It Could Happen!

We understand Terry McAuliffe (aka, “The Macker”) caused quite a stir on the floor yesterday, first convening with Virginia governor Tim Kaine and then taking time to talk with the delighted delegates, posing for pictures, signing autographs, trying on their hats… and listening to their concerns. He’s obviously a natural politician, though he’s never run for office. Yet. At the Virginia delegation breakfast, McAuliffe responded with candor to a delegate reporter asking about a possible gubernatorial run:

“I’m focused on this election, I am going full time for Senator Obama,” said McAuliffe, who lives in McLean. “But I never rule anything out. …Everyday is a new opportunity. I would like to be Pope if I could.”

Also causing a stir on the floor? Kaine’s extremely hot, possibly not fully legal son. Go youth vote!

    Rick Santorum Wants to Fight ‘The Dangers Of Contraception’

    Occupy the Regulatory Open Comment Period!

    There’s nothing “wrong” with protests built around placard-hoisting and park-squatting, but Occupy the SEC is definitely doing something right with its radically different tack. The OWS-offshoot has submitted a 325-page letter to federal financial regulatory agencies on the Volcker Rule, a controversial measure designed to prohibit banks from proprietary trading, or making investments with their own dollars rather than their customers’, that was passed as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law.
