Lots of stuff happened this weekend, and I didn't blog about any of it. Here's some catch-up.
* Marriage equality has reached Connecticut. Three down, forty-seven to go.
* John McCain is finally trying to calm his crowds down and getting booed for his efforts.
* How big is "big"? However big "big" is, Obama's still-unannounced fundraising total is it.
* Since polling began, only one candidate has ever closed a gap as the one now facing John McCain: Ronald Reagan. And since we already know Obama is the liberal Ronald Reagan, that leaves McCain pretty much high and dry. The RNC is even thinking of bailing on him to try and protect congressional seats.
* Though not everyone agrees McCain is toast. "My friends, we’ve got them just where we want them.” And the media backs up his unhealthy delusions by reporting ten-point Obama leads as "toss-ups" and 2% McCain leads as "Lean McCain."
* Palin cleared in Troopergate probe—by herself. The real probe says she acted unlawfully, and so does the New York Times.
* And is this the end of American capitalism?
