From Ron Reagan:

Unfortunately, 'it’s the economy, stupid,' and I’m speaking with Bob Sullivan, who writes the popular blog The Red Tape Chronicles for MSNBC.com.

I'm talking "The week that was” with Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter. His latest book is "Between the Lines: A View Inside American Politics, People, and Culture."

Later in the show, the real differences between Obama and McCain’s healthcare plans with Richard Kirsch, Health Care for America Now’s National Campaign Manager, followed by an advocate for single payer plans, Geri Jenkins, Co-President of the California Nurses Association and National Nurses Organizing Committee.

The Nation’s John Nichols has an update on Trooper gate, including a report to be released today on the story and the McCain campaign’s claims that Sarah Palin was never contacted for testimony.

And Harry Shearer shares the many voices of Sarah Palin and why he thinks you can judge candidates by how they walk (not how they talk).

What's worse - giving a flagrantly wrong answer, or completely dodging the question? Well, when you're running for vice president, neither are acceptable. That's why this week's campaign moron award goes to governor Sarah Palin.

Kuby Responds to this comment on yesterday's blog. Pasted below so you can read along with the fun.

There are so many other GOOD reasons

to hate and fear Obama other that for his race.

Obama is a Socialist

Obama Promotes killing babies

Obama Hangs out with racists, America haters and terrorists

Obama Wishes to bomb our allies and have dialog with our enemies

Obama will cause/allow Israel's demise

Obama wishes to indoctrinate schoolchildren into Socialism.

Obama is a liar

I could go on and on

Where We Are Now

Ron Kuby — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:52:52 -0400

Every poll, every poll of polls, every poll of polls of polls, shows Barack Obama's lead, particularly in the electoral college, to be sufficient to win the election. Some by a landslide, some by a smaller margin, but all concur--if the polls are accurate, Obama is the next President of the United States. The McCain camp sees the same thing (and presumably has internal polling that is just as dismal). That accounts for their increasingly ugly and desperate attacks on character and patriotism. But those attacks do not seem to be working (although they might have worked were we not in an economic crisis). So let's talk frankly about some of the things that would alter the race.

1. There is one debate left. McCain could perform brilliantly, and Obama could self-destruct by calling for jihad against America or by announcing that he, at the age of 8, did join the Weather Underground Organization. I rate this as close to impossible (for the former) and impossible (for the latter).

2. Barack Obama could be killed. I do not for a moment believe that the McCain camp desires such a thing. But I cannot believe that they are ignorant of the increasingly venomous response of some of their angrier, more weak-minded supporters. We will have to trust the Secret Service on this one. I think that some attempt on Obama's life is certainly possible, but the likelihood of success is small. As we have seen, it is a lot harder to kill a President or Presidential candidate than it looks in the movies.

This Week on Ring of Fire!

This week’s Ring of Fire, hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mike Papantonio:

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Suskind will join us this week to talk about his explosive new book – The Way of The World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism.

Best-selling author Naomi Klein will be here to tell us how Bush’s economic disaster was actually just a part of his doctrine of “shock and awe.”

Cliff Schecter, author of “The Real McCain,” will be with us to talk about McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal, and why it took so long for the Obama campaign to bring it up.

Louisa Wilcox, senior wildlife advocate for the NRDC, will tell us about their recent victory in protecting North American gray wolves.

And as always, we’ll bring you the stories that the mainstream media didn’t feel like reporting this week.
