It Must Be Something in the (Melting) Icebergs

Obama Campaign's Take: We're Doing What We Need To
I'm listening to an Obama campaign conference call on the state of the race. Some of the eye-popping details:

Advertisements Can't Hold Hands
McCain has cannibalized his GOTV funds so he can run more ads.
It's Called Justice
Not only did Michael Mukasey, in his most reasonable act as AG, refuse to act on Bush's request that he help Ohio Republicans prevent 200,000 voters from voting.
But now, the military judge in charge of Hamdan's Show Trial has refused the Bush Administration's request that the jury re-sentence Hamdan so he won't be released on Bush's watch.

McCain, Don't You Think A Surge Might Have Been Better BEFORE People Voted?
Good for John McCain to finally start defending the states he needs to win. But don't you think it would have been better to do so before a quarter of voters in those states had already voted?
Did I Mention Bush Is Preparing His Pardon Pen?
John McCain has called on Uncle Toobz to resign (ignoring, of course, that he may be guilty of the same crime himself), Mitch McConnell has piled on, and even Sarah Palin has decided it is safe to take on her mentor.

Six days left in a campaign that feels like it has been going on for years; why would Barack Obama want to expend any of his fleeting time remaining going to Arizona, his opponent's home state? Because you play the game to win the game. That is why. And Senator Obama can win Arizona.
Sarah Sends Uncle Toobz to His Room without Any Dinner
Sarah Palin seems to suggest Uncle Toobz ought not pay for his crimes. I wonder if that betrays worry that she'll get busted for some of the same crimes?
