Afternoon Arugula

Nate thinks that Americans are too certain that McCain is running a negative campaign for him to pin that one Obama and he says that his map is almost unchangeable at this point.

Ben has some subtle robocalls from the McCain camp. And by subtle we mean NOT AT ALL SUBTLE.

Marc thinks substance takes a back seat to posture in these debates, so it wasn’t even a contest.


Andrew’s live blog is pretty good and he thinks Palin is now being groomed. Forget McCain.

Matt reminds us that the worst debate commentary comes from pundits, because they’re basically the polar opposite of the intended audience.

Read to the bottom of this Ezra post … he wonders if the campaigns have a “black swan” department that conjures up responses to implausible scenarios.

Greenberg’s focus group in some ways encapsulates the meta-narrative ... people actually like what Obama is saying.

They’re not laughing with you, John McCain …

TPM and Matt think McCain needs an Intrade bailout.

I am so sickened by this, I don’t know what to say.

Marc finds out what people were googling after the debate.

Matt doesn’t think people will suddenly be scared by progressive taxation.

Also, sorry the clips posting has been light lately ... between the Phillies getting to the Series and assorted campaign madness, it's hard to keep up some days!
