“It would have to be someone the American people could trust to do the right thing, protect their interests, not mismanage the fund, and reaffirm trust in the market,” says a Senate leadership aide.

p> MINDLESS GAME br> Sen. Barack Obama and his debate prep team were surprised that Sen. John McCain remained calm and collected during the debate. Obama’s continual references to “John,” while McCain referred to Obama as “Senator,” was intended to needle McCain’s patience in hopes for a flash of McCain’s infamous temper. But McCain was, according to campaign advisers, ready for the needle and didn’t take the bait. /p>
