US Politics
CNN 11-7. Obama received 53% of the popular vote.
Senator Byrd, 90, will give up his chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee.
CBS 11-9. 60 Minutes. The Obama Campaign. From the beginning Obama was clear as to what he wanted to say and do. He wanted a grassroots, idealistic approach. The organization was designed to be agile and to take risks. A record $600 million dollars was raised. There was no infighting, no turnover, and there were almost no leaks. The atmosphere was like that of a loving family. David Axelrod will go to the White House as Senior Advisor to Obama. Robert Gibbs will go as Press Secretary.
NY Times 11-11. The 2008 Election ended the centrality of the South in US national politics. The suburban south, in Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida, went for Obama. It has had an influx of better educated and more prosperous voters. The core of “red” voters, who are poor, uneducated, and white, is in the Appalachian and Ozark Mountains. The men are focused on hunting and military life.
Reuters 11-13. Sen. Ted Stevens now trails his democratic opponent, Mayor Mark Begich of Anchorage, Alaska.
US Economy
PBS 11-12. The federal government is turning to help the US auto industry, student loan sources, and credit card companies.
NY Times 11-13. Quotation of the Day. “People are grieving. There was death. Their money died.” Semi-retired psychotherapist Debray Beach, Florida
