Don’t adjust your sets.  It’s me.  In for Gretchen this morning.  Here’s what we’re talking about.

What do you think of bailing out the auto industry?

who should lead the Republican Party?

did John McCain’s defense of Sarah Palin on the Tonight show go far enough?  if not, What should he have said?

I’ll be on today from 5pm - 6pm.  If you’re in front of your computer, check it out online.

Oh, and I’ll be filling in for Gretchen this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  See ya then!

We’re talking about media bias this morning.  There’s more evidence of it this morning in one of the nation’s most respected papers.  Feel free to share any examples of it you’ve stumbled upon this election season.

Why do women always feel colder than men?  We have the science behind it.  Is there a couple out there that doesn’t have this issue?  I’d like to hear from you.  Wait until you hear how Clayton and Dave (my work husbands) and I work it out.

Also feel free to submit your entries for “What were They Thinking” here.  We’ll show you some photos from the last week, you supply the thought bubbles.

That’s the question the RNC, pundits and politicians alike are asking this morning.  Where does the GOP go from here?  Should the party become more moderate and try to appeal to the young voters with whom Obama had such success or should the party get more conservative?  Was the problem in this election that McCain didn’t represent the conservative base well enough?  Thoughts?  Suggestions?

Whatever will we all do now that November 4th has come and gone?  No more election coverage?  Don’t worry, we’ve still got a lot of politics and much more to talk about.  Remember “Know Your Candidates”?  We’re changing this weekend to “Know Your Cabinet”.  We’ll tell you some facts and stories about President-elect Obama’s cabinet choices that you’ve probably never have heard.   First up: Rahm Emanuel.    And what’s next for Sarah Palin?  We’ll talk to some of her most famous supporters to see what their plans are for her.  What do you think her next move will be?

See you tomorrow at 7am (est)!

Thanks to you guys, I am the big winner this week going 3-1

Dave and Rick were both 2-2

And bringing up the rear was Dave at 1-3

The standings are below:

Good morning Everyone,

I’m in the Greenroom today to bring you behind-the-scenes scoop of what the pundits and politicians are REALLY saying about this campaign.  What questions do you have for them this morning?

And tell me your election stories.  Anyone voted yet?  What was the experience like?  Long lines?  When will you vote today?  Care to share for whom you’ll pull the lever?

Houston @ Minnesota

Baltimore @ Cleveland

Green Bay @ Tennessee

Pittsburg @ Washington

Good Morning Everyone,

Sorry to get you up an hour early but don’t worry, tomorrow you get an extra hour of sleep!

So which just who will get a tax hike and who will get a tax cut under Barack Obama’s plan?  Apparently even his campaign surrogates can’t get this one right.  We’ll tell you the latest person to drastically reduce Obama’s tax cap from $250,000 to $120,000.  Why do these numbers fluctuate so wildly?

And who snuck onto the Saturday Night Live set just as they were preparing a skit to parody him??  We’ll tell you what happened when this World’s Worst Person caught them in the act.   Any thoughts on Olberman?

Hey Guys, We’ve lined up an interesting show for you tomorrow.  We’ve got Joe the Plumber and pudits galore to plumb the depths of the dwindling days of the campaign. 

And WE’RE STARTING AN HOUR EARLY tomorrow!  Set your alarm clocks all your goblins.  We’re on at 6am (et).  At that hour, I’ll have barely removed my pointy black witch hat (insert your own punchline here).    See ya then!
