    Monday Morning Jane

    By CJP | October 27, 2008

      Good morning, Janes!  Our favorite wise man (don't you have one, too?) said over the weekend that a goal without a plan is just a wish. 

    So that got us thinking: What's our goal over the next eight days?  To get as many Janes to the polls as humanly possible.  What are we going to do about that?  We're going to spend the week telling you about House races, Senate races, poll times and poll locations.  We're telling you about first ladies, second ladies, first dudes and possible White House chiefs of staff.  We're talking top of the ticket, bottom of the heap and an election so historic, they'll be writing about this one for years. 

    And it all starts today, with your Morning Jane...

    Top Domestic Story:  Campaign 2008

    • Barack Obama spoke to crowds of more than 150,000 in Colorado over the weekend, a state that went for the Republicans in 2000 and 2004.  One woman said, "I don't want to miss this if he's going to be the next president."  [Denver Post] 
    • John McCain warned in an Ohio speech that an Obama administration + a Democratic House and Senate= Bigger government and more taxes.   "You can imagine Obama, Reid and Pelosi," he said. "Tax and spend, tax and spend."  [AP]
    • Obama gives his "closing argument" speech today at 12:30, and will likely sound like this: "There are no real or fake parts of this country. We are not separated by the pro-America and anti-America parts of this country; we all love this country, no matter where we live, no matter where we come from."  [The Page]
    Top International Story:  U.S. forces reportedly crossed from Iraq five miles into Syria on a commando raid, killing at least eight people.  It appears to be the first time American forces have launched a raid in the country.  On Sunday, the Syrian government complained of "dangerous aggression" by the U.S. military.  [L.A. Times]
    The women of the Iraqi parliament walked out in protest when the Speaker said women make bad leaders "because they are easily distracted by worries their husband might take a second wife."  The women returned to the applause of men in the room and women around the country.  Said one, "We decided to show them that without women, you cannot pass laws."  Snaps, Iraqi ladies!    [USA Today]
    Closer to home, if women will inject fanny fat and botulism into their faces, we feel like the success of Lumigen is written in the stars.  It's a treatment for Glaucoma whose side effect is doubling the length of eye lashes.  [Daily Mail]
    *TiVo Alert*  Michelle Obama will be on the "Tonight Show" tonight.
