Sarah Palin saves the tv show Thirty Rock

I’ve never seen the show, but it stars Alec Baldwin, so that’s that. It’s called Thirty Rock, with Tina Fey, whom Sarah Palin has just made famous. B&C implies that Sarah may have indirectly saved the sitcom.

Polls. Sick to death of ‘em.

But yesterday’s Gallup tracking of likely voters — today’s isn’t live yet, as I type — showed Obama up by 2%: 49% - 47%.

Today’s Reuters has Barry up by 3-points, 50% to 46%.

The momentum is moving McCain’s way in the battlground States, poll say.

The media narrative has been written for months. The voters are rewriting it for them.

Senator Sarah Palin?

If Ted Stevens wins reelection, and I hop he does, he’ll be forced to step down. Governor Sarah Palin appoints his successor, and there is speculation that this might be: Senator Sarah Palin.

We’re still wating on Vice President Sarah Palin.

WPSU.org’s Candidate Central web site

As we in central and western Pennsylvania slide into the final week of this year’s election season, WPSU.org has put together their Candidate Central web site site, with “easy to use information about all the state and U.S. congressional candidates that fall within Central PA as well as parts of Western PA. It features over 80 candidate profiles from 27 counties.”

This is a comprehensive, impartial website. It is meant to be an informational resource for voters, especially concerning local races that don’t normally get much attention in the media. It features video and audio interviews, a questionnaire on where candidates stand on key issues, a blog, and other such features. It also includes a “My Ballot” feature where users can enter their county and township to see which candidates are running within their area.

It’s a great place to look if you want to keep up with what’s going on in our region. I like the blog, which begins about halfway down the main page, though it hasn’t been updated since Friday.

Your chance to ask Obama a question.

Wolf Blitzer interviews Sen. Barack Obama Friday in The Situation Room, and you can be a part of it. CNN invites you to ask the Democratic presidential candidate questions on a wide range of topics.

Send over your video questions at iReport.com!

It is clear that I’d ask nothing they want to answer.
