Afternoon Arugula

It's been a bigger than average Sunday ... Obama raises $150MM in September and the country's most popular Republican endorses him. On to the clips ...

Fallows on the character arcs of McCain and Powell and the boring, effective Obama

Andrew thinks Powell is making the argument Andrew has been making for months, and Andrew is right.

Ben has the transcript of Chris Wallace going after McCain on the robocalls. Either McCain is lying or he hasn’t listened to them.

Marc looks at the narrowing permutations of potential victory for both candidates and thinks that the Powell endorsement will hurt McCain more than it helps Obama.

Ezra thinks it’s funny that Palin rails on the liberal media Sunday through Friday, but parties with them on Saturday.

Matt is looking for the next R in line and thinks Huckabee looks like Churchill next to Palin.

He also likes Powell’s take on Muslim-Americans. I was tearing up at the description of the photo essay.

TPM wants us to brace ourselves for two weeks of pure slime.

Nate learns that Palin’s “real” America is way whiter than the actual America. I said it once and I will say it again … McCain is running a campaign that is not afraid of stoking racism.
