Pennsylvania government mandates that electric companies cut energy output by at least 1 percent a year. Are they on drugs? They must think they're gods instead of politicians. Energy use isn't going to drop. This is a mandate for rolling blackouts. Of course, once those start and people start moving out of Pennsylvania, the richest first, energy usage will go down. It would be far less painful to banish the richest 1 percent of the population in Pennsylvania.

Dallas homeowner shoots and kills man trying to steal his TV. Home invasions are going to drop like a rock in Texas.

Ohio is voter fraud center of the election again. Sec. of State Jennifer Bruner asked the Supreme Court to block a Republican lawsuit demanding Bruner's office do more to help counties uncover fraudulent voter registrations from ACORN and others. The Supreme Court threw the lawsuit out because the GOP didn't have standing. Apparently an actual candidate should have filed it, not the GOP in general.

The Secret Service reports that claims that Republicans shouted "kill him" about Barack Obama are false. I witnesses had already reported that too.

Colin Powell endorses Obama. Boy, did I just lose a ton of respect for Powell. The kind of transformation Obama wants is terrible for America. Why was he a Republican? Obama raises $150 million in Sept. Wow. It's just stunning how poorly Obama has performed given all his natural advantages. He's historic, He's swimming in money, Bush is terrible, Democrats are looking at a wave election, the financial crisis couldn't have come at a more providential time, and McCain has run one of the most inept campaigns in memory. But Obama is barely ahead.

I loved McCain's Senator Government misspeak in the debate. I agree with Boortz that McCain should call Obama that from now on.

Dick Morris thinks that McCain managed to make enough points on taxes and spending in the debate to give him a chance to win in November.

I don't know how anybody could compare McCain's immediate response the financial crisis, suspending his campaign and returning to Washington, to Bush's preceived slow response to Katrina. If anything, Obama was the one who was slow to respond. Obama sat on the sidelines the entire crisis and quietly went along with whatever Dodd, Frank, Reid and Pelosi said. McCain has been hurt because he's a Republican and the president during the crisis is a Republican and because Paulson's plan did split Republicans. Bush has always been McCain's worst enemy in this campaign, and Bush may have put the final nail in McCain's coffin with Paulson's unprecedented socialist power grab.

Liberals are trying to paint Bill Ayers as an education reformer. I wish McCain would have drilled Obama when he called Ayers a professor of education in the last debate. McCain should have pointed out that Obama's and Ayer's 3 year, $100 million shared vision for education reform produced no positive results.
