Iowa Congressman Jim Leach discusses the effect that recent events have had on the election. "The post-convention dust has settled, and the current financial crisis is bringing the media focus back to which candidate can provide the change we need. This is neither a time for the Obama camp to panic nor shift basic strategies. Elections are about issues and personalities. And on the issues -- ending the war, establishing a tax policy that puts middle class concerns first, addressing the health care
needs of Americans --the case for a new fairness and new decency in public life is compelling. So is the remarkable personality of Barack Obama. While Governor Palin has sparked enthusiasm in the Republican Party's base, the Obama campaign continues to organize assiduously and register new voters, many under 30.
Former GOP Virginia Governor Linwood Holton today endorsed a Democrat for president for the first time and is going to stump critical areas of the state for him. Linwood Holton is the hero of moderate Republicans in Virginia. He defeated the segregationist Democrat for governor and fought GOP rightwingers. Holton is widely regarded as the father of the Republican party in Virginia. When Richmond public schools were ordered integrated Holton enrolled his children in the AA school close to the governor's mansion and walked them to school. He supported his son-in-law Tim Kaine for governor but has never supported a Democratic presidential candidate.
in a letter from Reporter Mark Brunswick in Minnesota:
Four prominent Minnesota business leaders announced their support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, an effort to counter criticism from Republicans that Obama's tax policies would hurt business and stifle job creation.
"We've spent so much time trying to incent those at the very top that we've forgotten about those in the very middle and that makes up the vast majority of the American population," said Robert Pohlad, chairman and chief executive officer of PepsiAmericas, Inc. and president of Pohlad Cos., at a State Capitol news conference announcing the endorsements.
Acknowledging that they might find themselves paying higher tax bills if
Obama were elected, the business leaders suggested that more government spending, used prudently, would move people up the economic ladder and strengthen the middle class.
