In this episode, Glenn and Jeff discuss the happenings of campaign messaging and strategy. They cover the $150K wardrobe of Sarah Palin, the socialism charges and of course the now famous B Girl. Jeff still asks why the two of them are not on MSNBC and reaches out to Karl Rove to intervene. Jeff and Glenn also take credit for bringing Ted Stevens down. All this and much, much more!

In this episode, Glenn and Jeff explain why Colin Powell's endorsement is so meaningful. It wasn't just what Gen. Powell said, but why he said it that may prove to be the proverbial last straw that breaks the McCain campaign. They also discuss Obama's fundraising prowess, and the real issue in featuring Joe the Plumber in the last Presidential Debate, which speaks to how horribly the McCain campaign has been run. Finally, they turn the clock back a little and look at how the campaigns could have been different, and where things may go over the last 16 days.

With McCain’s campaign suffering from political schizophrenia, Jeff and Glenn channel Freud and put the situation on the couch, dissecting  the right side of the brain, a tenuous and incomplete alliance with the conservative religious evangelicals vs. the left side of the campaign’s brain, the more socially libertarian and fiscally conservative. In breaking down the campaign, Jeff and Glenn review the following:

1. How does McCain build a winning coalition in under 30 days that’s true to whatever basic values he has?
   
2. What would a 4 or 8 point swing in the polls mean to McCain’s chances?
   
3. How right is the right, and can they win even in losing? (think of all the fundraising and organizing they can do off a Democratic sweep)
   
4. How do fractures in the campaign effect the way McCain will handle the next debate? Will he rip him a new ____hole, as he reportedly told campaign workers according to today’s New York Times. Or will he offer serious economic policy prescriptions, as suggested by Republican Senator Lindsay Graham?

And finally, the most important question of all… Why aren’t Jeff and Glenn hosting a morning talk show yet?  Today’s broadcast of Morning  Joe on MSNBC practically brought the co-hosts to blows — it was more uncomfortable than watching a McCain-Obama debate. Talk about cranky.  Tell us how you think we can make this happen — we’re asking for your help in promoting our show to your friends and family — and give us some ideas for the show’s name…something other than Glenn and Jeff  in the morning…

This is your wake up call, America. A new day is dawning and it’s time to get moving.

Listen to the current installment of PoliTalk and get yourself informed, inspired, entertained and ready for the day… spread the word… tell two friends, and so on and so on…
