Even as Rachel Maddow prepares to take the helm of her own show at MSNBC, Barack Obama is slipping in the polls even as McCain isn't rising in them. That doesn't sit so well with Spencer Ackerman and me, so we parse the polls, the racists and what Obama's campaign needs to start doing (hint: it involves testicles and a Howitzer!) to win.
