Todd Palin addressed a crowd of 75 fellow sportsmen at a gun club this morning as part of a three-event campaign swing through Pennsylvania.
The husband of the Republican vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, told supporters that it is important to have a ticket that "supports our core values -- hunting and fishing." Mr. Palin, who is new to the campaign trail, spoke for only three minutes at the Pitcairn-Monroeville Sportmen's Club.

Core Values
I don't have any problem with hunting and fishing and can understand that for some people it's a big part of their identity, but isn't "core values" a bit much?
IT WAS A TIE!!!
New polling highlights the tremendous gap between what the pundits on teevee thought about the debates and what the public thought about them. Now I don't think the teevee pundits necessarily have to be perfect reflections of public thought all of the time. I'd be find if Chuck Todd or whoever just told me what he thought about the debate. But that's not what they do. They try to imagine what the great unwashed masses thought about the debate and then explain that to us. And they basically got it wrong every time. Perhaps remedial pundit school? Some new pundits? Something?
Convene SEVERAL Meetings
Did I say summit? I meant summits!
Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The leaders of the U.S., France and the European Commission will ask other world leaders to join in a series of summits on the global financial crisis beginning in the U.S. soon after the Nov. 4 presidential election.
Powell Backs Obama
So sez MSNBC.
I think what little credibility Colin Powell had is in a little vial of white powder somewhere, and have no desire to help rehabilitate his image. Still such things are not aimed at me, but at that segment of the population for whom the recommendation of their first black friend might encourage them to get a second one.

They're (almost) all "Democrats" now
I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen a split-decision endorsement before. Even the Republican ChiTrib and the neocon WaPo just endorsed Obama, after all.
PS. Mind you, this is a whole 'nother level of endorsement.
Signed,
Not Atrios

Convene A Meeting
We're saved!
CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Saturday he would soon host a summit of world leaders to look at strategies to combat the global financial crisis.
Deep Thought
You'd think c-list celebrity status would provide at least a few extra World Series tickets.
Afternoon Thread
Enjoy.
...not bad for one day. If the "netroots" broadly could do that half a dozen times every election cycle that'd a real boost. Surprise money like that is hard to generate, except for parachute drops from the DCCC.

The Real Virginia
It's long been somewhat frustrating that while we all know that liberals are supposed hate America, it's actually Republicans who hate Americans. Lots of them. Anyone not of their tribe gets chucked out of the country.
Bad Press
I agree with Glenn that the New York Times story about the McCains really is pretty bad. There are two ways to think about something like this, whether it fits in with the press's usual standards for these things and what those standards should be. As Glenn says, given the treatment of the Clintons by the NYT it apparently does fit within the standards they've set for themselves, but those standards have gotten pretty low.
One thing will be probably be different for this story probably Unlike such stories about the Clintons, this one won't drive cable news coverage for a week. More than that it'll probably be largely condemned and used to accuse the NYT of that evil librul bias.
