What?

In what is a very terrible bit of "satire," the cover of the new The New Yorker features Barack and Michelle Obama dressed up like terrorists. Personally I found it to be very offensive. If you want to satirize the lies and smears being propagated about the Obamas, then perhaps you shouldn't legitimize them by enshrining them on the cover of your magazine. Maybe a better way to satirize them would be to attack the people spreading them. But I suppose that would require a level of intelligence and sophistication we can't expect from The New Yorker.

Polling

Rasmussen has several state polls out today, in South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota. The latter three polls all show Obama with solid leads between 8 in Michigan and 17 in Minnesota. These states are traditionally swing states, but they look like they'll be solidly blue in this election. The real swing states are starting to look like they may include the Dakotas, as the South Dakota poll puts Obama just 4 points behind McCain. If the swing states in this election are states like Virginia, Montana, and the Dakotas rather than those like Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa, it's very difficult to see McCain getting to 270.
