Campaign 2008
•
McCain Camp Makes a Run at Michigan – If McCain wins the election, it may be thanks to Michigan -- a prize the Republicans think they can claim for the first time in nearly 20 years. On Friday, McCain and Palin arrived in a Detroit suburb to begin their final election sprint.
•
Candidates Promote Economic Agendas – Obama and McCain seized on the jobs report to promote their own economic agendas and score some points against each other. The U.S. jobless rate jumped unexpectedly in August to 6.1% of the work force, a five-year high, according to the report.
A transcript of the weekend's program: The pros and cons of Palin. Plus a look ahead to the Republican convention, and a look back at the Democratic one. Tune in this weekend for more: FOX News Channel, Saturday 5:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. and Sunday 6 a.m. ET.

ABOUT US
We speak for free markets and free people, the principles, if you will, marked in the watershed year of 1776 by Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence and Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." So over the past century and into the next, the Journal stands for free trade and sound money; against confiscatory taxation and the ukases of kings and other collectivists; and for individual autonomy against dictators, bullies and even the tempers of momentary majorities.
