Catching up a little:

1. I am glad to see the buzz about Sam Nunn being a potential VP. He has always been one of my favorites, for a politician.

2. McCain and now, Nunn, need to look at a recent map of Europe more.

3. Obama had the head of Freddy Mac (or was it the other one) as his VP chair before being ousted for some reason. Do you think this was pre-emptive knowing the scandals that are rocking both mortgage giants? Sounds like Obama being Big Mortgage could play like McCain being ex-Big S&L. The people with lots of money are corrupt and it's a shame that they have too much say in politics.

4. So far the spending has been about equal but what's interesting is the $1m+ Obama is putting into each into GA, VA and NC and $3m+ in FL.

5. Congressional job approval hits new low but what's interesting is that the declining poll numbers can be attributed to sliding support for Democrats: Over the past month, their support has slid from 23 percent approval in June to 11 percent in July. During that time, the Republican Party’s approval rating has risen, from 15 percent in June to 19 percent in July. Frankly, I think those job approval numbers are way too high. Until we wake up to the follies of Congress, it won't matter who is President, Congress will continue to do their crap.

6. I am sick of the same tired rhetoric of politicians quipping "same tired rhetoric". Oh wait... Seriously, that is one of the most stupidest response to something that a politician can say. That is sound bite politics at its worse.

7. It's still very early but there are some nicely done ads out already, particularly from MoveOn and the Obama national security. The Planned Parenthood one was stupid, imo. Stupid response to a stupid McCain moment.
