Obama stuff

When you see Bob "The Prince of Darkness" Novak driving down the streets of DC in his drop-top black Corvette, get the hell out of the way! But when you see his column in the paper, read it! This column is particularly interesting: for all of Obama's overseas hype and his strong campaign abilities, he really isn't blowing McCain away. And that may be all McCain needs to back into the White House.
From the Washington Post.

Interesting article on Obama's efforts to increase the black vote. I applaud the effort, but I hope he doesn't spend too many valuable resources trying to win southern states. He should definitely shoot for Virginia, but going after the Deep South may be a pipe dream. Best to leave the long term efforts, me thinks, to Dean and the 50 state strategy.
