McCain to Appear on Saturday Night Live

McCain is rumored to be appearing on SNL this weekend. McCain already appeared on SNL in May of this year, and he even hosted SNL back in 2002.

Can John McCain Still Win?

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll shows Obama leading McCain by 10 points (53 percent to 43 percent among likely voters). With polls showing this strong a lead for Obama, Salon.com asks the question of how McCain/Palin might still win the election next month...

Salon.com lists four factors that might still lead to a McCain win:

• The volatile voter -- voters can change their mind up until the last minute
• The October surprise -- an economic or foreign-policy surprise might benefit McCain
• Another McCain dice roll -- a dramatic gambit
• Know when to fold them -- a perfect selection by the McCain campaign of the key battleground states

The most interesting suggestion is that perhaps McCain will publicly attack the presidency of George W. Bush, certainly a risky move with the Republican base.
