Sarah Palin Baby Story Ender  —  Here it is:  —  OK, there is a visibly-pregnant Sarah Palin talking with a CBS 11 ( Juneau) reporter at the end of the Alaska legislative session.  She clearly appears to be pregnant.  —  Unless someone has counter evidence, we can drop this crap now.
Ed Morrissey / Hot Air:
A picture refutes a thousand nutcase conspiracies  —  I'd like to share a picture of Governor Sarah Palin's lovely young family, a photo that some may have already seen in connection to a despicable Internet smear against the Palins.  Here we have Sarah and Todd with their daughters Piper, Willow, and Bristol.

A Clintonite in Denver  —  For many of us who were part of the Clinton campaign, Sen. Barack Obama's appeal was something we understood only in the abstract — data in polls, faces at a televised rally.  —  Most of us never heard him speak in person.  At work 14 hours a day in the war room …

John Dickerson / Slate:
THE HURRICANE UPSETS THE GOP CONVENTION BUT MAY BE GOOD FOR THE GOP.  —  Gustav is now the third name on John McCain's ticket.  Depending on how McCain responds, he may actually benefit from its presence—and those in the hurricane's path could also benefit from the politicization of the response.
