P.U.M.A. hunter Katie Halper put together a campaign commercial for John McCain so that his female supporters all understand what they're voting for including unequal pay, a lack of reproductive choice and half-assed health insurance coverage. Politics starts at home, ladies. [Katie Halper]
Actual McCain staffers and Sarah Palin are trying to convince John McCain to open up Wright debate again because as Sarah said yesterday they've got nothing to lose. McCain, however, still likes his dignity some, so they're sneaking around behind his back to find other people to fund it. [Politico, CBS]
Yes, of course, Obama is totally prepped to talk about Ayers tonight. He's probably prepped to talk about Wright, too, if it comes to that. [Chicago Tribune]
McCain's been prepping, too, if this leaked debate prep video is anything to go by. Join in on my liveblog (thread starts at 7:30 ET, I start blogging at 9:00 ET) to see if he takes any of their advice! [The Jed Report]

Wonder Woman Linda Carter thinks Sarah Palin is the anti-Wonder Woman, calling her "judgmental and dictatorial" and suggesting that Hillary Clinton is more the W.W. archetype. Go Linda Carter! [The Hill]
Apparently, since Colin Powell is now a confirmed African-American, having announced it at a rally in Africa, Fox News is ready to guarantee that he's going to endorse Obama. There's nothing racist about that, though, nope, not at all. Don't you know all black people do everything together? [Washington Independent]
Kansas Senator Pat Robert's Democratic opponent, Jim Slattery, has a new ad that makes it look like Wall Street is pissing on us little people. That's kind of what it feels like some days. [Attackerman]
With another stock sell-off on Wall Street, today was one of those days. [NY Times]

Wild Things: Bloggers Go P.U.M.A. Hunting In Denver

Despite their prevalence on the cable news and even on "The Daily Show," P.U.M.A. sightings in ~~the wild~~ Denver have been few and far between for most conventioneers. But on our way to see Hillary's speech last night, Spencer Ackerman and fellow blogger Katie Halper and I found four of them wandering out in the wild. Although we were all taught that it's a bad idea to tease wild animals and unfair to have a battle of wits with unarmed opponents, wait for the part where Katie loses her patience with stupidity (happens to the best of us) and pulls out her sarcasm gun and blasts them.
