Ben reports on the continuing scaling back of the McCain campaign. Watch for more oft his in the coming days … as the reasonable paths to 270 become narrower for McCain, it’s to his advantage to focus resources that make such paths happen.
Andrew, the consummate conservative, leaves no gray area. Even when voting liberal: “As I said: it's now a battle between hope and fear. There is no neutral ground any more. Do what you can.”
He also looks at the Pew poll, which gives Obama a huge lead in the top line. The internals are more interesting, though, showing Obama with the leadership edge.
Ezra reminds us that Obama is NOT suspending his campaign and thinks that NYTimes internal polling data points at Palin being a huge blunder. I agree, but I’m not sure any other picks he was considering would have been less worse blunders.
Matt looks at growing inequality and sees that it is a problem. No argument here. Structural issues in our economy make it awfully hard for basic measures of wealth to change much over multiple generations within a family, so the opportunity argument is a little bit of a red herring to me.
TPM composite has Obama moving up. Not terribly shocking news, except that it pretty clearly shows that McCain is not trending up. There are only so many days left for that to happen.
Nate has a nerdgasm and dissects the qualities of all of the national pollsters.
