Today's show includes two major stories that crossed the PL desk over the weekend: a big endorsement and an even bigger fundraising haul. Get the scoop on those stories and more in today's Political Lunch.
Today's PL Snack takes a look at the bailout bill failure blame game. Who's fault was it, and is anyone (on "Main Street") really that broken up about it? ALSO: Have you heard about this "Great Schlep"?
Have no fear, political junkies, it appears tonight's debate is back on as planned. Today Rob and Will take a look at 48 hours of John McCain. ALSO: Are Kissinger and Palin on the same page?
Today's Thursday Snack takes a look at John McCain's "suspended" campaign, and his call to postpone tomorrow's debate. Could Obama really be taking the stage alone?
Your Monday Lunch kicks off with a review of the candidates' reaction to the news that two more major financial institutions have collapsed. Also, what did they have to say about Hurricane Ike (surprisingly little), and what did the Times find out about Sarah Palin? (Make sure to watch until the end for a clip of Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL!)
Today on Political Lunch, Rob reviews the Bush, Thompson and Lieberman speeches (guess who won the prize for most divisive...), plus more tear gas hits the press and Ron Paul rallies his troops across the river with Jesse Ventura.
From the Republican National Convention, Rob Millis reports on the parties, the protests and the Palin. Plus, Amy Goodman, Rep. Deborah Pryce, consultant Mike Murphy, The Liffey pub, and we get rescued from teargas.
Highlights from Barack Obama's acceptance speech at Invesco Field on the final night of the Democratic National Convention. Join Political Lunch next week for another week of convention coverage from St. Paul for the Republican National Convention.
