Despite the recent round of wet weather in Colorado – including some snow above 12,000 feet – Colorado politicians and fire officials warned fall can be one of the most active seasons for wildfires.
The Obama campaign today sent out a “memo” to reporters on “John McCain’s plan to ‘whip’ ‘That One’s’ ‘you-know-what.’” They quote three separate pundits saying McCain needs a game-changer tonight, and imply he’ll go after Obama’s connection to “terrorist” Bill Ayers. I don’t think so. I think McCain’s read the same polling as everyone else, and he’s chosen to go out with as much dignity intact as he can manage at this point. I expect a solid performance from McCain, but I don’t expect a nasty, negative “game-changer.”

I’ve written in the past about how the upcoming presidential debates seem to be stepping back from the viewer-participation models we saw in the primaries. Well Current TV and Twitter are trying to (somewhat) alleviate that. The two participatory media properties are looking to join forces to give viewers (somewhat) more of a say when Obama and McCain square off.
