Hey. Tuesday again. What, 56 days to go? Hoo Ray. We'll be at Free State from about 8 until 10. I just can't give it up.

And another thing. It is now 7.7 trillion dollars for the bailout. Why another bank but not the Auto Companies? Is it the Union?

Nov. 24 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government is prepared to provide more than $7.76 trillion on behalf of American taxpayers after guaranteeing $306 billion of Citigroup Inc. debt yesterday. The pledges, amounting to half the value of everything produced in the nation last year, are intended to rescue the financial system after the credit markets seized up 15 months ago.

Hi Folks. Another Tuesday is right around the corner. Join us for another fine evening at the Free State. Ask for us at the front desk. We'll be there from about 8 until 10. We have been enjoying the woop-tee-doo surrounding regime change.

This week's blurb is provided by Bob Gent:

Two days before the election, in Peterborough, New Hampshire, McCain repeated his old line welcoming "Republicans, independents, Democrats, libertarians, and vegetarians" to his cause. Yet most of his old coalition had already deserted him. Even the voters who turned out at his rallies were often not there to see him: they had come for Sarah Palin. During joint events, which drew thousands more people than his solo appearances, she usually received louder cheers than he did. In Hershey, Pennsylvania, a few weeks ago, many in the crowd filed out after Palin introduced McCain, while he was starting his stump speech. On the day before the election, she and McCain campaigned separately: about five hundred people attended McCain's rally in Tampa, Florida; an estimated seventeen thousand came to see Palin in Jefferson City, Missouri. "She's like the plant in 'Little Shop of Horrors,'" McCain's friend Bob Kerrey said. "She's devouring him."

Hi Folks. It was a good week. Come join us tonight at Free State. We'll be there from 8 until 10. Ask for us at the front desk.

Here is a little blurb from daily KOS about a perceived trend for the republicans. Even George Will mentioned on one of those Sunday talking head shows that they run a risk of staying a regional party.

It's hard not to look at the map -- particularly in the House -- and not view the GOP as a regional party right now. If it weren’t for the party's relative strength in the South, the party would be in even worse shape.
