"Joe, Perry is still the front runner", but Frank, Gore is on the trail. Former 49ers Great Joe "The Jet" Perry Passes Away by David Fucillo on Apr 25, 2011 8:06 PM PDT in In Memoriam As we look through 49ers history, Roger Craig and Frank Gore usually get a ton of love in the argument over best running back in 49ers history. Roger Craig was a dual rushing/receiving threat while Marshal Faulk and Ladanian Tomlinson were still learning about football. Frank Gore has put up some monster numbers in a short period of time while playing on some fairly abysmal offenses. Both are great running backs. However, before Craig or Gore, or Ricky Watters or anybody else came along, the 49ers had a running back named Joe Perry. Although Frank Gore is climbing the team's all-time leaderboard, Joe Perry remains the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 8,689yards and 68 rushing touchdowns. He made his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969 after a career that included one MVP, two first-team All Pros, and three Pro Bowl nods. He was a part of the Million Dollar backfield that included Hugh McElhenny, John Henry Johnson, and Y.A. Tittle. ninersnation.com

Obama Fundraising Suffers Huge Drop-off ............................................................................................................ by Keith Koffler on September 27, 2011 http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/09/27/obama-fundraising-incurs-huge-dropoff/ President Obama will raise substantially less in the second quarter of his campaign than the first, according to the New York Times. The paper writes that Obama campaign manager Jim Messina has told Democratic officials that the president will raise about $55 million in the quarter that ends Sept. 30, about $30 million less than he raised the first quarter of his campaign – which was the second quarter of the year, ending June 30. The news was – gosh who would have expected – buried within the Times story. No doubt, $55 million is a lot of money. But something’s not right. The campaign attributes part of the decline to the need for Obama to stay in Washington address budget battles with Republicans. That is – sorry for the inconvenience – the need to be president. But a separate Times article Saturday that said many small donors are hesitant to start giving to Obama again. And it’s no secret that even for Democrats, the thrill is gone. This helps explain the vitriol Obama has been dumping out on the campaign trail. He needs to get people motivated to send him their money, and if he can get the hating thing going – hate Republicans, hate the rich, hate EVERYONE – maybe they’ll part with some cash.

ken...And I thought hussein obama would just declare marshall law or something and declare himself king...but here is another way to extend his rule? Perdue jokes about suspending Congressional elections for two years Submitted by jbfrank on 2011-09-27 projects.newsobserver.com . File this in the random-things-politicians-say file. Speaking to a Cary Rotary Club today, N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue suggested suspending Congressional elections for two years so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election. "I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover. I really hope that someone can agree with me on that," Perdue said. "You want people who don't worry about the next election." The comment -- which came during a discussion of the economy -- perked more than a few ears. It's unclear whether Perdue, a Democrat, is serious -- but her tone was level and she asked others to support her on the idea. (Read her full remarks below.) Later Tuesday afternoon, Perdue's office clarified the remarks: "Come on," said spokeswoman Chris Mackey in a statement. "Gov. Perdue was obviously using hyperbole to highlight what we can all agree is a serious problem: Washington politicians who focus on their own election instead of what’s best for the people they serve." The Republicans sure are taking it seriously as they look to score political points. Here's a statement from GOP spokesman Rob Lockwood: “Now is a time when politicians need to be held accountable more than ever. To suspend an election would be removing the surest mechanism that people have to hold politicians accountable: the right to vote. Does the Governor not believe that people of North Carolina have the ability to think for themselves about whether or not the actions of elected officials are working?" UPDATED: GOP House candidate Paul Coble didn't think much of Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue's idea that congressional elections be suspended for two years so Congress can concentrate on the economy. “That’s a proposal that only the politicians that have worsened our economic mess could appreciate,” said Coble, who is chairman of the Wake County commissioners. “Governor Perdue and the politicians in Washington may fear the message voters send next November.”
