Obama and Clinton Draw 50,000

A joint rally between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton drew 50,000 people, according to West Palm Beach city officials.

She told voters to dial 1-888-2FL-OBAMA to find an early voting site or report voting problems.

According to the AP:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama spent $87.5 million last month and began October with nearly $134 million in the bank.

The numbers illustrate his vast financial advantage over John McCain, his Republican rival, in the final stretch of the contest. McCain ended September with $47 million in the bank.

Joe Klein wrote about John McCain’s “fabulous loon[iness]” over the past weekend:

Legitimate and truthful? I supposed that’s why Susan Collins, one of McCain’s closest friends in the Senate, criticized him for this trashball tactic. Oh, and the “same guy” Wallace was referring to is none other than Warren Tompkins, whose name was a synonym for satan among the McCain inner circle in 2000. I can imagine John breaking the news to Cindy, “Hey, honey, great news! Remember that guy who was involved in spreading the rumors about your addiction to pain killers and Bridget being an illegitimate interracial child? Well, we’ve got him doing that same sort of high-minded stuff for us!”

We have got to keep up the pressure on McCain, measure our pace and maintain stamina for supporting Obama.  The election is so close now, and we musn’t flag or founder in our efforts.
