With the election just days away, Schumer met with reporters Thursday to announce he was moving a million dollars into Arizona, a GOP stronghold, where tracking numbers show a little-known challenger, Jim Pederson, within striking distance of Republican Sen. Jon Kyl. Told the Republicans were putting more resources into Maryland and Michigan, where their candidates were closing, Schumer grinned, “God bless ’em”.

The reaction from the Clinton camp was a collective shrug. The press, it was assumed (correctly), would play the speech as nothing new or worse-Bush’s suggestion that a 1 percent tax cut might be possible if his programs were enacted seemed more of the same old cynical, patronizing gamesmanship that is the signature of his “campaign mode.” That the Detroit address came a day after the president repromised never “ever, ever” to raise taxes again (and several hours after Marlin Fitzwater retracted that nonpledge) made it even more difficult to take seriously....

Barack Obama has the state to himself; Hillary Clinton’s campaign seems to have written Mississippi off, leaving only daughter Chelsea behind to try to turn out the vote. According to the two most recent polls, Clinton trails Obama by between 6 and 17 points—despite the long-standing ties of former Arkansas governor Bill Clinton to the region. Obama basked in his lead over breakfast at Buck’s restaurant in Greenville, accompanied by a few dozen local pols, while more than 100 cheering supporters gathered outside....
