Two notes from this week:
First off, I was thrilled to see our side actually play one right, for once. McCain, asked how many houses he owns, muttered that he'd have to consult his assistants; they came back with "at least four", which is of course technically true. Obama smelled blood in the water and struck; McCain's people came back with a weak-ass -- dare I say it, Democrat Party Style response: "...sure, Obama only has one house, but it was financed by money from a guy who blah BLAH BLAH BORING BORING ZZZZZZZZZ." So for the first time in recorded history, the Democrats have the interesting, concise storyline and the Republicans have the long-winded counter that nobody understands. Let's see how we screw this one up.
In other news this week, Obama selected Joe Biden as his VP, presumably because Biden helpfully pointed out that Obama is "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy" who doesn't shout "motherfucker, I want more iced tea!" (Oh wait, that last one was someone else.)
