One of the great all time albums by The Who. But more to the point, given the almost regular implosions we've been seeing among Republican governors since Obama took office, it's something I can't help wondering about since Sarah Palin's bizarre resignation yesterday. Who's Next to go down in flames?

The same GOP that brought you the Bridge to Nowhere; massive, exploding budget deficits; unprecedented levels of congressional pork; Duke Cunningham; the Abramoff scandal; billions of dollars disappearing into the black hole of Iraq, and a no-strings attached giveaway of $700 billion dollars to banks, CEOs and corporations for use funding corporate retreats, office redesigns, bonus for execs who lost billions, and new foreign-made corporate jets; and tax giveaways to the richest 1% of Americans now brings us a list of "waste" in the Democratic stimulus package designed to get our economy out of the ditch they drove it into.

All the wailing & gnashing of teeth about Obama's meeting with the Republicans & his (relatively minor) concessions reminds me of the freaking out that took place over the summer. Why isn't Obama being more aggressive? Why isn't he responding to McCain's attacks? Why didn't he name Hillary VP? OMG we're doomed!!!!!!!!

Well, we all know how that turned out.

"I'm voting for Obama!"

Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I made phone calls on behalf of a political campaign. In the past, I've always donated to and voted for Democrats, but have never taken the final step of volunteering. Sometimes it was because personal circumstances made it difficult. Sometimes it was because I was not sufficiently inspired by a candidate. But most of all it was because, as a rather shy person by nature, I didn't feel comfortable telephoning strangers or knocking on their doors.

Imagine the outrage in certain segments of the Right--Rush Limbaugh, Fox Noise, the WSJ editorial page--if they learned that the administration and faculty of a university were not only pressuring their students to register to vote, but that they were leaning on them to register to vote from their campus address in a swing state. Imagine the charges about "tenured radicals" and "liberal indoctrination" that would ensue if it were learned that professors, with the administration's apparent complicity, were offering students extra-credit for registering and voting. And imagine the calls for investigations that would rain down from on high at the news that students were being encouraged, nay pressured, to vote for a particular candidate. Imagine the protests if the University's chancellor sent out a mass email proclaiming that

"Our 11,000 students and 4,000 faculty and staff could cause our school to become known as the university that elected a president!"

How many times tonight did McCain say, "I've been to <insert far-flung locale here>" or "I've spent time with <obscure foreign leader here>" to try to show everyone how much more experienced and knowledgeable he is about foreign affairs? He even ended with his whole "I'm ready on day one" schtick.

Really, I lost count.

All along, I've had Sept. 26th circled on my electoral calendar. Even when Obama was running behind in the polls after the Republican convention and people were starting to panic (remember that? how long ago does that seem?), I always felt Sept. 26th would be the turning point in the election. I guess I was off by a few days...

Let's see, in a week where Barack Obama stops John McCain's momentum in its tracks, takes the lead in every single tracking poll, moves ahead in key states and within striking distance in McCain must-win states like Virginia and North Carolina, there can only be one clear winner for the week.

John McCain.

Steal their lines and their ideas. This must be the new McCain campaign strategy.

Sarah Palin today tried to explain just how a McCain / Palin administration would change DC. I quoth CNN:

“We’re going to do a few new things also,” she said at a rally in Cedar Rapids. “For instance, as Alaska’s governor, I put the government’s checkbook online so that people can see where their money’s going. We’ll bring that kind of transparency, that responsibility, and accountability back. We’re going to bring that back to D.C.”

There’s just one problem with proposing to put the federal checkbook online – somebody’s already done it. His name is Barack Obama.

CNN is reporting that Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday.

It sounds bad. And we all know the media will eat this up--all the better to revive the whole PUMA story line. But reading the story, I'm tempted to believe that the staff of The Onion has hacked into the CNN website.

The McCain campaign has been whining all week about Barack's use of the old saying "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Well, I say we put the lip rouge to good use.

Lost amidst the commentary about Sarah Palin's "deer-in-the-headlights" performance in her interview with Charlie Gibson last night is the fact that the Alaska Governor and Republican nominee for Vice-President dismissed the very rationale behind John McCain's candidacy and implicitly endorsed Barack Obama's campaign to give America the change it so desperately needs.
