Political bits....
The National Enquirer claims (with multiple sources and a polygraph test) that Sarah Palin had an extra-marital affair in '96 while she was mayor of Wasilla. (Judge for yourself.)
The new NBC/WSJ poll teases with this, "Forty-nine percent say that Palin is unqualified to be president if the need arises, compared with 40 percent who say she's qualified."
A FoxNews poll has Obama +6 nationally. (NBC poll tonight.)
(Pollster) An interesting piece on Pew and the "cell phone effect" arguing that it may skew 2 points off Obama.
(Ambinder has something on the Pew study, too.)
(LynnSweet) Rick Davis, the McCain campaign manager who took millions from Freddie Mac, is dodging reporters today, canceled a meeting and didn't participate in the daily conference call.
(CNN) Laura Bush is asked whether Palin has appropriate foreign policy experience. "Of course she doesn't have that."

I wonder if The National Enquirer has more sway with undecideds/swing voters than NYtimes or WaPo...

I don't know.
But, because of its grocery store placements, it probably has higher visibility among women voters.
Doesn't mean it has influence, but that cover will get seen.

It's funny that that gives them credibility, isn't it?
Frankly, I don't really doubt the story, but because of their source practices, I'm always hesitant to give them full credibility, you know?
The Edwards source told them to be there so they could see it, so, paying him as a source is more like paying a stringer. In he said/she said, the Enquirer's practices are a little more suspect.
