"The Hill" is a great place to get breaking news from inside the beltway, and to find some great fodder for discussion. Just left there with two great stories. In the first one, it seems that John McCain's Republicans are trying to DEFEND DEREGULATION ahead of next weeks hearings on same...you know, get out ahead of the game before everyone STARTS PLACING BLAME. In the second story, perhaps far more earth shattering in nature, it seems that the KARL ROVE, the only brain behind the Bush Dynasty has Barrack Winning enough electorial votes right now to WIN THE WHITE HOUSE...is that the FAT LADY I hear warming up, or Sarah Palin sputtering again in trying to answer a Katie Couric question?

House Republicans defended "deregulation" in advance of House Oversight and Government Reform hearings designed to assign blame for the financial market crisis that prompted Congress to pass a $700 billion rescue plan last week.
"In the midst of the most serious financial crisis in a generation, some claim that deregulation is entirely to blame," states the report, which was written by Republican staff on the oversight committee.

Republican strategist Karl Rove on Sunday said the race for the White House is currently played on the GOP side of the map but noted that “rapid changes” could again alter the picture.
Rove, who has Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama leading in enough states to clinch the electoral vote, noted on Fox News Sunday that the Illinois senator has solidified his advantages in blue states while the race is tightening in several states President Bush carried in the last election.
“Obama has forced this more on to the Republican turf and off of the Democratic turf, and that's where you'd like to be at this point,” Rove said. According to state polls, the GOP strategist has Obama leading in states with 273 electoral votes while Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) is ahead in states with 163 electoral votes.
