obamamania

he raised $150 million in september alone, and the republicans are freaking out---all of a sudden they are all about campaign finance reform, 'cause it just kills them to see the democrats, for once, out-raising and out-spending their sorry asses----

plus every newspaper in the country is endorsing him, from the houston chronicle to the salt lake tribune to the chicago tribune, which had never endorsed a democrat for president in its 150 year history---e&p has the endorsements at 62 for obama vs. 18 for mccain---the salt lake paper, there in the middle of all those crazy mormons, was especially direct:

Then, out of nowhere, and without proper vetting, the impetuous McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. She quickly proved grievously underequipped to step into the presidency should McCain, at 72 and with a history of health problems, die in office. More than any single factor, McCain's bad judgment in choosing the inarticulate, insular and ethically challenged Palin disqualifies him for the presidency.

Still, we have compelling reasons for endorsing Obama on his merits alone. Under the most intense scrutiny and attacks from both parties, Obama has shown the temperament, judgment, intellect and political acumen that are essential in a president that would lead the United States out of the crises created by President Bush, a complicit Congress and our own apathy.
