Runaway Horses Commented on Gibbs To Be White House Press Secretary by Greg Sargent

Sorry, I'm not clear on exactly what you're talking about.

Are you referring to Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman? To be installed as Treasury Secretary once President-elect Barack Hussein Obama is inaugurated as 44th President of the United States of America on Jan. 20, 2009?

Oh man, these past couple months have been pretty good in retrospect!

Yeah, I noticed that too. But we have another poll showing Obama with a 7-point lead out today. That's fine by me, though. 7-points with two days to go from multiple pollsters is a pretty much insurmountable margin. To steal another page from 538, if Obama is leading by 7% in PA, he has considerably better chance of winning Arizona than McCain has of winning Pennsylvania.

I have to say, this is pretty fucking awesome. This is the McCain campaign's only hope, and these polls prove that they're trying to do the impossible.

They have two days to cut down a seven point lead (even though it took them 10 days to shave off 5 points, which was surely the low-hanging fruit), and, according to Nate Silver's number-crunching, Obama still wins the election 80% of the time even if he loses Pennsylvania.

We are seeing the dying gasps of the McCain campaign.

I'd like to see a one or two point bounce on this. The clock is ticking on McCain!

And the Colin Powell endorsement!

There's an appropriate turn of phrase for a moment like this. Something about McCain and news, and perhaps excellence. I can't quite put my finger on it.
