In many comments and diaries I have seen different combinations of winning states and claims of which states were needed or which ones he could lose and still win. But these are all over the place. I thought it would be useful to put together all of the scenarios that would result in President Obama being re-elected given the set of swing states still in play. The scenarios are based on the following states being in play:

Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada, and New Hampshire.

Below the Squiggle is the complete list of scenarios for winning, losing, and even worse than losing - tying, because that would put the vote for President to the House of Representatives and I don't think any of us could stomach watching that go down.

Hope it useful and link it in comments where it might be useful.

What is it about the third rail that our politicians just don't get.

From the New York Times:

Lawmakers Offer Bipartisan Plan to Overhaul Medicare

A Democratic senator, Ron Wyden of Oregon, and a Republican representative, Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, unveiled a bipartisan plan on Wednesday to revamp Medicare and make a fixed federal contribution to the cost of coverage for each beneficiary.

There is a bit more over the squiggly!

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released its report called Divided We Stand: Why Inequality Keeps Rising yesterday.

In releasing report the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría said:

The social contract is starting to unravel in many countries. This study dispels the assumptions that the benefits of economic growth will automatically trickle down to the disadvantaged and that greater inequality fosters greater social mobility. Without a comprehensive strategy for inclusive growth, inequality will continue to rise.

Social contract breaking down? Indeed. Trickle-down doesn't work? Really? No kidding!

More after the squiggly!

Today the New York Times provides us with some information on the latest plan for dealing with the banks and their bad assets.

Reference:
Toxic Asset Plan Foresees Big Subsidies for Investors
This article is by Edmund L. Andrews, Eric Dash and Graham Bowley.

This is the latest addition to Operation Obfuscation and Subterfuge. In much the same way as the AIG bailouts were used to funnel taxpayer money to banks while fleecing the taxpayers we get a glimpse into how the US Treasury and their partners in crime on Wall Street are going to fleece the taxpayers on the Public/Private Toxic Asset plan.

Over the fold we get to see the real deal.

What is going on with the financial crisis is serious business. I think we all get that. But what has been happening is that we have been treated to a variety of reasons for the calamity and what needs to be done about it. The one thing lacking is the truth.

We were told all about the need for a solution for the problem. Whether we call that a bailout or a rescue plan is of little consequence as it seemingly doesn't matter. Congress passed a bill that the President signed into law to use to attack the problem. However, nothing at all has been done with the new powers and money. The only actions we have been seeing are those that the government had the power to do under existing law.

We are even seeing where they have taken to just making stuff up that they can do under that new law. The suggestion that the US Treasury can simply invest in banks without actually buying up the bad assets in exchange for equity is completely unfounded. But no one, not even the authors of the bill are calling them out on it. It is to the point that most people don't know what to make of it. I suspect experts would believe that there is something far worse that the government is hiding.

One thing that is for sure is that Monday - and this week - should be quite interesting.

The Bush Administration is in the process of completely usurping powers not given it by the constitution and (as of this writing) it seems that the Democrats may just roll over for them.

Since it seems to be a blank slate at far as writing the laws go I thought I would put together a list of laws that would really benefit the people of America. I exclude no one, including the filthy rich that are lining up at the government trough as we speak. Though I suspect that they would reject my list

This list includes provisions not only for the things that led to the mortgage mess and the side-effects that we see today but it also includes things that are also eating the people of America alive. I have included such topics as mortgages, the stock market, banks, insurance companies, credit card companies, infrastructure, utilities, fossil fuels, privatization of government functions, health care. There are quite a few.

If you have a few moments, jump over the fold and take a look at the list.

As long as he runs as George Bush, both he and the Republicans are going to lose. It is not as if he has any choice since he doesn't have any accomplishments of his own. Tying himself to the Bush Administration ~~accomplishments~~ disasters is now beginning to strangle what little life was left in his campaign.

Barack Obama has no such baggage. He brings to the table a whole buffet.

The economy is not only going to destroy McCain it is going to take quite a few House seats that weren't already in jeopardy and perhaps an extra Senate seat or two. As long as the Democrats, in local advertising, pin the economy on them and then hang George Bush around the Republican candidate's neck like an anchor.

No matter how much propping up of Wall Street the Bush Administration does they have already lost Main Street. Joe and Jane Six-Pack are getting crushed. The vise has been tightening for years and they know who was minding the store the whole time.

When I started on deciphering the Sarah Palin pick it was most certainly from a reactionary point of view. Despite being aware of the issues with TrooperGate that appeared on this site and elsewhere weeks before her selection she was not on my radar screen as Vice-Presidential nominee.

I was just as eager to see this as selection as "raw meat" thrown to the lions. I discovered that I couldn't be more wrong. Follow over the break for how I view the selection of Sarah Palin.
