My first key issue I noticed addressed in Political Punch was coverage of a theory by conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks on the topic of a 100% Democrat-Controlled government. He basically states that with the Democrats being the majority party in the Senate and House, and having a democratic president, will be a awful situation with liberals taking control and trying to make some big changes with economic policies. He also hypothesises that Obama will give into the needs of the liberals. I believe that this view point is a little extreme but I definitely agree that a monopolized government is a bad idea.
The author of this theory David Brooks has an article on Sarah Palin and how she is the fatal cancer to the republican party: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/08/david-brooks-sarah-palin_n_133001.html

The second issue that caught my attention was a post concerning Senator Obama's involvement with the organization ACORN and McCain calling him out on it during the debate. Jake Trapper writes that the implications that McCain acused Obama of were taking things a little bit too far, yet Obama under stressed his ammount of involvement with the organization. McCain suggested in the debate that what ACORN was doing would be the end of the democratic process as we know it, which was just silly. Yet Obama said he was barely affilated with the group, and the blogger Jake Trapper pointed out a few instances in which Obama was more involved that he claimed.
The republican party created a proproganda website regarding ACORN and Obama's involvement: http://www.gop.com/obamaacorntree/?sid=google&t=rncgeneral&r=ObamaAcornTree
