My favorite corporate trainer PhD puts this compilation of the news, sometimes with bold face blurb on her part. 
Best,

Of course, if you want to visit my sponsors (links on the website), that would be great.  And if you can afford to contribute after so many years of Republican rule, that would be nice, too.

It is official - Obama is the biggest ass**** to ever run for President (by John: south of Melrose Liberal Rapture)

Yes, he said it.  Why don’t you give them the finger, Barack, as you did Hillary?  You are one classy dude.
Your fellow Democrats (by vastleft at Corrente)
I’ve never been more proud. This DU [Democratic Underground] thread, which currently has 31 recommendations (5 is the threshold to appear on the page of “greatest” posts of the day), celebrates the implication that Obama specifically had Palin in mind with his “lipstick on a pig” comment. Several other threads avidly deny that he meant it that way. It is a well-worn phrase, and I have no way of knowing whether he meant it to refer to Palin, but after her “lipstick/hockey mom/pitbull” comment it’s a poor choice of wording at very best. But, heck, it’s just words.
So, how’s all that nastiness working out for you, Barack?
McCain holds 5-point lead for second day; in past, such advantages have held for a while (On Politics, USA Today)
Two days in a row now, Gallup’s presidential tracking poll has given Republican nominee John McCain a 5 percentage point lead over Democrat Barack Obama. The latest reading, according to Gallup: McCain, 49%; Obama, 44%. That’s the same score as yesterday. And according to Gallup, history suggests McCain’s lead could last for at least a while.
McCain Now Winning Majority of Independents (Gallup)
PRINCETON, NJ — John McCain’s 6 percentage-point bounce in voter support spanning the Republican National Convention is largely explained by political independents shifting to him in fairly big numbers, from 40% pre-convention to 52% post-convention in Gallup Poll Daily tracking… Regionally, Gallup finds solid gains for McCain in all areas of the country except the West, where his already fairly high support has held steady. However, the 9-point increase for McCain in the South on top of his previous 49% support level in that region makes the South now overwhelmingly pro-McCain, 58% to 36%.
