I know that this has been said before and maybe I'm just worried more than I should be, but it seems to me that we are all falling into the trap of lowering the expectations so much for Sarah Palin that she will have no difficulty at all exceeding them and, in effect, "winning" the debate with Biden.

I know it's just a small thing, but listen to the tone of this first paragraph from an AP story:

The ARG has released a poll indicating that

George W. Bush's overall job approval has matched its low in American Research Group monthly polling as 82% of Americans say the national economy is getting worse, according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.

Among all Americans, 19% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 76% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 17% approve and 78% disapprove.

Let's get this news out there and continue to pound McGrumpy with more bad news...his ball and chain just got a little heavier.

New York Times is reporting on John McCain's ideas about what should be done with the health care system:

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

Andrew Sullivan nails it on the head with this amazing rebuke of John McCain. This should be sent to anyone and everyone you know who thinks that McCain's past (war hero and supposed "maverick") makes him fit to be President. If the Repubs want this to be a referendum on the character qualities of the candidates, we need to keep pounding the table with this issue. John McCain has endorsed the sleaziest campaign in modern history and every indication is that it will only get worse.
