of Oregon) Merkley has opened up a 40,000 vote lead. With that county only ~70% reported, I think this one's over for Gordy Smith.
I was wrong about waiting two weeks out of politeness; Team McCain's kneecapping of Sarah Palin begins immediately.

Catch this video of Carl Cameron on O'Reilly talking about how, during debate prep, Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent as opposed to a country and couldn't name the nations in NAFTA.
I'd suspect this of being well-poisoning disinformation if it wasn't so goddamn plausible.
And it begins.
McCain is going to be polite about Palin for about a week and then he is going to publicly kneecap her. Newsweek plans to help. Their special election project (which gets excellent insider info by withholding all information until after the election) is reporting that Palin's campaign-funded spending spree on clothing actually spent far, far more than the media-reported $150,000.
One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family?

According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported 0,000, and that ,000 to ,000 went to buy clothes for her husband.

Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.
This is gonna be great to watch.

(Thanks Mike!)
Last week I said "The polls will narrow over the next two weeks as undecideds finally extract heads from asses, but there are only two ways to get around the data showing Obama in the lead.
" Indeed, the national polls seem to be narrowing ever so slightly, bumping McCain up to around 45%. But the state polls aren't budging.
In Pennsylvania, for example, Obama's lead remains in double-digits.
How is that possible?
It's pretty simple. First, right-leaning pollsters like Rasmussen and Zogby are amping up the use of "likely voter" models to exclude respondents who get in the way of the surge story.

Second, a lot of "undecided" voters in uncompetitive states are coming out of the closet for McCain.

I'm sure it thrills the campaign to realize that it may have rocketed from 38% to 42% in California.
If you have 30 minutes to kill, the annual Al Smith foundation dinner from two weeks ago is very entertaining. For the uninitiated, the dinner is essentially a stand-up comedy event for whatever candidates and public figures are asked to speak. And for the first time in their series of appearances on the same stage, McCain schools Obama.

Granted, they are both just reading jokes written for them by someone else, but McCain's comic timing and material are superior.
Obama looks uncomfortable for some reason and commits the cardinal comedy sin of stopping to elicit a response from flat jokes.
Just move on, man.
A for McCain, B- for Obama.
So the thing I can't figure out about the left-leaning skeptics' and pessimists' position, meritorious as it may be: if McCain isn't losing, why does everyone involved in his campaign seem to think he is? The McCain/Palin folks are less a campaign than a gangbang of finger pointing, back-stabbing, and self-interest these days.

If they were confident about pulling off some early November surprise, Palin wouldn't be campaigning for 2012 and the hired help wouldn't be pre-emptively spinning the loss with an eye toward future employment.

Just a collection of good Sunday-before-the-Sunday-before Election Day reads.
David Frum continues the drumbeat of right-wingers abandoning ship with a semi-impassioned plea for the GOP to forget about McCain and focus on other electoral goals (WaPo, "Sorry, Senator. Let's Salvage What We Can.")
David Brooks says something semi-intelligent, although I wonder if he really believes that 2008 is when the GOP "Ceded the Center" (NYT). I'd say that happened circa 1980, Davey.
The Anchorage Daily News damns Palin with faint praise while endorsing Obama for President.
Mark Steyn, the guy who wrote that best-selling book about how we oughta be terrified that the brown Islamic hordes of brown brown people are fuckin' faster than whitey, lets loose a scattershot sampler of every last-ditch right-wing scare tactic in "Point of No Return" (National Review Online). Note how he, like Reagan often did, quotes Calvin Coolidge, that fiscal sage who greased the skids of America's bobsled ride to total economic collapse.
Bill Kristol decides that Palin didn't fail, she was failed by the McCain campaign. Those knuckleheads simply neglected to properly utilize the powerful asset that is Governor Know-Nothing.
Fox News headline on Obama's record-obliterating fund raising exploits: "Obama Shatters Records With Unprecedented Money Grab."
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is almost verbatim a joke from The Simpsons. Except they are not kidding. That is Fox in a nutshell: "No, seriously, this isn't satire" should be their new motto.

Re-reading yesterday's entry, something struck me about Ross McKenzie's handjob/commentary:
So how about a single word to describe John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running-mate? Sensational. If he becomes the next president, he may well look back and see this decision – this long Statue-of-Liberty pass downfield – as winning the game for him before Labor Day.
The "Statue of Liberty" play is a running play (like so or, famously, by Boise State in their improbable Fiesta Bowl win). It is decidedly not a pass. I don't fault someone for not understanding the fine points of American football, but why use metaphors without understanding them? I believe you meant "Hail Mary," Mr.
No Proofreading. Way to be a lazy hack of a writer. This is precisely why I don't use cricket metaphors.

This is the McCain campaign in a nutshell: his "Joe the Plumber" prop from last evening's debate is related to a man who married into the Keating family. Not exactly a close relation, but why in the name of god would McCain use an example – an example he KNOWS we are going to dash off and research – that will lead back to, and hence remind everyone of, his Keating Five connections?
The only good answer? Because he is retarded.
