Seven Houses: How's It Playing?
The Atlantic Politics Channel — The Obama campaign sends clips to reporters this a.m from the network evening newscasts   local news in places like  Raleigh-Durham, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Erie and dozens of excerpts from newspapers and websites. I'm betting that the McCain campaign hopes that Obama's VP roll-out eclipses this stuff, but something tells me that Obama's campaign may milk it, even as both candidates are technically "off" today.

Why McCain's Homes Matter
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire — Sen. John McCain's inability to tell a reporter how many home he owns became a major issue in the campaign last night, with segments on all three network news programs. Chris Cilliza nails why it matters: "In politics, there is nothing worse than appearing out of touch."
