Losing the new media war: The GOP. Losing the young and connected: The GOP. Not raining in New Orleans: So why exactly did McCain cancel his oil rig visit? But in the battleground states: McCain is closing the gap. White House crimes and misdemeanors: An interactive guide. The Duwamish: Now with more mercury. Tale of the tolls: They may stretch from I-5 to Bellevue. And McCain's confused answer on the Anbar Awakening and the surge, helped out by some friendly editing at CBS:...

The article on WaPo about McGrumpy closing the gap in the swing states doesn't mean anything.

Colorado - Pollster.com lists as Obama 46.2, McCain 45.5. A 7/21 Rasmussen poll found it 50% for Obama, 47% for McCain.

Michigan - Pollster.com lists as Obama 47, McCain 40.

Minnesota - Pollster.com lists as Obama 50.2, McCain 37.7.

Wisconsin - Pollster.com lists as Obama 50.6, McCain 38.3.

"Believe what I tell you, or you're a bad person and you should feel bad."

But they say people have "questions".

Like, how soon can I mail in my permanent absentee ballot so I can tell the GOP to stop phoning me, I already dissed their comrade?
