I was sick all weekend, and as a result I didn't read any election news (or economy news, yikes), which I think was a healthy and much needed break. But now there is good news:
According to the latest Washington Post - ABC News poll, Obama now leads McCain by 9 points among likely voters. Of course, national polls don't tell us anything about how the electoral math with work out, but I still see this as a good sign!
For the lulz: isbarackobamaamuslin.com?
No, of course not! barackobamaisyournewbicycle.com.
And just a reminder to the Americans who read this: don't forget to register to vote! The deadlines are coming up fast. If you're already registered, make sure your registration is up to date. I know in Ohio there have been huge problems with address changes and provisional ballots, so don't wait until election day to find out there's a problem.
The first presidential debate is this Friday, September 26 at the University of Mississippi. The debate begins at 8 pm Central Time, and it'll be televised on PBS. SNL parody to follow.
ETA: Go watch Bill Clinton on The Daily Show. Clinton has such an amazing ability for explaining political issues in a way that's easy to understand. I think Jon Stewart's right that lots of Americans would happily elect him a third time.
