I love the standee of Lincoln holding the Obama sign whilst Matthews was interviewing the college people.

Here's a question for Sarah Palin: With the Dow tanking again today and the economy on the brink of disaster, is it really a good time for a local Alaskan gomer to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Cool! Plouffe has been reading my stuff:

Plouffe noted that Tom Brokow has been in the paper recently talking about “his communication with the McCain campaign and their friendship."

"I assume they’ll apply the same standard to Tom Brokaw," he said.

And here's me yesterday:

And Brokaw is good friends with McCain and he's moderating the debate next week.

Kidding. There's no chance in hell Plouffe is anywhere near this place.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when cable news people are evaluating candidates based on their intelligence. And all it took was... two wars, a few major hurricanes, an economic meltdown, a climate crisis and an energy crisis.


8PMSo it's looking like Sarah Palin is going to try to bait Senator Biden into going after her. And when he does... all the Republicans go WAAHHH!8:03PMRemember all that talk about Obama having a Michigan problem? So much for that.8:06PMWhenever McCain goes off on his "big-spending, do-nothing, me-first, country-second Warrrshington crowd" runs, I always wonder if he's going to stop. I keep expecting him to continue, "hot dog, hee-haw, seersucker, pencil neck, rough riding, silly string, cheese whiz, milk, milk, lemonade, around the corner, fudge is made!"8:14PMWhy was everyone saying that this was a sit-down debate? I see podiums -- or as Palin says, "Poodyumsss."8:22PMDid Campbell Brown just call their giant TV screen thing "the Magic Wall"? Paddy Chayefsky just choked on his own vomit. Which is a challenge considering the fact that he died in 1981.8:36PMSo glad KO is going after McCain for his hypocrisy about the bailout bill this morning on Scarborough. McCain went off about how he would veto ANY bill that contained pork and he'd make -- whoever -- famous. And yet he voted for the goddamn bill.8:41PMNew thread started. Join me, why dontcha.
