With the stock market showing signs of life, I thought I would try to put down in writing my thoughts on the general economic picture we face and its likely endgame. Although things look pretty dire from my perspective, I could very well be wrong and hopefully am.

This afternoon McCain's campaign had Drudge post their demand that the LA Times release their video of a banquet Obama attended in honor of Rashid Khalidi. Background provided by Ben Smith here:

http://www.politico.com/...

In a stunning development, HuffPost's Seth Walls has uncovered that McCain himself has an extensive relationship with Khalidi, including providing his group with hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money. For some strange reason, Drudge pulled his Khalidi story shortly after the HuffPost article appeared. I think McCain's camp is running scared- please either rec this diary or have Kos post the HuffPost article. This is one attempt at race-baiting that will blow up in McCain's face.

Today Obama gave a very effective speech in which he described John McCain as "erratic." It appears that this is the key phrase the campaign is using to describe McCain, and so I thought I'd try to remind everyone of words spoken last January by a fellow Senator. I think it would make an excellent ad for the campaign to use this quote against McCain - it has a lot of weight coming from one of the most respected members of the Senate- Thad Cochran, Republican from Mississippi.

Sam Harris's column on Sarah Palin in this week's Newsweek is the one I have been waiting to read for many years now. It destroys not Sarah Palin the individual (who is, as he says, a pleasant enough person), but the political phenomenon. In so doing, the column raises troubling questions about the nature of American politics, in particular the manner in which ignorance and "averageness" have become virtues in our political leaders, in the eyes of many Americans.

This is a column which needs to go viral- e-mail it to your friends.

With some Democrats having negative flashbacks to 2004, I thought I would do some research to compare John Kerry's poll numbers in September 2004 to Obama's numbers now. What I found was very encouraging.

I won't be too critical of Obama's campaign, because he has generally been effective and I think the main head-winds we are facing come from either racist or frivolous voters entranced with Sarah Palin.

But since Obama has indicated a desire to get tougher, I recommend the following two ads to him. In my view, it is essential to let the American working people known specifically what negative consequences will result in their lives from McCain being elected.

I think these two ads accomplish this- please rec if you agree.

After Hillary's speech and the negative poll bounce after Biden's selection, I expect many in the party are secretly thinking that the REAL unity ticket is Obama-Clinton.

if Gallup and Rasmussen are any indication, Stephanapolous' mission to smear Barack Obama had some impact, but Obama is still going to be the nominee. The Democratic party got a small - just the smallest - taste of the power of Obama's base to raise havoc over the cynical, lowest common denominator politics that we saw in the debate. If the party should somehow try to let those politics prevail over the will of the pledged delegates- then we'll see you in Denver guys. But I'm confident that they can read the writing on the well as well as I can.

If you're like me, then Rush Limbaugh is the only lunchtime political news talk radio program available. I will usually try to make myself listen to sports talk radio, but I sometimes find myself cursing myself while turning to Rush. And when I have done so lately, he has been talking nonstop about his "Operation Chaos" - patting himself on the back incessantly for the supposedly great impact that he is having upon the Democratic race. There's just one problem: a closer look at the evidence does not back up his claim.

This diary discusses what I think is a little-noticed error made by Hillary in dealing with the Florida and Michigan revote controversy.

From press reports, Hillary is preparing to argue that the popular vote total is a proper means of determining our nominee. This is incorrect, for the reasons stated below.
