For those of you who don't pay attention to football, each year, Grambling State University and Southern University play each other in the Louisiana Superdome in what is known as "The Battle of the Bands." Although it is an important rivalry for both football teams, the game is better known for the halftime performance featuring each school's marching bands.

This afternoon, both schools capitalized on history....

Shortly, at the stately and picturesque Arizona Biltmore, Senator John McCain will step out onto the vast lawn and address America with an important concession speech.

Can we give him ideas to what he should say? Feel free to add your concession speech ideas, my friends....

For many of you who don't live in the Grand Canyon State, until recently, you probably thought John McCain's chances of claiming the 10 electoral votes in his home state to be a virtual lock.

But since October 23, eight seperate polls have put McCain's once dominant lead here to between just 1 and 8 points, with Kos' most recent Arizona poll showing the one-point lead for McCain over Barack Obama.

What's going on here in Arizona? Let's look at Arizona Secretary of State numbers after the fold to find one probable answer...

I was holding out a small amount of hope that they might go the other way, but they do have to hold onto that smaller and smaller (and older and older) percentage of readers who actually have news delivered to them on that thing that most of us used to see in driveways years ago: newspapers.

Not that many of you make up your minds because your local fish-wrap tells you to think a certain way, but for fun, I went to Wikipedia's tracking of 2008 POTUS newspaper endorsements[http://en.wikipedia.org/....]

John McCain's list of newspaper endorsements so far are fairly predictable (New York Post, Dallas Morning News to name a few), but so far, no major newspaper who endorsed John Kerry in 2004 has weighed in for McCain.

Conversely, Barack Obama's list of newspaper endorsements includes 18 which endorsed George W. Bush in 2004. A few of the noteworthy defections include the Chicago Tribune, Detroit Free Press, Houston Chronicle, Denver Post, and Salt Lake Tribune. Don't dismiss the Chicago Trib's change as just supporting their native son: The Chicago Tribune has never before endorsed a Democrat for President in the general election.

OK, so maybe the Yamhill County News Register doesn't have a huge subscription base, but Yamhill County, Oregon was once considered "safe GOP" territory. Not anymore.

Who is your local newspaper endorsing?
