The Sky is Falling (NOT)

By Zamboni

You see, Democrats, how quickly things can change?

Or not change. For the past several weeks — in fact, ever since John McCain signed over his campaign (and his soul) to the Bush-Rove acolytes — the Republicans have been pounding Senator Obama with intensely negative ads. And the media, desperate for something to talk about in August, have latched onto tightening national polls and a "nervous Democrats" storyline like Gus Grissom grabbing a life preserver from his sinking Apollo capsule.

Well, guess what? After all the crap that the Bush-McCain people have thrown at him, Senator Obama's lead in the Electoral College still hasn't budged. And the Electoral College, as we painfully know, is the only poll that matters.

As for things that can change, well, that's already happened. We always suspected that Senator McCain would do something stupid, and this one's a doozy. Not being sure how many houses he owns? That's what we call a real Milton Armitage moment, one that only a guy married to a skinny blonde beer heiress could have.

So, who understands the problems of average Americans in this tough economy better? The guy who's not sure how much real estate he has? Or the guy who was raised by a single mother and his grandparents, who had to make his own way in the world? You be the judge!
