A Lullaby For Bradley
In response to the eyepopping polling numbers from the CBS/NYT poll, Wieland at Transparent Grid asks a very good question: can we put the Bradley Effect to bed?

I almost went a whole day without doing a post about polls.
Underdog vs. Loser
John McCain, October 13, 2008
I Can’t Make Stuff Like This Up!
Seriously, I wish I could make up stuff like this, I would be friggin’ rich. Or maybe not, no one would actually believe any of it.
Liveblogging Announcements
Yeesh, it is a slo news day, at least it is for me. That or I am finding myself uncharacteristically bored with the headlines I’ve seen so far. You want to know what’s happened today in the world of politics? Barack Obama is still leading McCain by an embarrassing margin, the right is still claiming that Obama has regular buttsecks with ACORN, Rev. Wright, and Bill Ayers all at once, Sarah Palin probably said something stupid, and John McCain probably blamed the continuing erosion of his honor on Obama.
Because, as we all should know by now, it’s always Obama’s fault.
So, in lieu of writing something important, I just wanted to announce we have two live blogging events in the not too distant future coming up.
Dowd’s In The Tank
One of the more interesting and entertaining things that I’ve observed over the past few weeks has been the mass exodus of conservative columnists and other notables away from the McCain ticket in general and Sarah Palin as running mate specifically.
At first, there was general excitement all around. Sure, there were a few wet blanket dissenters, but one of McCain’s biggest early problems has always been his inability to charge up the base, which Sarah Palin undoubtedly could do.
But once she started granting interviews, it was all downhill from there.
The Trap Has Been Set, The Bait Has Been Taken
As recently as yesterday, I was willing to say tomorrow night’s debate is a crapshoot. McCain is currently trailing 8-10 points nationally, traditional battleground states are in the Obama column, and the current battlegrounds are couched it what should be safe Republican territory. With the political landscape laid out like that, McCain still needs a game changer in a big way with tomorrow night’s event potentially being the last and best shot for one.
With that in mind, I simply had no clue what tomorrow night would look like.
