10 DAYS OUT - TOP 10 STORIES

Here's what the media's talking about just ten days before Election Day (in no particular order):

1) Obama leads in the Polls - McCain trails by 2-13 points, depending on the source. Add 2-3% margin of error and a 20% chance of late afternoon showers, and this thing is still pretty much up for grabs.

2) Premature Inauguration - Is Obama counting his chickens before they vote? Maybe, but would it really be so bad to have a president who plans ahead based on available information?

3) Palin v McCain -- The honeymoon may be over. In the article below, a McCain advisor calls Palin a "diva" ---- Now that's just sexist. If she were a man, she would be called a Maverick...

Palin goes “rogue”

4) Obama's goes from Hawaii to Nevada --- Back on the campaign trail, Obama headed to Reno, avoiding Sin City and the temptation to say, "Vegas, Baby --- Vegas!"

5) McCain Goes West - Overheard at rally: "Taxes? We don't need new stinking taxes." Yee-haw my friends.

6)Biden's not Hidin' - After his world-class gaffe about an impending international crisis, Joe the Gaffer is blazing full speed ahead. No Palin-style sidelinin' for this dude.

7)Healthcare attacks on McCain may not be Obama's battle

8)UN Wants Barack -- Though the galaxy is still split with Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and backing Obama; Venus, Saturn, and Neptune for McCain, and Pluto and Uranus undecided.

9)Checks and Balances -- GOP warns of the dangers of one party rule. Yeah, we would run the danger of things actually getting done! Pretty scary!

10)Amy Poehler has a baby -- Not really an election story... except for the fact that it probably means no Hilary Clinton parodies this week.
