WASHINGTON (CAP) - With a little over a month to go before the general election, most national polls now give Democrat Barak Obama a slight edge over Republican counterpart John McCain. More troubling for McCain, however, are a series of popularity and likeability (PAL) polls, which show Barak Obama gaining ground on the all-important have-a-beer-with front.
"You had Obama barely edging McCain in the Who Would You Rather Watch a Football Game With poll, the Who Would You Rather Shoot Pool With poll, and the increasingly important Who Would You Rather Watch Dancing With The Stars With poll," said independent political analyst Hugh Smithers.
WASHINGTON (CAP) - The upheaval of the U.S. financial markets continued today as the Fed announced that the Federal Reserve Board will purchase ailing properties Baltic Ave, Marvin Gardens and Boardwalk for an unprecedented $3,650.

"We are working closely with the other players to enhance the stability and orderliness of these key properties and minimize the disruption to the Monopoly economy," said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. "With the government's help, everyone will pass Go and will collect $200."
