Either McCain’s bounce is diminishing, or the economic crisis is starting to move numbers, or perhaps it’s both, or maybe it’s just statistical noise, but Obama’s fortunes have improved in the two tracking polls released this morning:
McCain 48
Obama 47
Rasmussen observes, “This is the third straight day Obama has been at 47% while McCain has dropped a point on each of the past two days.”
Brave New Pac also has this hard-hitting ad out:
Rasmussen has Obama a point closer today to McCain than he was yesterday:
McCain 49%
Obama 47
(It was 50-47 yesterday and 49-46 on Saturday.)
The Obama Campaign has published a memo that takes on the McCain campaign on a couple of scores but focuses on dismantling the Palin myth:
Ah, yes, this story is an immense fount for all of us who are amazed that McCain actually chose the most suspect candidate for vice president since Dan Quayle darkened American history.
John McCain articulates in a Republican debate many of his qualifications to be president that distinguished him from his opponents in the primaries, and funny, as it turns out, distinguishes him from his vice presidential pick, who based on his criteria is not qualified to be president.
Sarah Palin has caught the fancy of many people, and I confess there is something very engaging about her. But there is something even more frightening about her that outstrips the measure in which she is engaging.

An editorial in today’s Washington Post takes to task John McCain’s campaign for it “cynical use of the gender card” and calls the lipstick on a pig controvery, “unusually silly.”

It points out the many grave crises that face the nation:
1. “looming deficits and a grim economic outlook”;
2. a faltering stock market after the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and
3. Bush’s refusal to budge on our future in Afghanistan and Iraq.
