The latest on the horse-race

I love stories like this. Here's a pretty cool piece from Politico that gives some ground level data on a few crucial counties in big swing states. The cool thing is that instead of offering this view from a million feet in the sky we get the stats on a much more micro-level. Go check it out. The writer, Alexander Burns, did work.

UPDATE: Meanwhile McCain has finally settled on a national strategy. It's Joe The Plumber. Nothing else. Just Joe the Plumber.
