With just 24 hours remaining, John McCain can't buy a boost. The polls remained relatively steady over the last weekend of campaigning, and with the countdown underway, John McCain needs to win 5-of-6 Eastern Time Zone swing states for tomorrow to be even close. Does he have it in him, or will Obama be POTUS 44?
Today's Monday Lunch (four more to go!) focuses on Ohio: Can McCain slow Obama's momentum in the critical swing states? ALSO: What's worse, a Sixties radical or an Eighties fraud?
Today it's Bailout Bill v2.0: where do Obama and McCain stand on the new proposal, and who stands to benefit if the bill passes? ALSO: What do Palin's former debate opponents have to say about her prospects versus Biden?
The Democratic Convention is just getting started, but the Political Lunch team has already had quite a trip. From riding roller coasters with Wolf Blitzer, to rocking out with Sugarland and Dave Matthews, to touring the convention hall with Michelle Obama, Rob and Will have plenty to report on day one in Denver.
As Obama's foreign tour comes to a close, do hearts and minds abroad translate into a boost in the polls at home? Find out in the Political Lunch Friday 10-in-3! ALSO: What's McCain doing in front of that cheese case?
Your Monday Lunch includes General Wes Clark's controversial statements about McCain, Bill and Barack's plans for a sit down, the second quarter money race, and McCain's puzzling foreign travel.
It's Monday, so today we'll ease you back into the week with a look at the little things that could make a big difference in November: veeps, bad jokes, and third parties.
The week begins with carpetbaggers, influence peddling and more delegate counting. And while U.S. Democrats are split between Obama and Clinton, Iraqis are split on John McCain.
Today on the Lunch, it's a good day for Hillary but we say goodnight to Huckabee. Will and Rob cover the pivotal outcomes of Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.
On today's PLTS, Will breaks down the day's contests in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and yes, even Vermont. Is it really make-or-break for Hillary, or could bad weather in Ohio grant her a reprieve? PLUS: What's up with Florida?
