Funny how the campaign was sealed up like a submarine, but the transistion is like a leaky boat. Obama's presser this morning at 10:40 is going to be like an afterthought.

GEORGETOWN, S.C.—Tiny wooden cabins line the dirt road once known as Slave Street as it winds its way through Friendfield Plantation.
More than 200 slaves lived in the whitewashed shacks in the early 1800s, and some of their descendants remained here for more than a century after the Civil War. The last tenants abandoned the hovels about three decades ago, and even they would have struggled to imagine a distant daughter of the plantation one day calling the White House home.
But a historical line can be drawn from these Low Country cabins to Michelle Obama, charting an American family's improbable journey through slavery, segregation, the civil rights movement and a historic presidential election.
Republicans continue to push the idea that this is a center-right country and that Americans have swooned for GOP anti-government posturing all these years, but the real electoral bait has been anger, recrimination and scapegoating. That's why John McCain kept describing Barack Obama as some sort of alien and why Palin, taking a page right out of the McCarthy playbook, kept pushing Obama's relationship with onetime radical William Ayers.
What's amazing is how many fall for their McCarthy antics.

Yeah, most of them think the only reason they lost this year is because McCain stopped them from going "full McCarthy."
They'll be dirtier than ever next time.

Yep... that's what I"m hearing at ground zero Oklahoma.
That and "Just wait until ya can't buy yer guns!"
Followed by my, "You're guns can't stop the government's directional microwaves that bake your insides and sound blasters that blow your ear drums out so just STFU!"

Gov. Sarah Palin is putting her conservative Republican fame to work in Georgia, stumping for Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, who is in a tough runoff for re-election.
I wonder if she knows the true measure of the man she is eagerly helping.
Chambliss was elected to the Senate in 2002 by running one of the most reprehensible campaigns of modern times. He was up against incumbent Democrat Sen. Max Cleland, a Vietnam War veteran who lost both legs and his right arm to a grenade during that conflict. "

'reprehensible' has no meaning to people like Palin.

Joe Scuzzborough is all gaga right now waiting for Sarah to speak in Georgia. One would almost think she had a brain.

Why do Republicans, like him, even have a show? This isn't a far right country? Republicans aren't the permanent majority. His sorry ass needs to be replaced.

The automakers are back? That should be entertaining! Did they bring along a comedian to introduce them?

We are hearing Sarah Palin live now:
Sarah just said, "Georgia you need to re-elect Saxby Chambliss to obstruct any kind of change Obama and those filfthy Democrats might bring!!!" in so many words.

As unflappable as Obama usually is, I still wonder how he's going to perform at his first turkey-pardoning. Maybe he can give his proxy to Biden.
