Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

12 days.

NBC's David Gregory just did a piece on George Bush. McCain keeps telling people he's not George Bush. It has become a standard line in his stump speech. If McCain has to keep invoking Bush to say he's not Bush, then he's just reminding everyone about Bush. Last March, when Bush endorsed McCain, McCain wanted Bush's help:

Q Senator McCain, given President Bush's low approval ratings, will this be a negative or a positive for you? And how much do you hope he'll campaign for you on the trail?

SENATOR McCAIN: I hope that he will campaign for me as much as is keeping with his busy schedule. I'll be pleased to have him with me both from raising money and the much needed finances for the campaign, and addressing the challenging issues that face this country. I'm pleased to have him as is -- as it fits into his busy schedule.
And don't forget what McCain said of Bush, "I did everything I could to get him elected and re-elected"

Also want to give a shout out to the amazing Van Jones. His book, The Green Collar Economy, has hit the New York Times best seller list. Nice job and it is a very timely book.

12 days to change the world.
