By Wally EdgeWhile some Democrats had been turning to sites like eBay and Craigslist hoping to scoop up scalped tickets to see U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) speech tonight at INVESCO Field in front of an estimated crowd of over 75,000 people, Republicans are still giving away tickets for U.S. Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) Ohio rally tomorrow, where he had been expected to announce his vice presidential running mate.

Quote of the Day
"The simple fact is this: Considering how many there have been in our history, it’s pretty difficult to determine who actually is New Hampshire’s worst governor ever – just as it is difficult to determine who was the worst White House chief of staff ever to serve."
