Looking up?
I don't know how the "crisis on wall street" is playing out back home, but over here it has done one very useful thing for the Obama campaign: people have stopped talking about Sarah Palin, for the first time in two and a half weeks. And the media is once again covering the candidates' position on the actual issues, even if both candidates have struggled to put out a clear message, other than: 'If I win, this won't happen again. If the other guy wins you can be sure it will'. Well they would say that, wouldn't they. But after five days when Sarah Palin wasn't the top news item, Obama is once again leading in the polls, if only by a hair's breadth.
Other interesting things:
John McCain's campaign has received at least $11.4m from the "struggling investment sector", Obama's at least $8.9m.
The campaigns are increasingly focusing their campaign advertising on women, by placing more ads during Oprah than any other show (bar the news).
Sarah Palin's personal email account, which she was rather naughtily using to conduct official business, apparently, has been hacked
