I suspect the two were equal, or that Obama was ahead, but that the Republican ”cross-overs” [a la Rush] is what did it.

NB: blockquote no-workee.

Barack made a mistake or two, and he’s playing defense when a little offense is now called for.

I’ll give Hill credit for a little more metal than I figured she had here in Texas. I’m suprised, never expected it from talking to folks around town here, but Austin isn’t Texas, and she adjusted and come across pretty well lately.

Yeah, I’m over reacting, but media did step up for her, and it sure helped. And I’m still peeved at Stewart.
