Republican presidential nominee John McCain has hammered home the message that he hates pork and wants to balance the budget by 2013.

He thought it showed a toughness we haven’t seen yet from the candidate.

Of note, I’ve always thought that Todd is one of the savvier, intellectually honest pundits out there.

Perhaps even more so than the late Tim Russert. So something tells me that his will be the consensus opinion come tomorrow.

What impressed me so much about this speech is Obama essentially reframed the American Dream tonight as something we can all share if we believe in the liberal traditions of fairness and equality.

So call him a fake and a phony all you want.

But tonight he called upon the middle class to take back a country that hasn’t been working for them.

And I have a feeling they’re going to do just that.

On the Nov. 4 ballot, Austin residents will not only face a decision between McCain and Obama, but also whether to prevent the city from subsidizing retail stores.

If approved, a new citizen-led initiative called Stop Domain Subsidies will halt any tax rebates or subsidies provided by the city to retail stores.

McCain makes fun of Obama and compares him to God, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Obama answers by pointing out how McCain doesn’t really know very much about economics.

As always, thanks to MSNBC for providing such a high quality, embeddable player.

“I am glad that the administration has finally shifted to accepting a timetable for the removal of our combat troops from Iraq.”

With leaners
Obama - 47%
McCain - 46%

Without leaners
Obama - 45%
McCain - 43%

Obama’s Veep announcement is probably today, so these numbers may change a bit between now and the Democratic National Convention.

With leaners
Obama - 48%
McCain - 46%

Without leaners
Obama - 45%
McCain - 42%

Obama adds one in the “with leaners” numbers, but can he reach 50%?

Or will McCain overtake him after the Republican National Convention?
