Top Transition Stories - 11/03

A roundup of today's top stories from across the Web:

President Bush "is engineering what may be the most carefully considered and potentially successful presidential transition in modern times, both Democrats and Republicans close to the process say," Bloomberg News reports.

• "Among the president-elect's first tasks will be defining the government's new role as overseer or shareholder of large financial companies," the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reports.

John McCain and Barack Obama "have said they would close" Gitmo, but a"review of the government's public files underscores the challenges of fulfilling that promise," the New York Times reports. "The next president will have to contend with sobering intelligence claims against many of the remaining detainees."

• "The biggest obstacle John McCain would have as president will be sitting at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue -- a Congress more Democratic than it is today," the Detroit Free Press reports. "Should McCain pull off the upset (that's what it would be at this point) he'll have his work cut out."

• "If Obama wins, he is likely to find it easier to get key officials quickly cleared through Senate confirmation, with Democrats in control on Capitol Hill than McCain who could see key personel challenged by the rival party," Agence France-Presse reports.

• "Americans will elect not only a president on Tuesday, but also his huge team of aides, advisers and bureaucrats who will help the winner run the federal government for the next four years," AP reports.

• "A phalanx of liberal think tanks and interest groups -- anticipating a Democratic victory on Tuesday -- are mobilizing to push" Obama "to the left of his campaign positions," the Wall Street Journal reports.

Gucci Sneakers


I decided a little while ago to do what I can to make sure that what little privacy I have left is completely in my control. There are ways to protect one's privacy, of course. But is it possible that if we all become "un-privacized," we'll simply be in a different paradigm with new and interesting expectations of privacy? The strange will become the new.
