Can Yahoo! be compelled to provide backups assuming they exist?

Polls are not very reliable at this point. See:

A new round of battleground polls - First Read - msnbc.com

I'd be interested to see polls in mid october, after the debates are over. Basically, if Obama has something like a 5-6 point lead at that point, he's probably got the election.

Well.

Obama seized the initiative on the wake of the financial collapse. McCain shot himself in the foot.

Obama will be over 50% in most major polls and retake and maybe even add a bit to his pre convention lead.

In order to retake the momentum, McCain will kneecap Bush on national television, ala Tonya Harding, to show he isnt really a Republican.

I'm just a simple, country lawyer. But yes, I believe that if she is using the personal email account for official business, then it can be subpoenad. Problem is, I doubt Yahoo keeps backups of actual mailbox content for more than a few days/a week.

A similar issue came up with Karl Rove using personal email, him and his staff, to get around the records keeping requirements of the White House and a judge ordered them to give it up. Of course it had been deleted and the backups were mysteriously gone. But it was ordered.

Probably since the FBI and Secret Service are involved.

I thought Donna Brazille had some good comments:

Donna Brazile, Al Gore’s campaign manager in 2000, is used to this “bed-wetting” phase of the campaign. “Democrats are notorious for whining when things go bad,” she said. “A presidential campaign is not for the fainthearted.”

She is not without her own criticism of the Obama campaign, however. She believes that the race is “essentially tied” and that Obama’s media strategists “need to sharpen their ads so they are more memorable and have a shelf life of more than 24 hours.”

She also worries that the Obama campaign is “insular.” She said: “It doesn’t feel like a family with all voices at the table are as diverse as the party itself. It still feels like a primary campaign with some additions. It doesn’t feel like all hands on deck.”

She believes Obama “should get back to issues, instead of talking about change.”

“People still have lingering doubts about Obama as to whether he can be trusted as commander in chief,” Brazile said. “I thought his campaign would have more meat on the bones by now. They did great job at the convention, but it was short-lived.”

She said that at times “Obama’s voice is strong and articulate, but people don’t feel attached to him, and they have got to feel attached to him. That would answer some racial aspects that simmer below the radar and sometimes percolate over the top.”

“He has had some moments where he seems unsure of his own voice,” Brazile said, “but I still think he can pull this off.”

And if he doesn’t?

“If he doesn’t, then Obama didn’t lose,” she said. “The country just wasn’t ready.”

Palin gets her personal email hax0red by /b/ kiddies. This is so fucking funny! Can you imagine how boring the campaign would have been the past three weeks had McCain picked a boring old white dude like Lieberman, Romney, or Huckabee? Lmao

Yes, I can imagine that instead of the campaign stonewalling and leaving us to rumors, scandals, and lies we could listen to boring interviews and debates while they retain some degree of dignity.

They showed some of McCain's town hall tonight. Now Palin stands behind McCain in the same spot that Cindy used to stand in. Palin even does the periodic Cindy-style smile and head bob. It is obvious to everyone looking at this spectacle that she is just window dressing like Cindy.
