WASHINGTON — President-elect Obama’s advisers are quietly crafting a proposal to ship dozens, if not hundreds, of imprisoned terrorism suspects to the United States to face criminal trials, a plan that would make good on his promise to close the Guantanamo Bay prison but could require creation of a controversial new system of justice.
During his campaign, Obama described Guantanamo as a “sad chapter in American history” and has said generally that the U.S. legal system is equipped to handle the…

I don’t think this Hail Mary can knock Obama’s stars out of alignment…

“If we had any skinheads in this county I wasn’t aware of it. We hardly know what they are,” said Sam Lewis, who lives across the street from the mother of suspect Daniel Cowart. Cowart, he said, grew up in the comfortable, well-maintained neighborhood and wasn’t known as a troublemaker.
“His mother is a real sweet, nice girl, and this comes as a shock and a surprise,” Lewis said.
Cowart is charged along with Paul Schlesselman, 18, of Helena-West Helena, Ark., with…

New spot by the Our Country Deserves Better PAC attempts to tie Obama’s beliefs those of the former Weather Underground member, pastor and disgraced mayor.
“Sorry, senator. But if this is the kind of change you want for our America, then you can keep the change.”

This election is starting to shed new light on the phrase Vote Or Die.
Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.
Update: Don’t forget, this isn’t the first attack on a McCain supporter.
Bizarre Twist: The attack happened yesterday and wasn’t reported immediately.
It seems a bit…

WASHINGTON (AP) – The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters…

A network spokeswoman confirmed the buy and said MLB had agreed to the network’s request for the delay.
Fox now joins CBS and NBC in airing the half hour program, whose content the Obama campaign has declined to describe. The decision means that the Obama campaign is…

This six-minute gutter brawl between Sean Hannity and Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs that does nothing but lower the public discourse, but is really fun to watch.
I have to say, I think Obama spokesman Gibbs got the best of Hannity. However, his argument that Hannity is responsible for the views of anyone he is interviewing is flawed. Hannity is a news man, however clearly biased he is, it’s his job to interview controversial figures and you could make an argument that…

Sing for Change chronicles a recent Sunday afternoon, when 22 children, ages 5-12, gathered to sing original songs in the belief that their singing would lift up our communities for the coming election. Light, hope, courage and love shine through these nonvoting children who believe that their very best contribution to the Obama campaign is to sing.
Sing for Change was a confluence of hard work, good will, and shared vision. Inspired by ideas raised at a grassroots Obama fundraiser, a…

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) ended three days of suspense on Friday morning and announced that he will leave bailout negotiations in Washington and fly to Oxford, Miss., for the opening presidential debate.
McCain had previously said that he would suspend his campaign until an agreement was reached on the administration’s $700 billion mortgage proposal.
No such agreement has been reached, but Republicans said the standoff was hurting McCain’s campaign, and that he would look terrible if he didn’t attend the nationally televised,…

John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
“America this week faces an historic crisis in our financial system. We must pass legislation to address this crisis. If…

AURORA (MyFOXColorado.com) – An 11-year-old in Aurora says his first amendment rights are being trampled after he was suspended for wearing a homemade shirt that reads “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.”
The fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School wore it on a day when students were asked to wear red, white and blue to show their patriotism.
The boy’s father Dann Dalton describes himself as a “proud conservative” who has taken part in some controversial anti-abortion protests. Dalton says the…
