Good for Barracuda.
Ben Smith exposed today what I’ve suspected for some time: Palin is pissed at her handlers and is going to go rogue through election day. From the Politico story: “‘The campaign as a whole bought completely into what the Washington media said — that she’s completely inexperienced,’ said a close Palin ally outside the campaign [...]
Axelrod on ‘Countdown’: BO’s Strategy in the Home Stretch
Apart from one obnoxious quip (“With all due respect to Joe the Plumber, those types of messages are a bit draining …”) it’s a good segment. I am so saddened by thought that Obama’s grandmother might not be here to see him win. I am praying that she can make it through.

Very well articulated on HuffPost today: “I want to celebrate a new political era on 5 November, one that ushers in a leader of a unity movement for all Americans, not just for some. That may well happen. How despicable, though, if a president-elect Obama has to contend with a resurgent religious right that feeds [...]
Palin: No Harriet Miers
From the guy in line next to me at 7Eleven last Thursday who handed me a “No F@#$ing Way!” Palin sticker to a variety of observations shared by friends and colleagues, many people in my circle have predicted recently that Barracuda is a blip on the radar of governance and public discourse (and, let’s face [...]
Politico: Will Exit Polls Be Accurate?
David Paul Kuhn on concerns that data sampling will be skewed by early voting and overzealous BO supporters: “The exit polls are conducted by the National Election Pool (NEP), a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News formed in 2003. In theory, exit polls should match election results. [...]
