I'm going to keep this short and sweet. H/t to Ben Smith of Politico.

Banks are going bust, and McCain economic advisor Donald Luskin titles his op-ed "Quit Doling Out That Bad-Economy Line." Priceless.

Money quote:

McCain campaign adviser and former U.S. senator Phil Gramm was right in July when he said that our current state "is a mental recession."

Wow. Marc Ambinder reports from Philadelphia:

PHILADELPHIA -- It wasn't so much that Barack Obama had real fight in him tonight, or that more people attended his rally in front of Indendence Hall than any other event since he announced his candidacy. It was the spontaneous demonstration of support that happened when it ended.
5,000 people (at least) had nowhere to go but up Market Street. Obama's charge of the night: "Declare independence!" was with them. They started with the familiar "O-Bam-A." By 7th and Market, they had graduated to "Yes we can!" By 10th and Market, with hundreds streaming in between cars on the road, they were just cheering. At first, a few Philly cops, killjoys, tried to rough the crowd to the sidewalks. It didn't work. The cops retreated to the sidewalks. By the time I ducked into my hotel, a full mile away from Independence Park, the Obama crowd was still marching.

From National Review Online:

I hear from David Johnson of Strategic Vision that his company will be releasing a Pennsylvania poll tomorrow .

The poll, conducted April 4-6, 2008 of 1200 likely Pennsylvania voters, shows Clinton leading with 47 percent to Obama 42 percent. Interestingly, in the general election match-up it shows Clinton 45 percent to 42 percent for McCain; and McCain 48 percent to 41 percent for Obama. For the Democratic primary the margin of error is +/- 4.5% for the general election it is +/-3%.

The SurveyUSA numbers Rich posted in the Corner are fascinating, but so far, other pollsters aren't seeing the Hillary bounce that SUSA sees...

In his latest column, Antiwar.com editor and chief columnist Justin Raimondo lashes out at what he calls the "left face of the war party;" namely, left-wing military hawks.

Referring to Kos' post from last week, Raimondo writes:

"The pure partisanship of some war opponents is indicated by this post by one of the founders and "leaders" of DailyKos.com, the "netroots" of the Democratic party machine:
