Senator Barack Obama

The Final Countdown

Today is a good day. The polls are outstanding -- and when I see these polls side-by-side with Palin's obscene clothing expenses and Congressman Hayes' "git 'er done!" remarks, I feel a great sense of satisfaction that these displays of slackjawed hypocrisy are being rejected by a majority of Americans. After eight years of this dark ride -- eight years of Larry the Cable Guy Politics (Larry is a fraud, too), it feels -- at least for now -- that we're nearing the end.
