What does it all mean for the campaigns? Some guesses.
Not worried: A McCain adviser, who actually wrote an Op-Ed in The Washington Post this weekend titled: “Quit Doling Out That Bad-Economy Line.”
Not bankrupt: Barack Obama, who raked in a record $66 million in August.

The Palin cronyism is the most important revelation... Yeah, like Bush's cabinet, we get failed policy and failed leadership when you hire your friends instead of qualified experts. I wish the public at large cared more

Brilliant at 1:40 when she starts posing; my favorite part.
Posted by Non | September 15, 2008 8:22 AMbtw SNL Amy+Tina is like Adam+Chris...gold
Here is PC attempting" to be "down" with her Negro brothas. I won't catalog all the reasons why she has once again made a fool of herself. Suffice it to say, wrong again.
Posted by elenchos | September 15, 2008 8:41 AMLehman did the right thing here. Bring on the capitulation!
Posted by Bellevue Ave | September 15, 2008 8:41 AMWeird to see PC's posts (@4) back when she was on her meds without the racing thoughts and the pages of text
Posted by Non | September 15, 2008 8:43 AMI could really get behind a Fey/Pohler ticket.
Posted by Carollani | September 15, 2008 8:57 AMAh! It is refreshing to know that the Bush legacy will continue with Palin.
Posted by Sad Comment | September 15, 2008 9:31 AMElenchus besides the fact that you are wrong again (your last claim that PC had incorrectly predicted WA at 67% like MN when in fact it off by 1% point was completely wrong) why are you posting those stupid pee chee posts? Are you suffering from postpartum depression?
Currently electoral-vote.com has WA as a barely democrat state - so maybe PC is wrong now to promote going out of state - O could lose here.

SockpuppetMcGee, you are PC. Stop lying about fucking everything, you phony.
Posted by elenchos | September 15, 2008 10:17 AMNone of the news sites have picked it up, but there was a fight on Friday night outside Flowers. Two men were injured and taken to the hospital; the two who beat them drove away before police arrived.
Posted by Greg | September 15, 2008 10:23 AMHaving Tina Fey play Palin is like letting Paul Newman play McCain. Her impression is still fantastic - better than Palin's.
