DAY IN A NUTSHELL
John McCain outlines a raft of proposals to deal with the economic crisis, while Barack Obama opts to hold off on making any promises, instead calling on all parties to come together to find solutions. Sarah Palin announces that she will no longer be attending an anti-Iran rally next week, and blames "Democrat partisans" for politicising the event.
KEY QUOTES
"It's kind of hard to prepare, because I don't know what she thinks."
Joe Biden on his (lack of) preparation for his debate with Sarah Palin

If Obama really wants to present an honourable alternative to McCain's non-stop sleaze, he should take down his immigration ad immediately

"I regret and sometimes I'm offended by some of the negative aspects of this campaign."
John McCain, at a rally in Blaine, Minnesota
"People like Senator Obama have been too busy gaming the system and have never done a thing to actually challenge the system. That's not country first, that's Obama first."
John McCain, at a rally in Blaine, Minnesota
"I've given up any hope of McCain running an honest campaign, but if Obama really wants to present an honourable alternative to McCain's non-stop sleaze, he should take down his immigration ad immediately."
Joe Klein, Time magazine, objects to an Obama ad which misleadingly accuses John McCain of agreeing with radio host Rush Limbaugh's anti-immigration views
"This should be an issue that unites all Americans. Iran should not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, period. Unfortunately, some Democrat partisans put politics first and now no elected official can appear [at the anti-Iran rally]. This should not be a matter of partisan politics."

NUMBER NEWS
When John McCain first announced Sarah Palin as his running-mate, her approval rating was astronomical.
However, recent opinion polls indicate that her appeal may be on the wane.
On 11 September, the date of her first TV interview, 52% of voters had a positive opinion of her and 35% had a negative one, according to Research 2000. An approval rating of +17.
By 16 September, her rating had slipped to +1, with 45% of voters rating her favourably and 44% negatively.
Today, her rating has slumped even further, to -5; 46% of voters view her negatively and 41% view her positively, according to Research 2000.
This makes her now the least popular of the four presidential and vice-presidential candidates.
