By Richard (RJ) Eskow
October 23, 2012

Wealthy Republican incumbent Mary Bono Mack is locked in a tight and bitter Congressional race against a progressive Democrat with an inspiring story. While her campaign focuses on red-baiting her opponent (yes, they still do that in 2012), a new nonpartisan analysis shows that Mack scores "zero" on voting for the interests of the middle class. more »

Debate Debate

By Digby
October 23, 2012

So, I'm hearing this morning that despite the fact that President Obama clearly won last night's foreign policy debate, he actually lost:

Josh Marshall tweeted that reporter friends of his are saying Mitt's playing 12 dimensional chess. I guess that makes sense since he has basically morphed himself into Obama 08 in these debates. (Yes he can!)

Unfortunately, The Fiscal Cliff Joke Is On Us

By Stan Collender
October 23, 2012

Originally published at Capital Gains and Games.

Have you heard the one about the big-name financial services CEOs who last week released a letter to Congress and the president demanding they do whatever it takes to avoid the fiscal cliff?

I have no doubt the CEOs were sincere: The fiscal cliff is terrible policy and a ridiculous situation that should be avoided.

But the CEOs’ letter attempts to have it both ways. It demands that the cliff be prevented without the bank and insurance company leaders ever admitting that what they’re really lobbying for is a higher federal budget deficit next year.

We have Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to thank for this. more »

The Doublethink Debate

By Robert Borosage
October 23, 2012

“I agree,” said Mitt Romney, and so he did, with the same passionate intensity with which he previously scorned the president’s foreign policies from one corner of the country to another. On Iran, on Afghanistan, on drones, on Libya, on using military force, on bailing out Detroit, Mitt agreed. more »
