See you at sundown Thursday.
1. Cullen Sheehan's a nice guy caught in a tough situation. This is... awkward.
2. Fred Barnes blames Tom Brokaw for the debate. I blame the format and the campaigns and the Commission. And when even Hugh Hewitt has semi-not-terrific things to say about McCain's performance (even couched, as they are)...
3. Via Ben via Amie via the net, Cindy McCain makes an issue out of Obama's troop funding votes and implies that Obama directly endangers her son.
4. The New Yorker has a fabulous package of political stories, including George Packer on the anxieties of the working class in Ohio and a well-done portrait of Arianna Huffington.
5. The Evans-Novak Political Report, sans Evans and Novak, ghost-written by Mitt Romney?:
Republicans may have made a devastating mistake in nominating McCain, whose lack of clarity, conviction, and understanding on the economy has handed the Democrats a win on this issue, where a more economically savvy Republican could have won the day.6. CBS's Harry Smith performs the Red State, Blue State Blues.
7. Is the ACORN story at an MSM tipping point?
8. Is McCain returning to Iowa this weekend?
9. Robert Gibbs v. Sean Hannity.
