Low Profile Tuesday

Tuesday the Romney bounce continued to show up in polls, though not enough so far to overcome President Obama's lead in key swing states, especially Ohio.  Amidst Dem angst, several polling experts and poly sci types advised patience, as President Obama is still favored (a 70% favorite by oddsmakers and the NYT guy.)

On the bright side, the SF Giants stayed alive in the playoffs, leading to this odd description leading the  AP  account: "Joaquin Arias hit a grounder toward third base and took off toward third, covering those 90 feet in a blink as a full-to-capacity ballpark went silent with angst."   If Arias actually had taken off toward third, it would be Giant fans with the angst (there's that word again.)  And here's a neat story about Hunter Pence's pregame pep talk and game heroics.

Meanwhile, there's also the ongoing Doonesbury strips on Mitt Romney.  My favorite so far.

 

And since the Sesame Street people are trying to keep Big Bird out of politics, this may be my only opportunity to show this.
