Attorney General Michael Mukasey collapsed while giving a speech to the Federalist Society tonight. It appears to have been a stroke. Prayers.

What we’ve seen in the smears against Sarah Palin go beyond the normal post-election squabbling.

All is not lost. An Obama presidency does provide an opportunity for Conservatives.

“What an old anecdote about Mo Udall in the hospital reveals about McCain’s character.” A must-read.

More video evidence that “hope” and “change” really mean “typical politician.” The man has flip flopped more than John Kerry did in 2004.

You have to admit that Saturday Night Live has done a spectacular job at becoming relevant again during the campaign. (Olbermann-bashing bonus)

Many people have been opining to me lately that the race is over. Ah, how the mainstream media works wonders.
Let us not kid ourselves, trends are not looking good for John McCain these days. Every day the economic situation gets worse or more uncertain is another good day for the Obama camp (funny how that works, isn’t it?).
Well in regards to all this McCain’s done hooplah, Charles Johnson has a very relevant post entitled ”Anyone for Toast?”:
In Slate Magazine, William Saletan says the polls are so stacked against John McCain, there’s no possibility he can win. The race is over.
Oh, wait. That was eight years ago, and he was talking about George W. Bush.
Here’s the article Charles was talking about:
Since Labor Day, the media have released about 20 polls on the presidential race. Three show a dead heat, one shows George W. Bush leading by a single percentage point, and the rest show Al Gore leading by one to 10 points. In the latest polls, Gore leads by an average of five points. It’s fashionable at this stage to caution that “anything can happen,” that Bush is “retooling,” and that the numbers can turn in Bush’s favor just as easily as they turned against him. But they can’t. The numbers are moving toward Gore because fundamental dynamics tilt the election in his favor. The only question has been how far those dynamics would carry him. Now that he has passed Bush, the race is over.
Not that I’m predicting victory...but it sure would be sweet.
