Politics and Culture

CNN here.

1. I know what you're thinking and no, Obama didn't text message me by mistake asking for advice.

2. Apparently, Obama is trying to prove that a Democrat- if sufficiently inane and bone-headed- can lose in a "change" election.

3. This is a gift to McCain and Republicans. For talk shows, this is Christmas (Hanukkah, for Prager and Medved), their birthday, and winning the lottery all rolled up into one.

4. To Garaghty's excellent summation, I'll add that he won't deliver any states to Obama.

5. I guess we can expect a "clean" campaign.

5. Seriously, I like Biden. He's not a nutty socialist. He's a goofball in a good way. I think if I were a politician, I'd most closely resemble Biden in style with all of the inappropriate jokes and laid backness. I remember in one of the debates, I asked myself, "Is this guy drunk?"

6. And, no: I don't think he's a racist.

7. The whole texting thing was dumb, reinforcing Obama's celebrity image. If Obama supporters were so interested, wouldn't they just have checked the news every once in a while?
