In the latest Quinnipiac polls (out today), Obama has swung back to a 5-point lead in OH and a 3-point lead in PA.  McSame still leads by 5 in Florida.

On "Verdict with Dan Abrams" tonight, the topic came up about whether the Rev. Wright story was an invention of the media.  But then, Roy Sekoff from HuffPo fires back at Dan Abrams, and asks why MSNBC wasn't covering the paid Pentagon military "analyst" story.  Here's what Dan had to say:

Sekoff:

And we've heard absolutely NO followup about the military analysts, who were paid and trained to go on TV and lie to the American people about the war.  None.

Abrams:

But that's not... that's not about the presidential... Look, that's about whether people are covering the administration enough, and I assure you that on this program we do, and on this network we do.

Sekoff:

You haven't covered that story, Dan.

Abrams:

Look, I don't want to argue with you about that story.  I'll argue with you about that story off-line, because I've investigated that story myself.  Tony, let me talk about this...

Abrams then goes off about the media and Wright.  More below the break...

The Senate passed the war funding authorization today, 51-47.  Not sure who crossed over to vote with the Dems (I'm assuming it's Hagel).
