Going into the weekend, we have new numbers to play with:
Barack Obama might just be getting his post-primary national bounce. A new poll from Newsweek gives him a 51%-36% lead over John McCain, up from a 46%-46% tie a month ago. Obama is helped by some key statistics. Five-five percent [...]

Or, there’s a really bad communication problem within the campaign. Positions on issues, like this one, really need to be known.
Obama’s spokesman still doesn’t know his candidate’s position on the new FISA bill that passed the House today. The Senate vote is next week [...]
