Twin Cities Competition

Campaigns compete in the Twin Cities. McCain-Palin (video here) outdraws the other guys.

(Meanwhile, a moose is loose in Fargo. Is it crossing into swing-state territory to that other twin city, Moorhead?):

About 12:30 p.m., with a little prodding from a game warden who approached the animal clapping his hands, the moose began ambling south along Sheyenne Street.

Traffic on Sheyenne Street was closed while about half a dozen police and fire vehicles escorted the moose out of town.

Leier said because of their size, moose are not afraid of many things and tend to do what they want, when they want to do it.

When possible, it’s best to let them do just that, he added.

“If you treat these animals as friends of the area and do not disturb them, we’re going to have a better outcome,” said Leier, adding he hopes the public will some day come to regard moose sightings like they do wild turkeys.

“Nobody even stops to look at a turkey anymore,” he said.

P.S. Funny how the online version doesn't mention the Obama numbers downtown. The print edition has it at 3,000.

UPDATE: More from Sarah in Minnesota:

BLAINE, Minn. - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin told supporters Friday that "Democrat partisans" had pressured organizers of an anti-Iran rally in New York next week to withdraw an invitation for her to appear. "This should be an issue that unites all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, period," Palin said at a rally here. "Unfortunately, some Democrat partisans put politics first and now no elected official can appear. This should not be a matter of partisan politics."

HotAir on Rep. Wexler:

If you missed yesterday’s post, the “representative” Obama’s jackass campaign was planning to send was a guy who was in the headlines most recently for calling Palin a closet Nazi. That’s what they had in mind as a show of bipartisan comity in presenting Iran with a united front, which is par for the course with his creepy leftist supporters.

The editorial page editor of the liberal AJC, Cynthia Tucker thinks Palin is Cheney with a moose gun. I think she's a much better shot. She took out Alaska's old boys pretty handily. It's pretty pathetic when liberals misrepresent the facts and spin conspiracy theories in compact with Republican porkers in Alaska feeding at the public trough. Suzanne Fields on the feminist face-off for the future. NOW's face is already red. Um, blue.

UPDATE: WaPo gives Palin a backhanded compliment:

Palin seems a natural campaigner, energetic in a crowd and calm on stage. If there's such a thing as an Alaskan accent, it sounds on Palin a lot like the Upper Midwest, a more subtle version of the actress Frances McDormand in the movie "Fargo."
