Technical difficulities

After getting off to the blazing start this morning of five posts by around 8:00 am or so, I've been waylaid by technical difficulties trying to send some video to London. Very confusing. And it's a nice little piece about Obama's grandma, too.

So far it doesn't seem like a huge news day. Just more socialist-black-terrorist stuff. This NYT poll is worth a quick look, though:

Mr. Obama's favorability is the highest for a presidential candidate running for a first term in the last 28 years of Times/CBS polls. Mrs. Palin's negative rating is the highest for a vice-presidential candidate as measured by The Times and CBS News. Even Dan Quayle, with whom Mrs. Palin is often compared because of her age and inexperience on the national scene, was not viewed as negatively in the 1988 campaign.
