As you all know, I was no fan of Obama's during the primary. Not only was I a diehard Hillary fan, but Obama, on his own, independently of my enthusiasm for Hillary, quite frankly left me cold as an Alaskan Winter. I actually and strongly believed that he was the one democrat that had a chance of losing to McCain -- who I thought was the one republican who had a chance of winning the Presidency after 8 years of our Republican nightmare.

But events have proven me wrong. Obama is kicking butt and McCain is seriously cruisin' for a bruisin' -- a real paper tiger, that guy is turning out to be. I'm still vastly admire Hillary and still think she should be on the ticket. But hey, with a democratic landslide coming, which will give us control of both Houses and the Presidency, that's small potatoes. Hillary will have her moments in the legislative sun.

I know it's not over and that a month is an eternity in politics -- I mean look at where we were a month ago. But there is no way we lose this thing now unless we just give it away. They are in no position to take it from us. Period. And I though I think part of it is due to the shape of the playing field -- what with a worldwide economic collapse and all happening right in the middle of the most intense part of the campaign -- I also have to admit that Obama and his team have played the hand they have been given about as masterfully as it could be played.

So let's go folks! Let's kick some repugnant butt and have a helluva good time doing it.
