• The hacker of Sarah Palin's Yahoo e-mail says that there was nothing newsworthy there at all: "I read though the e-mails... ALL OF THEM... before I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor.... And pictures of her family."

• Hundreds of thousands of new voters and lots of new machines may mean a disastrous election in November.

• Reporters with both the Obama and McCain camps are getting very little actual access.
