From my sunny-minded friend:

Jonah:
Before the Corner sets a 16 minute timeline for withdrawal from the Presidential race, today’s Hotline poll has it 45-44, and today’s Zogby has it Obama by 2. Much more importantly, this may help explain the events of the last week. Obama outspent McCain 3-1 on TV from September 30-October 6th, and look at the numbers in the swing states. It begs the question: is McCain husbanding some resources for the last three weeks, or will he be outspent the whole way? Earlier stories on public financing suggested he (with the RNC) would be OK, and September was the best fundraising month ever for the RNC if I recall correctly…
