Soundbite Sarah is out with another gem today talking about how the press is violating her First Amendment right to free speech.  Palin was interviewed by conservative radio talk show host Chris Plante, and the show aired Friday morning in that elitist capital of the world, Washington, DC.

Obama was on The Daily Show Wednesday night, and as usual, he rocked the house and boosted ratings for the show to its highest ever.  But my absolute favorite part of the night was when Obama talked about race.  Obama said that white folks have not gotten the memo…

Senator John McCain’s vice presidential pick is looking like a bigger mistake day by day. There is growing evidence that Governor Sarah Palin has become a drag on the flailing Republican ticket.  The Republican nominee is already weighed down by the failures of the Bush administration and our deteriorating economy, but it’s looking more and more like Palin may be the final nail in the coffin.

Rasmussen reports this morning:

Obama 51

McCain 47

McCain’s number in the Rasmussen poll has gone from 47-46-47 on three successive days. The phenomenon well might be an artifact of rounding with a fraction of a point explaining the fluctuation across the three days.  Rasmussen observes:

McCain has been solidifying support, (but) Obama has not lost ground.  This is the 36th straight day that Obama’s support has been between 50% and 52%.

Just a bit of tubing for your early morning viewing pleasure.

Update: this was one of the more substantive and interesting interviews I’ve seen with Obama so far — definitely worth watching.   Part 1 begins around 3:30:

Part 2:

HA! Chris Matthews is on and he is decked out to honor his World Series Team. I wish I had a photo of him, it’s sooo cute.

Here he is. Judge for yourself.
