I get email.

Dear Josh,Here’s the most important thing you need to know about this race: it’s neck-and-neck.

The difference in popular vote is less than 1 percent, and millions of voters have yet to make their voices heard. This election should be about their choice.

Bill Clinton

Real Clear Politics shows Obama with a popular vote lead of 717,262, with 25,993,612 votes cast. This makes the popular vote lead more like 2.8%. Bill, I don’t want to mark your emails as spam, but if you don’t stop lying to me, I’ll have no choice.

Meanwhile, the Clintons are busy helping small business owners in places like Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa and New York. At least they’ve finally released their tax returns

Muqtada al-Sadr has ordered his militia to stop attacking Iraqi forces. In an encouraging statement, he said “anyone carrying a weapon and targeting government institutions will not be one of us.”

What’s on your mind today?
