wow. and on the news this a.m., i think it was msnbc the buzz was that neither O or C could beat mcCain alone. If that's true, I wouldn't break out the champagne re: some massive movement to left of centerish. I think it only indicates that it's people with spare cash that are doing something about the status quo.

not sure what to make of all the cash flowing toward O and C since, at least with the polls mentioned this a.m., it sounds like it still doing nothing for the win this fall.
