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.

CP, this is a reprint of THE NATION Online article I didn't like
last week - the one where my wife and I both thought the writer was told to do a positive spin on Rachel, but must not have liked her much, and was more obsessed w/her using makeup and wearing nice clothes than anything substantive?
Not as bad as THE NEW YORKER hit job on Olbermann a few months back (then again, tone-deaf as that Obama cover was, I'm not surprised they didn't like KO much!), but the air of "Through Gritted Teeth" did waft past while reading....
