Federal Judiciary

A Couple Items From the New Republic

By AndrewHyman

Jeffrey Rosen gets at least one thing right in his article in the latest issue of The New Republic:

This year, for the first time since the New Deal era, a single election really does have the power to transform the Court--at the very moment that voters, rightly concerned about the tanking economy and the war in Iraq, are looking the other way.

And, the New Republic also has some positive polling news for McCain-Palin:

Strategic Vision has McCain narrowly ahead in both Florida and Ohio, and gaining ground in Pennslyvania. Strategic Vision is a Republican polling firm, and indeed has had a 2-3 point Republican lean this cycle, but nevertheless, these represent significant improvements for McCain in all three states from Strategic Vision's last set of polling. Rasmussen, meanwhile, has him narrowly ahead in North Carolina -- actually the first North Carolina poll that he's led in some time -- and closing his difference with Obama in New Hampshire, where his taxation message may be selling well.

So, it's still very much an open question who will win the election, though Obama definitely seems to have an edge now.
