Obama has the biggest lead ever in the national tracking polls. He's at 50% in three out of four. There are three obvious reasons for this. The economic meltdown helps because people trust Obama more on the economy. Secondly, Obama won the first debate. But the number one reason that Obama is moving ahead is that Sarah Palin is a numbskull.

Wolf Blitzer, coming out of a commercial: "We've been getting some emails from views out there wondering why we spent some time interviewing Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and not Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee. We would have loved to interview--we'd still love to interview Sarah Palin. Unfortunately we asked, we didn't get that interview...We're hoping that Sarah Palin will join us at some point down the road." More on Sarah Palin

When US stocks dived following the passing of the bailout bill, President Bush sought to calm investors. He said it would “take a while” for the bill to take effect. Problem is George W doesn’t have much time. In less than one month, Americans will vote into office either Barack Obama or John McCain. Each has very different ideas about how to tackle the financial crisis. Martin Hutchinson says Obama is most likely to win on a populist anti-Wall Street platform. But if he follows up this rhetoric with more regulation and protectionism, this could hurt US investors even more in the long run.

HONOLULU (AP) - Voting has ended in what is being touted as the nation's first all-digital election, and city officials say it has been a success. Some 115,000 voters in Honolulu's neighborhood council election were able to pick winners entirely online or via telephone. The voting, which started May 6, ended Friday. City officials say the experiment appears to have generated few problems; it has even saved the financially strapped city around $100,000. "It is kind of the wave of the future," said Bryan Mick, a community relations specialist with the city Neighborhood Commission, "so we're kind of glad in a way that we got to be the ones who initiated it."
