		<description>This morning, http://www.fivethirtyeight.com has the race at dead even.  538 is better than Gallup, as it&#039;s a poll of polls with more accurate weights for pollster-induced error.  Gallup is very high on induced error.

I wouldn&#039;t say don&#039;t worry if you are an Obama supporter.  But it&#039;s a good thing Palin is lying about her record.  Check out this vid for an analysis on the results of her earmark requests:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xbn_AXlaeY

On how she used the money from the Bridge to Nowhere,&quot;according to a â€œsummary of requests for federal appropriationsâ€ posted to her budget officeâ€™s website earlier this year, Palin requested millions of federal dollars for everything from improving recreational halibut fishing to studying the mating habits of crabs and the DNA of harbor seals&quot;.  From http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13353.html

She botched a deal on a sports complex for Wasilla, AK, costing the city an extra $1.3 million.  That&#039;s a lot, when you consider it could have easily cost just $126,000.  Not good for her image as a smart money manager. From http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122065537792905483.html, also http://www.adn.com/sarah-palin/background/story/168047.html

She also increase sales taxes on the city&#039;s residents.  Not good for Republicans to raise taxes.

Just because these examples exist, doesn&#039;t mean a thing.  Obama supporters need to send links and tell others about how Palin is no where near ready to be VP.  Don&#039;t count on the media to publicize it, because they either won&#039;t or will botch it.

She is a younger hotter version of the same old pols who will look you in the eye while lying to you.</description>

		<description>The big question now, at least for the Obama campaign, is how long Sarah Palin&#039;s novelty will last. Keep in mind that Obama himself used to be the novelty candidate, but for a multitude of reasons that novelty wore thin over the summer and he slowly lost his once-commanding lead over McCain - and that was before Palin had ever entered the picture.

If Obama&#039;s novelty can wear off, so can Palin&#039;s. In fact if this were still the early summer, I would have said it was just a matter of time before it did wear off. But as it is, that matter of time may end up being too long to do Obama any good.</description>

		<description>My in-depth analysis of this election also leads me to believe that if he loses his lead, McCain might risk losing the election altogether.</description>
