Stories to Watch: 10/28/11

What a day. Just crisis after crisis. Everything seems to be squared away now and I'm about to put my loaf of sourdough in the oven. Hoping for a quiet night. This one's going to be pretty short. Now here's the news...


You know that guy who's smoking in that weird Herman Cain ad? Yeah, that's Cain's campaign manager Mark Block and he's one unsavory guy. According to AP, "Block has been accused of voter suppression and was banned from running Wisconsin political campaigns for three years to settle accusations he coordinated a judge's re-election campaign with a special interest group." He's also a tax dodger and a drunk driver.


Mittens Romney flips again on global warming; "we don’t know what’s causing climate change." Sorry Mitt, but we do.


George Will is a lot less than impressed with Mittens -- while all but verifying he's the best thing they've got.


In a sign of how far the debate has shifted, Rep. Paul Ryan writes that the GOP is worried about the "safety net for the poor" -- in a fundraising email to the base. Forget the blatant hypocrisy here and consider what that means; the GOP base is the 99% and the GOP knows it.


Scott Olsen, the vet who was the victim of the Oakland police riot, has suffered brain damage and can't speak, but is expected to eventually make a full recovery.


Finally, Egyptians march in support of Occupy Oakland.
