Afternoon Arugula

Edsall has a huge – yet speculative – list of potential Obama appointees. Marc comments as well. It’s important to remember that this is an incredibly disciplined campaign, so this is little more than educated guessing, at best. But, grist for the mill and such.


Weird shenanigans in Mitch McConnell’s surprisingly close re-election bid. He’s the Senate minority leader.


Another major news outlet – MSNBC – has Obama crossing the 270 barrier.


Obama policy advisor corrects folks on the “redistribution” scare tactics.


Matt has a senior diplomat from the Bush administration lauding Obama’s positions. Also, folks are bracing for the conservative “bloodbath.”


Ezra has a great take on the “accidental genius” of the American campaign process and its ability to expose the real character of the candidates. He also cautions us against overestimating presidential power.


I’m not the only one who’s surprised at the race NOT tightening.


Nate looks at Virginia’s importance … Obama has what looks like a very secure lead, according to the last five polls.


T-Nehisi points out that Obama is really executing on Dean’s strategy.


Marc has visual evidence of the enthusiasm gap. (He also has a bonus sexy robocall.)
