Either Chuck Todd or Charlie Cook said tonight that McCain's staff is hoping to tighten the race nationally under four points then hope for a 270-vote electoral win on election night. No one is talking about doing any better than that.

And the odds of getting that far get longer every day.

I got a call from the GOP last week inviting me to go see Palin today. I actually considered it momentarily just to get a sense of her grip on the crowd. But my curiosity wasn't strong enough. And, since I've never been to a candidate rally, I'd have no basis for assessing her performance.

>>Palin actually needs to get to Washington and deepen her experience there so she is prepared for running as a principal candidate herself. That should be evident after her experience this time around.<<

Dale -

I know. She could get a job as Obama's press secretary.

Palin actually needs to get to Washington and deepen her experience there so she is prepared for running as a principal candidate herself.

I have little doubt she'll take a shot at the senate before 2012. Should Stevens get reelected, but the senate won't seat him, I wonder if she then gets to appoint a successor. And I wonder when Murkowski's seat is up. I think it's in 2010. But don't know.
