The Afterglow

I went to bed at something like nine in the morning, and now I'm back at it. Here's my behind-the-times look at the political world (I'm sure I'll be embarassed once I realize how much I'm missing):

  • It looks like Barack Obama is wining the tracking poll election. kos/R2000 has it at 49-43. Hotline: 48-43. Rasmussen: 50-44. Gallup: 49-44.
  • Obama did not skip a beat -- he's back on the trail, focusing on the economy.
  • McCain is back in DC, (thankfully) not doing a damn thing about the bailout negotiations.
  • I've got a new post up at HuffPost: McCain's Angry Debate Disappoints Morning Joe Panel. And yes, his condecession did backfire.
  • 57 million watched the debate.
  • Fareed Zakaria says Palin isn't ready, and McCain isn't putting country first.
  • Henry Kissinger did say he supported negotiations without preconditions.

I'm thinking about doing some more video work today, but I also have a sneaking suspicion that there's a bunch of stuff that's happened that I've missed. So I think maybe I ought to be doing some reading first...
