Open Thread: McCain's Mansions
Submitted by Frank Eaton on Tue, 08/19/2008 - 9:47am.Robert Greenwald has released a new viral video about the many mansions of John McCain. It's disgusting.
However, I've also been doing some thinking (in the aftermath of the Edwards whizzbang) about how wealthy candidates are able to inflate their own bubbles, float safely within them above the machinery of party and populi, and thus avoid so much of what makes financially scrappy politicians more accountable.

The Winston-Salem Journal Endorses Dan Besse for Lt. Governor and Roy Carter in the 5th!
Submitted by Frank Eaton on Wed, 04/16/2008 - 8:02am.From the Winston-Salem Journal this morning:
DAN BESSE
A lawyer, Besse spent a number of years lobbying in Raleigh on issues related to the environment, poverty and health-care access, so he knows the legislative process.
Besse also has a good mix of state and local government experience. For 20 years, he served on important state commissions that oversee, among other things, environmental and coastal regulation, and he’s now in his seventh year on the Winston-Salem City Council. He’s a hardworking, accessible councilman known for his reasoned responses to issues. He can use the lieutenant governor’s office as a bully pulpit for the issues about which he has been most passionate in his career of public service - the environment and access to health-insurance coverage for North Carolinians.
