Latest Poll in North Carolina Shows McCain Only Up 4
According to a new Civitas Institute poll, Sen. Barack Obama has pulled to within four points of Sen. John McCain in North Carolina.
Among all voters, McCain leads Obama, 45% to 41%, with Libertarian Bob Barr getting 2%.

Updated Halperin’s The Page Shows Pittsburgh Photo Instead of Detroit

As you can see from the screen cap, he’s writing about Obama’s Monday visit to Detroit. However, the photo is clearly of Pittsburgh at night. Even if you don’t recognize the [...]
