  Second Debate Reax Boring. Literally the same talking points from last debate were repeated. Bourbon didn't improve this debate one bit. I think McCain did better than his last debate. He worked the floor and crowd well from the get go. It took Obama about half an hour...

  The Cavalry Arrives Look like at least one PAC has answered the Obama Campaign's call... Pretty tame compared to some of McCain's ads. Its more of a shot across the bow than an actual attack comparatively speaking. Odds are the real heavy handed ads won't be...

  Obama Calling in the Cavalry? Looks like the RNC and McCain have finally caught up with Obama financially. The problem? The 527s aligned with McCain have put them over the top. Apparently Obama's campaign has opted to stop pressuring the Dems 527s to lay low. Courtesy of Marc...

  McCain at the NAACP Convention He gave a solid, but not inspiring, speech which was pretty well received considering the audience's strong pro-Obama leanings.
