Bill Clinton and Barack Obama just wrapped up their Kissimmee love fest where the two spent much of the event praising one another. Though, 42 did have one really awkward moment. Noting the diverse crowd – both in terms of age and race – Clinton said:
You’ve even got a few grey-headed, white guys like me. You haven’t

Friday, Sarah Palin gave a speech about one of her, er, McCain’s pet issues: taking care of children with special needs. Today, she spoke about energy, particularly on opening up U.S. lands and waters to increased oil and gas drilling.
In a McCain administration, we will authorize and support new exploration and production of

A little belatedly, a quick snapshot on the Pennsylvania House races and McCain’s double down in that state. And my take on Virginia after spending more than a week floating around Prince William County, which, together with Loudon County, are the lynchpins to Democratic victories in the state. Ruy Teixiera has a fascinating study out …
I don’t know which advance genius thought of an outdoor rally in Chester, Pennsylvania in late October but it’s freeezing here, pouring and knee-deep in mud. Obama, who spoke for more than 35 minutes before a dripping crowd of 9,000, with no umbrella, hat or gloves, should take a lesson from William Henry Harrison.
The Obama campaign says the Illinois senator will present his closing argument Monday morning in Canton. What voters can expect to hear:
In his speech, Senator Obama will tell voters that after twenty-one months and three debates, Senator McCain still has not been able to tell the American people a single major thing he’d do

Here’s a story I wrote for tomorrow’s Washington Post Outlook section about the AP and how things are changing for them and thus the journalism world.
A Democratic source tells TIME that John McCain is stretching his media buys in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, spacing out ads they’ve already bought to last through the rest of the election. The move would mean they would not spend any more ad money in the states, effectively pulling out without taking the hit in the press the way they …
Colin Powell today announced on NBC’s Meet the Press he’s crossing party lines and to become the highest-ranking Republican to endorse Barack Obama.
The former general and secretary of state under President Bush said that after following the race closely for the last two months, he was left troubled by the McCain’s handling of the …
Any one watching tonight’s debate is surely wondering: Who the heck is this Joe-the-Plumber that both candidates keep talking about?
Turns out, he’s a real guy. Obama met Joe Wurzelbacher in Ohio a couple of days ago. Here’s an interview with him by a conservative group.
Update:
Here’s a video link of the encounter.
The CW this morning seems to anticipate fireworks (any one see today’s cover of the New York Daily News?) in the last presidential debate tonight: another Hail Mary pass from John McCain, though in exactly what form is anybody’s guess. As Maureen Dowd noted on GMA: McCain needs a big rabbit out of a small hat.
The Obama campaign is …
Yes, there are other races going on outside of the presidential campaign. Here’s a rolling package that will update daily of the top congressional races (I did the Warner/Gilmore race which is not exactly a nail biter but is the Dems most likely pick up in the Senate). And for the trifecta: will Schumer get his 60 seats?
