Some more commentary on Mazen Asbahi and the Obama campaign – first, from yaman salahi, who asks why the Wall Street Journal reported on the allegations of Asbahi’s “ties” to fundamentalist groups without any attempt at investigation.
Second, at political polling wundersite fiverthirtyeight.com, who reprints an email from a close friend of Asbahi’s and points out that the issue may well have electoral consequences in Michigan (still a swing state).

if obama loses michigin he’s probably losing, period, because there are a crap load of states way more marginal that would almost certainly have shifted to mccain. so it’s only technically a swing state.
