Today's TRMS
We hope you all enjoyed Rachel filling in for David Gregory on Race for the White House tonight. But have no fear, there are still two more live hours of the Rachel Maddow Show coming up. On today's show Rachel will be talking to Steve Benen from the Carpetbagger Report about whether or not Obama is actually hitting McCain hard enough to win a presidential contest. And then David Bender will be here talking about Obama's week long vacation and whether or not he thinks it's a good thing for the tired candidate. Finally, Rachel welcomes Juan Cole back to the program. We want to know if the reports of a final agreement on a time line-- yes, you heard me, a time line-- has been reached between the Iraqi government and the Bush Administration.

Aloha from Hawaii!!
It's nice that Obama is coming home to Hawaii, but I do think it is a mistake (and possible attack point) if he does not make one public (free) appearance. He will be doing a big, high priced fund raiser at the Kahala... Having him do that and no public appearance would make him look kind of bad.
Edit: Just heard on Hawaii Public Radio, that Obama will have a free public speech tomorrow at Keehi Lagoon around noon. Well that's good at least.
