campaign detritus:
• As promised, Barack Obama sat for an interview with Fox News monster Bill O'Reilly; here's the first part. No fireworks, unless you consider a candidate acknowledging that the surge is working to be fireworks-worthy. Hopefully they're saving the good stuff for tomorrow.

The band, however, is perfectly willing to allow the campaign to make use of 80's schlock hit "Alone."
• Obama supporter Oprah Winfrey is reportedly reluctant to host the Republican VP nominee on her show; "half of her staff" want Palin on, reasoning that an audience-wide giveaway of tacky lipstick is a cheap way to boost ratings.
