• Obama gave a big speech on Iraq today which included a bunch of sharp hits at McCain.
  • McCain has actually said, falsely, that al Qaeda and Iran are working together four times — a mistake akin to saying the John Birch Society and the Weathermen were close allies in the sixties.
  • Reverend Wright is defended by … Mike Huckabee, and quite ably too.
  • Clinton hires a second pollster which apparently fulfills a Penn-t up desire among some of her staff.
  • Obama’s speech yesterday may become the most-watched political speech on YouTube ever.
  • Al Sharpton announces that he’s secretly working with Obama. Yes, that makes about as much sense as you think.
  • Now you too can find out what Hillary Clinton was doing every day she was First Lady. Thrilling, I know.
  • Clinton is hitting Obama as hard as she can on his opposition to a re-vote in Michigan, arguing that failing to allow it is a betrayal of the principles of the civil rights movement.
