Me, Megan McArdle and James "Jamie" Kirchick will invade your iPod in the new edition of Inside Washington Weekly. It's cosmotarian Christmas in August! Who's got the Anarchy, State and Utopia tree ornaments?
The Week in Brief
- John McCain
ran two ridiculous TV ads and three moronic web ads. Naturally
it was all anyone talked about and he moved up in the polls.
- Barack Obama
doesn't care about black people, it turns out.
- Bob Barr might have
made the West Virginia ballot, which could give him 49-state
(and D.C.) presence.
- Republicans squatted in the House to
protest the lack of movement on energy bills, and Democrats turned
the power off. Really, this happened.
Below the Fold
- Mark Blumenthal sweeps
aside the polls and figures out when the election is.
(November, if you were wondering.)
- Will Saletan stands
against Food Apartheid.
- The Conservative mayor of London endorses
Obama.
According to Pollster.com, Obama still leads McCain with 284 to 147 electoral votes, but McCain has improved marginally since last week. Thanks to a good Texas poll, his firewall has expanded to 112 EVs. (Obama's is 231 EVs.)
