During an internal conference call Thursday, campaign officials discussed how the tenor of the crowds has turned on the media and on Sen. ...

Jackson Browne gets a settlement
TigerHawk — Jackson Browne and the Republican Party have settled a lawsuit over the use of his song "Running on Empty" in an Internet ad which ran during the campaign last year. The ad mocked Barack Obama's energy policy proposals. The settlement included an apology from John McCain, a promise from the RNC not to use any songs by any artists without permission, and an undisclosed financial settlement. Had the suit proceeded, Browne clearly had a strong case and likely would have prevailed. He was correct to assert his intellectual property rights: "'This settlement is really a great affirmation of what I believed my rights to be, and all writers' rights to ...
