Leave The Money - Get The Votes

It looks like Sarah Palin has more value as a vote getter than as a fund raiser.

John McCain's campaign is scrapping, rescheduling or offering surrogates for nearly every one of the fundraisers Sarah Palin was to hold this month, instead having her campaign jointly with McCain, prepare for her sole debate next month and get some foreign policy exposure.

According to an internal fundraising calendar put together in late-August just before McCain's vice presidential selection, Palin was to have headlined nine fundraisers across five states by now.

She's attended just one to date.

And she'll miss several more that had been in the works for this week, having reunited with McCain to stump in suburban Philadelphia Monday before heading to New York City for two days of meetings with foreign leaders in town for the United Nations General Assembly.

"It only makes sense that we would maximize her time and make sure the schedule lets her spend time meeting with voters, mobilizing volunteers and communicating her record," said an aide to Palin, requesting anonymity to discuss strategic matters.

It seems like that is a very good idea. According to the polls at Real Clear Politics Obama has been gaining ground. And that does not even include ACORN vote fraud.

According to the New York Times dated Sept. 11,2003 the Republicans did try to rein in Freddie and Fannie, but the Democrats stopped them. The plan "would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios". But check out what Barney Frank had to say about the plan, "these two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis.....the more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." It seems to me that the Republicans would have a good TV spot there.
