Thanks to cmolieri for this one from the Nation on Sarah Palin, from Anne Kilkenny, Wasilla resident.
An interesting article from FiveThirtyEight projecting the election outcome.
A fun image from the NY Times,
Again from NY Times, Party in Power, Running as if it Weren't discusses how difficult it is to run on the Change platform as the incumbent party:
"But as a matter of history, it is easier to run as the opposition party if you actually are the opposition party."
And my personal favorite, from the Huffington Post,
Oprah Winfrey, who made the first political endorsement of her life this year in supporting Barack Obama, said in a statement Friday that she would be happy to have Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her show - but not until after the election is over. The statement was meant to clarify a report on the Drudge Report, which claimed Oprah's staff was divided over having Palin and that Oprah refused due to her support of Obama:
The item in today's Drudge Report is categorically untrue. There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this Presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.
Oprah has been an active member on the campaign trail for Obama, and was present in Denver last week for his acceptance of the Democratic nomination. Her reaction to the speech: "I cried my eyelashes off!"

go, Oprah, you get those hockey moms to vote for Obama!
