2 Interesting Columns on the Election

I was struck by 2 interesting columns in today's newspaper.

The first is from EJ Dionne, who posits that the McCain campaigns sequestering of Palin from the press is a tacit admission that she is not ready for the Prime Time of the Vice Presidency.

The second comes from David Brooks of the NY Times. Brooks points out that in the first ever election where 80% of voters think the country is headed in the wrong direction, traditional campaigning is not working. What is working? Weirdness.
