Flyers and the Rangers. The booing was so loud that music was cranked up to "deafening levels" to cancel out the protesters. As expected, the media had a big day throwing jabs at Palin. In a combination of headlines, Sarah Falin is on thin ice. The video can be seen below



In exciting news, Sarah Palin is expected to appear and possibly host SNL October 25th. This will give her a chance to redeem herself in front of the live audience that has laughed at her for the past month. One can only imagine the comedic potential of Palin and Fey in the same skit.

A match made in heaven

No one cares about Ralph Nader except Ralph Nader.
No one outside of North Dakota cares about North Dakota

Knowing these two facts, it makes perfect sense that Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader make an appearance in North Dakota on Saturday. He had new comments about the Bush and McCain Campaigns

"They are uniquely aligned with each other on issue, after issue, after issue. They have nothing to offer against corporate crime, nothing to offer for consumer protection, nothing to offer to demilitarize our foreign policy, nothing to offer against the Wall St. bailout, on and on. They`re diddle-heads."

After talking to North Dakota, Ralph decided to walk over to South Dakota to talk there as well.

In South Dakota Nader criticized ethanol subsidizes, the federal bailout, and the Iraq War.

After likely talking to a large percentage of both states, it will be interesting to see how Nader fares come election day.

McCain presents plan to KY3 to bailout homeowners

Today John McCain presented a plan to bailout homeowners in an interview with KY3 Missouri. He posed the question

"Why don't we take care of the homeowners, and that means buying their mortgage, giving them a new mortgage at the new value of their home and payments that they can afford."

Quick Election Blurbs: Where is everyone today?

Barack Obama: Walking door to door in a working class Ohio neighborhood. When Obama says he is running a grassroots campaign, I guess he means it.

Biden/Clintons:Campaigning for Obama in Scranton, PA. Pennsylvania appears as if it will go to Obama. Scranton is Biden's hometown, and the visit had no association with "The Office", other than the fact that the characters on the show would be the campaign's target voters.

John McCain: Article Above

Sarah Palin: Talking to voters in Southeast Ohio. May or may not have run into Obama depending on how fast he was walking accross the state.
