Joe the Plumber Chews Through Leash

Yet another sign that the McCain/Palin campaign is coming unraveled as the election draws to an increasingly inevitable conclusion:

Joe (Sam) the Unlicensed Wanna-be Country Singer and Planted Liar has gone AWOL.

F#$k!  Alright, who was supposed to be watching him?  Looks like old Joe the Douche was out stumping with the Palinator, and forgot to let Grandpappy John in on the plans.  Thanks much, Joe the No-Show.  

Arizona? Yeah. It’s in Play. [Update!]

This is almost sad, guys.

Well, not really.

But I think this shows us the depth of the hole McCain has dug running this disgraceful campaign. He has never lost an election in Arizona, but now he’s poised to lose the most important race of all. According to a new a Cronkite/Eight Poll, AZ is now a toss-up. Obama has whittled McCain’s lead down to two points, 46 to 44, a statistical tie.

First trackers of the day

Rasmussen reports this morning:

Obama 51

McCain 46

Rasmussen’s numbers yesterday were Obama 50, McCain 47, Others 1, and Undecided 2.  Rasmussen observes:

This is the 35th straight day that Obama’s support has been between 50% and 52%. With the exception of yesterday, McCain’s support has stayed between 44% and 46% during that stretch.
