For a campaign that’s had only bad days for weeks, yesterday afternoon set a definitive standard for McCain-Palin. Within hours, (a) McCain had to retract and start trying to walk back their sole selling-point, and (b) the Alaska Legislative Council ( 8 GOPers, 4 Dems ) unanimously voted to release a report that found Palin to have committed abuse of power.
Incredibly, as this double coup de grâce fell, from Vienna the AP reported that Austrian politician Joerg Haider — “whose far-right rhetoric at times cast a negative light on the Alpine republic” – had died in a car wreck. R.I.P., nasty Herr Haider, but really, how’s that for an uncanny echo?

Here is how the polls are shaping up, and how I see the final numbers---
The polling is showing O - 51 Mc- 44
