Unfortunately for the Republican smear machine the Chronicle is correcting their lies.

The mudslinging comes from both sides but no one seems to acknowledge the Democrats part in it. Here is an example of a Huffington Post Radio talk show host telling how he really feels about Joe the plumber on a commercial break. Isn't that just lovely. Why do they say that republicans are so malicious?

Well, the GOP Trust is running the Wright ad here in Missouri. I've seen it twice this evening.

I'll just add that the typical liberal media double standard is widely apparent, once more, in how buffoon Biden, who is quickly revealing himself to be a worse electoral liability when it comes to public perception than Palin is or ever has been (even after adjusting liberal media distortion and worse), and whose (Biden's) sequestering has been deliberately suppressed as an issue, has not gone unnoticed by the intelligent (who always have tended to be GOP-leaning since the late 1960s).

I doubt the coal comments will matter much if at all. Thus far, the story has had no traction outside of the right-wing blogs. If I were seeing mass media picking up and running with the story, I'd think there might be a chance – but right now it looks like the usual strategy of flinging as much fecal matter and seeing if any of it might stick.

The Wright card isn't only being played in PA…. it was played last night on national TV with a commercial during SNL, albeit from a 527 group (which these days the 527s are for all intents and purposes part of the campaigns). But this tactic may backfire- causing Obama supporters to become energized, and they in turn call other Obama supporters who all head to the polls to vote.

I'm not surprised that McCain is playing this…. McCain has not run the honorable campaign he said he would.

I'll ignore the stupid cartoon and note that even NPR provides clips of McCain that aren't ugly, but in fact just campaigning vigorously ("fight for me, fight for our future" stuff, nothing ugly) and just as McCain is finally actually starting to act with vigor, perhaps some of his voters are, too. As for predicting Kerry would win, the media _wants_ Obama to win and have been his campaign auxiliaries this year.

The race is narrowing, but it seems likely that Obama should win. Look at the trend throughout the year, not just the past hour or two.

To me the more interesting thing currently is how well the Dems will do in the Congressional races.
