Roger Bybee, longtime editor of Racine Labor newspaper, now a freelancer, has been covering labor issues in Paul Ryan's district for decades. Writing for In These Times, uncorks a devastating analysis of what Paul Ryan sees as class warfare. Highlights:
In his severely distorted view of the “class war” currently splitting America apart, House Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who represents southeastern Wisconsin’s crumbling factory towns, reflects a juvenile embrace of the view of his heroine Ayn Rand (required reading for his entire staff).
Like Rand, Ryan interprets any move toward easing America’s crushing inequality as showing ingratitude toward those he worships as the “job creators.”

Obama Cancels SNL Appearance, Scales Back Campaigning Due To Ike

Obama held a campaign event this morning in Manchester, New Hampshire, but Joe Biden did not also appear as originally intended.
Palin To Do Solo Rally Today
Sarah Palin will be campaigning today in Carson City, Nevada, for her first swing-state campaign event without John McCain himself by her side, scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET. It's a good bet that Palin by herself will get a bigger and more enthusiastic crowd than McCain himself has gotten at his own solo events.
Poll: McCain Backers Now More Enthusiastic Than Obama's
Here's a very interesting number from the new Newsweek poll: Overall, the race is tied 46%-46%, but it's now John McCain's voters who are stronger in their support than Barack Obama's -- a reversal of what we've seen throughout the rest of the cycle. Seventy-one percent of McCain's voters support him strongly, edging out Obama's 67% strong support, compared to 39% strong support for McCain and 61% for Obama from two months ago.
