Live Analysis of Governor Granholm’s Michigan State of the State Address « Republican Ranting
-
The Michigan State of the State address is about to begin. I will be live blogging the event, giving my analysis (so my apologies for any spelling errors - I’ll fix them eventually).
Alright, she’s entering the chamber (I’m not sure if this is the House or Senate - probably House since it’s bigger).

House of Representatives Passes $819 Billion Economic Stimulus Package « Republican Ranting
-
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, H.R. 1, Congress’s latest economic stimulus package. That bill passed 244-188; 11 Democrats broke ranks, while all of the voting Republicans voted against it. First, I would like to commend the 11 Democrats who voted against the $819 billion “stimulus” bill. This bill is an atrocity to the Congressional system of appropriations. Instead of focusing on true STIMULUS (after all, it is an “economic STIMULUS package”), the Democrats in the House packed the bill with billions of dollars of un-stimulating spending. For those of you who want to read the sources, here’s the version of the bill as it was introduced (it has been slightly changed, but not too much), here’s the summary from the House Appropriations Committee, and here’s the cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office. And here’s the link to the roll call vote, Roll number 46.

Live Analysis of the Final Presidential Debate « Republican Ranting
-
Alright, we’re moments away from the beginning of the debate. As always, I’ll be watching CNN, who will have a focus group (undecided voters in Ohio) with a tracking rating of how people like what they’re hearing (broken up by men and women). WordPress just added an option to add polls, so I’ll see if I can get that working after the debate is over and post a poll about who won.

Live Analysis of the Vice Presidential Debate « Republican Ranting
-
Ifill: Talking about the Senate bill. “Was this the worst of Washington, or the best of Washington?”
Biden: Neither. The economic policies of the last 8 years were the worst part. Obama laid out rescue plan: Oversight, “focus on homeowners and folks on mainstreet, treat taxpayers like investors, and lastly, make sure CEOs don’t benefit.” “We will fundamentally change the … economic policy.”

Gas Prices Are Too High, and Joe Knollenberg Has a Plan to Fix That « Republican Ranting
-
Alright, this is the next segment in my series on the race for Michigan’s 9th District. Although it doesn’t directly tie into what’s going on in the race, gas prices are rising and that’s making it an important issue (especially considering the current economy).
Knollenberg himself, outlined a plan to reduce gas prices, saying, “These high gas prices are totally unacceptable.”
