T-minus Seven weeks



This is the first week that the 538 map shows McCain clearly winning. We’re not gonna cherry-pick polls or say that Obama’s better off than McCain right now. Obviously we wish we were on the +270 side right now, but our mood is still pretty calm and confident.

After all, there’s still a lot of time and a lot of events before the election is settled. And it looks to us that McCain is squandering his post-convention peak by immediately going to a strategy of outrageously blatant, ‘up is down’ lying.

This was the week of Lipstick on a Pig, the Bridge to Nowhere, sex-ed for kids, and so on and so on and so on.

In a development that bodes well for Obama, the media actually seems to be turning against McCain and is honestly, actually making some efforts to call JM on his strategy of crazy, relentless bullshit.

This Obama ad is the exact ad I’ve wanted to see all week. Hit em’ with the truth, man. Hit em with the truth and they’ll think it’s hell.
