In Today's Observer

Lots to read in today's Observer. I make the point that Mike could lose this one; I also get an early look at that Kerry documentary that's causing all the fuss. Jason Horowitz dives into the recriminations surrounding Eve Rachel Markewich's race for Surrogate, a.k.a, he writes, the "worst campaign in living memory." Jess Bruder talks to Jon Corzine. Matt Schuerman dissects the Freedom Center controversy, noting that the center isn't holding. Less directly relevant to politics, two must-reads: Alexandra Jacobs's unexpected first-person tale of that Jet Blue flight that landed amid flames, and Tom Scocca's bowing to the inevitable and profiling Nick Denton.
