It's all turning mean and nasty.  So.  What now?

There's a very nice, succinct update on where the campaigns are at the start of a new week -- here.

Then, check out USAToday's reports on an Obama lead in Virginia.

Dick Polman has this nitty-gritty news from the frontlines.

"Several key stats supposedly tell the tale: New Democratic registrants in Colorado outnumber new Republican registrants by roughly 5-1; and in Florida, by roughly 3-1. As for Pennsylvania, I've seen all kinds of numbers; depending on the time period, it appears that the Democrats this year have added several hundred thousand voters to the rolls, while the Republicans have netted virtually zero."

That doesn't change anything down among people who believe truth is whatever they want to believe at the moment. Palin remains their hero in spite of her muddled performance on ABC.

"No grassroots conservatives have emailed to acknowledge that perhaps Palin isn't fit for prime time. On the contrary, they have rallied to defend her worst interview moment. Last Thursday night, after she flunked the simple test of identifying the Bush doctrine, freezing like a clueless moose caught in the headlights, her fans sent me emails explaining that, actually, the Bush doctrine has gone through a number of permutations over the years, so naturally she should not have been expected to answer such an unfair question.  ...Grassroots conservatives love [her] certitude, and to heck with trifles such as empiricism. They're soldiers now in an energized McCain army, newly committed for the duration, and no Democrat should still assume that the vaunted Obama operation will dominate."

God needs a better cellphone.  The connection appears to break up a lot when he's communicating "the truth" to Palin and her supporters.  Or is it because he's laughing so hard he has to put down the phone?
