Fri. Show Prep - $700 billion edition at ProductionNinja.com

Sun Sentinel: At the Sun-Sentinel they have a rundown of things that you could actually buy for $700 billion. My favorite is their observation that you could literally buy the world a Coke. One 2-liter bottle per week for every person on the planet. But also take a few minutes to think about what you could buy with your $2300 share of the $700 billion bailout.
WTVQ: A principal in Kentucky has decided to ban a certain set of colors because he is worried that they might incite gang violence. The problem? He banned the school’s colors. Another victory for zero tolerance policies.
AP: As advanced as gadgets have become here in the US, we’re always at least several years behind Japan. Now a company has introduced a cell phone that will unlock and start your car. Not only does that have nightmare written all over or it if the phone was stolen, but I can tell you one thing for certain, even if my cell phone could unlock my doors and start my car, that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t lock my keys AND my phone in my car at least once.
AFP: NASA big cheese Michael Griffin says that space exploration is a key the very survival of the human race. I agree of course, but everyone knows I’m a card-carrying NASA cheerleader. Which do you think is the better selling point, the future of the human race, or the fact that if we don’t get going China may literally own the Moon in ten years?
Seriously, is there any pollster out there that actually knows what they are doing? Today alone we have three completely different polls out there: Zogby has McCain up by 2, Gallup has the race tied at 46%, and Rasmussen has Obama up by 3. Of course all of them are still within their margins of error… so basically, the race is still tied.

Now that the Senate has passed the 700 billon bailout has Obamas destiny been sealed?

I still think it’s 50/50 at this point… Obama’s lead is starting to shrink just a little bit, and I agree with Dick Morris who said that the race is still fluid, and Obama may have peaked a little too early.
