- One week after a column in which Bill Kristol threw Palin softballs designed to provide political cover for her embarrassing media moments, Kristol brazenly suggests McCain is being ill-served by his campaign and McCain fires back, suggesting Kristol is in the tank for Obama. This disagreement bizarrely breaks out after the McCain campaign takes on a version of a message Kristol first introduced in February.
- Even better, now we learn that insiders to the McCain campaign say Kristol was responsible for forcing Palin on them and they hate him for it.
- Meanwhile, Gail Collins and the commenters at NY Magazine agree: If you say you don’t know enough about Obama and McCain now, you just don’t read enough or watch the news.
- 7-11 Poll suggest an Obama landslide. While the McCain campaign ran after Joe Sixpack and now goes for Joe the Unlicensed Not Quite A Plumber, Joe Slurpee is planning on dancing at Obamapalooza.
- The Harry’s Bar Straw Poll when I stopped in Sunday night in Paris had Obama 52 to McCain 26. Overheard at the bar from an American woman in a Chanel suit as she paid the bill for her and her male companion: “I’m not voting for her just because she’s a woman. Come on. Give me something more than that.”

Speaking of Bill Kristol and baseballs, I doubt very much you were watching Fox News last evening when he prophesied that if the Red Soxs win, so will McCain. Well, that settles that, doesn’t it? The Rays won.
