From TPM comes the latest Reuters/Zogby Poll, showing McCain within reach of the brass ring:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain runs even with Democratic rival Barack Obama and narrowly leads Hillary Clinton in potential match-ups in November, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released Wednesday.

First, from The Conservative Nanny State author Dean Baker:

will racism be dead and buried in the U.S.:

While Sunday was glorious (despite the rain), Saturday morning sucked (despite the sun) largely because my mind kept going back to NPR’s man-on-the-street interviews in Altoona PA regarding the upcoming elections.
