*For Rivals, Finance Crisis Is Posing on-the-Fly Tests (WaPo 9/19/08)*
By JACKIE CALMES and JEFF ZELENY
The financial crisis has turned the race between Senators John McCain and
Barack Obama into an audition for who could best handle a national economic
emergency. Mr. McCain, the Republican nominee for president, called on
President Bush on Thursday to dismiss the chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Christopher Cox, a former Republican congressman and a
Bush appointee.

Advisers give clue to candidates on economy (USA TODAY 9/19/08)
By David Jackson, Kathy Kiely and Richard Wolf
The stock market tanks. Major banks and investment firms fail. The economy
flirts with recession. Who would President Barack Obama or President John
McCain call? ...Team McCain is more professionally eclectic, reaching beyond
Washington to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have run companies such as
Hewlett-Packard and eBay. It trumpets low taxes and — at least until now —
less regulation.... McCain's economic team is a far-flung enterprise,
including dozens of specialists from Wall Street, universities and
conservative think tanks

McCain Flub? Republican Says He'd Fire SEC Chair as President (ABC Blog
09/18/08)
By Martha Raddatz
"The regulators were asleep, my friends," McCain said. "The chairman of the
SEC serves at the appointment of the president, and in my view, has betrayed
the public trust. If I were president today, I would fire him."
But while the president nominates and the Senate confirms the SEC chair, a
commissioner of an independent regulatory commission cannot be removed by
the president.

Cox said. "The best response to political jabs like this is simply to put
your head down and not lose a step doing the best job you can possibly do on
behalf of those you serve.

*McCain is criticized for position on Spain (Boston Globe 9/19/08)*
By Bryan Bender
Senator John McCain caused a stir yesterday after he would not commit, if he
becomes president, to meeting the prime minister of Spain, a key NATO ally
fighting alongside the United States in Afghanistan but which pulled its
troops out of Iraq in 2004. McCain, in an interview this week with Radio
Caracol in Miami, appeared to lump socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis
Rodriguez Zapatero with leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia who have
deep rifts with the United States.

Last night in a joint townhall meeting, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) and Sen.
John McCain (R-AZ) touted their supposed support for gender equality,
especially equal pay. Palin called herself "a product of Title IX" and
declared she and McCain would "create more legislation" to ensure equal pay.
McCain jumped in and declared himself an equally ardent supporter of women's
rights, pledging his administration would go to court to protect workplace
equality:

By Kate Zernike
She sticks to her script, even when the facts are in dispute. And while her
new stump speech talks about how she sees her role in a McCain
administration, she skims over specifics, leaving even some voters wondering
whether when she will wade into more detail.

Palin-McCain (Politico Blog 09/18/08)
By Ben Smith
Sarah Palin promises a "Palin and McCain administration" on the stump in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she was talking about small businesses.
And the reportage from the scene does suggest that the crowds are, still,
coming for the bottom of the ticket. O. Kay Henderson reports that the rally
began with chants of "We want Sarah."

*OPINIONS AND EDITORIALS*
McCain's Scapegoat (WSJ 9/19/08)
John McCain has made it clear this week he doesn't understand what's
happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does. But on Thursday,
he took his populist riffing up a notch and found his scapegoat for
financial panic -- Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

*Immigration Deception (NYT 9/19/08) *
Yes, immigration is a complicated and combustible issue for political
candidates — and the economic meltdown is everyone's top priority. No, that

McCain and Barack Obama have been doing.

*Reckless disregard: McCain and Palin's misplaced allegiance (Salt Lake
Tribune 9/19/08)
Dan Galpern
Examination of Sarah Palin's fitness to run the U.S. government - the only
proper test for a vice presidential nominee - is compromised by her
continuing negotiation with John McCain about which interviewers are safe
for her to talk with, and what she may say to them.

*A political dodge (Baltimore Sun 9/19/08)
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin can run but she can't hide. The Republican vice
presidential candidate now says she won't cooperate with a state
investigation into her firing of the state public safety chief, an inquiry
that she initially welcomed. The probe centers on charges that her dismissal
of Walter Monegan was linked to his refusal to fire a state trooper who was
caught up in a messy divorce with Mrs. Palin's sister.*

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has awesome self-confidence. Chosen by fellow

"I'm ready."That confidence reflects her naivete about her role that puts
