Went to the Richmond Raceway to see Sarah Palin speak this afternoon. I was hugely disappointed by the visibility, but the size of the crowd was kind-of the point, I think. Looks like the Republicans have an uphill climb, but it seems to me they are typically under-rated. 

Whatever the media polls seem to say, tag a couple points to the repulican side to make estimates more accurate. If history serves me, Bush was supposed to lose the last election to Kerry. At least that's what the polls would tell you. 

As of this afternoon, McCain was at 41 while Obama hit 51 (Fox News). That's a pretty big margin from a less liberal media. I don't know what to think. Hopefully McCain can pull a rabbit out of his hat. Unlikely, but we will see.
