Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today said he would veto the long overdue budget lawmakers sent him just hours before because it does not include long-term spending changes he wants.
The move extends the state's record-setting budget impasse and sets up what could be an unprecedented override attempt.
"People aren't getting paid, hospitals are in danger of closing, but I will not sign a get out of town budget…that punishes taxpayers," Schwarzenegger said.
If lawmakers vote to override the veto, Schwarzenegger said, he will veto all the bills awaiting action on his desk.

No leadership there with Schwarzenegger.What a mistake the California GOP made when they selected him to run in a recall election. -
John McCain used an appearance before a blue-collar crowd near Youngstown, Ohio, to take a class-tinged shot at Barack Obama tonight.
"He talks about siding with the people just before he flew off for a fundraiser in Hollywood with Barbra Streisand," McCain said of his rival. "Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than right here with the working men and women of Ohio."
McCain used the line as his close at an airport hangar rally, drawing loud applause.

A new 527 has emerged. Called BornAliveTruth.org, the political organization says its mission "is to educate the public on the IL Born Alive Infants Protection Act and Senator Obama's record opposing this act."
In this TV ad, which is said to be airing in battleground states New Mexico and Ohio, a woman named Gianna Jessen says she survived an failed abortion, and criticizes Obama for voting against legislation that would have declared that if a baby survives an abortion its life must be saved. -
But the Democrats will use the contrived flap to energize African american voters to vote for Obama. Who says Obama is a post-racial candidate?

Yes, here come the Democrt campaign transfers made famous by Willie Brown. Raise money from all of the special interests and launder it around the state. So much for transparency.

The math does not compute for Obama's tax pledge. Well, Duh!

It's Just a Matter of Time Before Team Obama Tries to Shut Us All Down
Team Obama targeted our own David Freddoso last night. Guy Benson forwards the attack message:

here should be more made of the cherry-picking of McCain's words yesterday. From [McClatchy] via your own Campaign Spot:
"People are frightened by these events,'' he told a friendly crowd of 3,000 supporters on the opening day of a two-day Florida tour. "The fundamentals of our economy are still strong but these are very, very difficult times. I promise you we will never put America in this position again.''
No wonder every phrase must be crafted to be able to stand alone. Out of context, optimism sounds like ignorance.

Even as he faces a 16-count federal indictment on charges that include racketeering and soliciting bribes, Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) may be down, but he isn’t out. At least not yet.
Devoid of virtually any influence in Congress and with his campaign treasury almost empty, Jefferson may still have a path to victory in the Democratic primary next month. By virtue of his high name identification and a small cadre of die-hard supporters, he is hoping to win enough votes in the crowded Oct. 4 primary to head into a runoff. And his likely runoff opponent is the only white candidate in the seven-person field, creating a racially divided contest that Jefferson has a real chance of winning.
