New ad from the Obama campaign.
New ad from the Obama campaign.
The Daily Show has a field day with Sarah Palin’s town.
Powell cites Obama’s temperament and intellectual vigor, while noting McCain’s erratic response to the financial crisis. He also cites the selection of Sarah Palin as a reason to vote for Obama.
The Minnesota Senate race is stsrting to look like a potential pick-up for Democrats. Al Franken has taken the lead in the three latest polls in this race. The economy is obviously a factor, but Norm Coleman’s campaign is having some serious problems. Franken’s latest ad shows how the Coleman campaign has been taking clips out of context to make Franken appear to be angry and unstable (sort of like John McCain). Here’s Franken’s latest ad.
Coleman has also been embarassed by recent reports that a wealthy donor has been buying expensive suits for Coleman. His campaign spokesman had a disastrous news conference where he refused to answer simple questions about this allegation.
Races like this one might get the Democrats to 60 seats in the Senate.
The polls have shifted dramatically over the past several weeks, as Republican support has fallen as a result of the financial crisis. Barack Obama has picked up support in many battleground states, but many Senate races have also become competitive.
The question remains, however, as to whether this bump can last for the next four weeks, and whether Democrats can win enough seats to hit the 60-seat threshold.
Meanwhile, VoteVets.org is back with scathing ads targeting Republican Senators who voted against providing modern body armor to all U.S. troops in Iraq. These ads were very effective in 2006, helping to unseat Senators like George Allen in Virginia. The ad below has been updated to target Elizabeth Dole, who is now behind in her North Carolina Senate race.
