OUCH :lol

That exchange isn't surprising, but it is even more revealing. In four weeks, Palin has given two interviews and taken zero questions from the press. Total bubble.

10 days until the bubble bursts.

Ford closed very well at the end. Reagan really was wishy washy about supporting him but in the final weeks came out and did rallies, it got the Rep. base all rilled up despite watergate.

Ford believed if he got Reagan out in Ohio earlier in the final days he would have won the election. And he was probably right.

Stephanopoulos: No Candidate With More Than 50% Support in Sept. Has Lost Presidential Race Since '48

Obama now leads McCain among likely voters by 52 percent to 43 percent, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

"You have to go back to 1948 for the last time when a candidate having this kind of a lead in late September lost," Stephanopoulos said.

Neither of the last two Democratic nominees, former Vice President Al Gore in 2000 or Sen. John Kerry in 2004, broke the 50 percent mark in pre-election ABC News/Washington Post polls.

This is why the McCain camp had a presser today about the polls. This is why they are running scared.

WTF? Why is NH turning red? Granted, it's only 4 votes, but didn't Kerry get NH rather easily?

NH to McCain is what Iowa is to Obama. Both states take pride in "creating" the candidates by giving them their first key victory that lead them to winning the nomination. It's almost like a home state advantage.

Looks like Wright commercials were already running.

It's unclear how long the ad has been running, and how big the buy is, but The New York Times reports this morning that the spot is running in Macomb County, Michigan, a stronghold of white, unionized auto workers -- the latest in a wave of very targeted advertising by outside groups that appear to have been set up for the sole purpose of sliming Obama in one way or another.

OBAMA SURROGATE CALLS WHITES "CRACKERS" :drudgehorn.gif

In an interview with CNN's Larry King airing tonight, Bill Clinton offered a slightly unusual reason for postponing his campaigning for Obama: The Jewish high holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which he's not known to observe.

"When [the Clinton Global Initiative] is over, and after the Jewish holidays, which follow close on it, I intend to go to Florida, to Ohio, to northeast Pennsylvania, and to Nevada at a minimum," he said. "I may do events in Arkansas depending on what the Democratic Party does down there. And I've agreed to do some fundraising for them in California and New York."

"Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you're waiting until after the Jewish holidays?" King asked, according to a CNN transcript.

"No. But I think it would be -- if we're trying to win in Florida, it may be that," Clinton began, before discussing his real Florida target: "You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there."

"But Senator Obama also has a big stake in doing well in the Jewish community in Florida, where Hillary did very well and where I did very well. And I just think respecting the holidays is a good thing to do," he said.

Wrong. It's pointless for anyone attempting to appeal to the Jewish vote, nor someone as high profile as he to campaign in Florida on the High Holidays. Anyone who knows anything about them would agree.

doubtful. There's another story on Politico where Palenty used the same excuse about the Jewish holiday. Seems like both parties are serious about this.

Lawton Chiles. :bow :bow , best florida politician ever. Having lived in the FL panhandle, I can say that one of the keys to winning the state is to hold the GOP's redneck vote there to a minimum while running up the score in Tallahassee-if you can swing that, you can probably win the state.

I don't know why people think this, especially after Palin. Palin is like the anti-Hillary. I guarantee you the Clintons don't want her anywhere near the White House.

I'm assuming people think it's a lose/lose for the Clintons.

They obviously don't agree with the Republican candidate on the issues, but I'm assuming some think the Clintons want to protect their image, as well.

Not sure what about Obama getting elected hurts the Clinton image, though.

Honestly, Hillary is acting in complete good faith with the Obama campaign. She's raised money for him despite still carrying whopper campaign debt, started a volunteer "Hillary Sent Me!" drive that has engaged thousands of Hillary supporters to work for Obama, and is going to be doing stops all across the country.

I know the tools on this board can't get over their Hillary hate from the primaries, but if she's not acting in good faith, there isn't a democratic surrogate out there that is.
