Crunch time at the Washington Post
Powerline
You can tell that the Maryland Senate race has tightened because the Washington Post is shifting resources from the Webb campaign to the campaign of Benjamin Cardin. Today's lead headline in the paper edition is "Debate Puts Steele On Defense." The story's purpose is not to provide a fair report on the latest Steele-Cardin debate, but to remind area voters, especially those in the key county of Prince Georges, that Steele is a Republican who has supported key Bush administration policies. By contrast, the Post's reporting of the Allen-Webb race has focused not on Allen's voting record but on his Jewish heritage and whether he made certain racial comments when he was in college.

Don't be surprised if the Post begins putting out two papers so it use its headline story to shill simultaneously for Cardin and Webb.
