selection '08: mccain/palin, gustav & the rnc police state

national emergency environment sets the stage for the mccain/palin election campaign
national emergency environment sets the stage for the mccain/palin election campaignfrom michel chossudovsky: The opening of the RNC has been characterised by a mass protest movement directed against the Bush administration, the candicacy of John McCain and more generally the Republican party. The presence of thousands of demonstrators in St-Paul Minneapolis has been a major factor in the Republican Party's decision to change the program of the RNC, using Hurricane Gustav as a pretext.

rnc opens with appeal for gustav aid
from ap: Republicans, determined to propel John McCain to the White House, opened their storm-shortened national convention on Monday amid distractions involving running mate Sarah Palin. The convention's opening session was abbreviated as Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast, sparing New Orleans the type of damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina almost exactly three years ago.

zogby poll puts mccain/palin in lead
zogby poll puts mccain/palin in leadfrom washington times: The Sarah Palin pick for running mate about 16 hours after Barack Obama's acceptance speech of the Democratic nomination is a gift John McCain gave to himself that doesn't quit giving, a new Zogby poll shows. "The McCain pick has probably stunted any Obama-Democratic Convention bump," Mr. Zogby told The Washington Times.

palin appearances cancelled except for meeting w/ aipac
from economic policy journal: Except for a meeting with the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, Sarah Palin appearances have been canceled, according to WSJ. "She has to familiarize herself with every position John McCain has held over a number of years. That takes work and briefing," one McCain aide said. She has been kept from contact with the media and others by Republican operatives... She had private sessions with Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and members of the pro-Israel group AIPAC. An AIPAC spokesman said Gov. Palin told its members she would "work to expand and deepen the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Israel."
