It's worrisome that the tracking polls show Obama and McCain so close right now. I guess Barack needs to have a sparring partner like Hillary and/or big rallies to really show off his stuff. But if the race truly remains close, Barack's veep choice will be more important than ever. At this point, it sort of seems as though the only "exciting" choice - as in, would fire up the electorate and the base, which has been stung of late by Obama's centrist moves - would be - sigh - - - Hillary. If only Bill had been different in his behaviors . . . I like what Dodd is trying to do right now with the mortgage crisis; the pundits are discussing guys I haven't even heard of before . . .
On your travels, Fair, did you even hear about what Jesse Jackson said when he thought his mic was off during a taping of something on FoxNews? Jesse was upset that Barack took off on absent black fathers, on Fathers Day, and he said, words to the effect - I'd like to remove his manhood! Jesse's son, Junior, had very harsh words for Dad, Barack accepted Jesse's apology and the talk shows had a field day (Jon and Stephen have been off for two weeks - they will probably come back to this story). I liked Jay Leno's bit the best - he said, it seems that Jesse has gotten to Barack, take a look at this - then they showed Obama giving some speech, but with the voice in a high falsetto!
You'll find this hard to believe, but I'm a bit of a Rafa Fan (as in, Rafael Nadal). I watched the Wimbleton Final, TiVo-ed and watched it again, and even finally figured out the arcane way tennis matches are scored! Off topic, I know, but what the hell -our audience is quite "specialized."
