I thought we had seen the end of these bogus stories with the end of the presidential campaign season. It seems as though the Associated Press is all too happy to act as a mouthpiece for the Republican party's vile smears.

The headline this morning:

Analysis: Scandal Threatens to Dog Obama

I stumbled on this Youtube video this afternoon. It was posted under 3 weeks ago, and it already has over 7,000,000 views. Even the dramatic chipmunk didn't go viral that fast. A lot of people are watching this, and it's helping McCain big-time.

Hit the jump for the video.

I just received a text message from the Obama campaign only minutes ago asking me to donate to the Red Cross. I, like millions of Americans, signed up to be notified via text when Barack chose his vice presidential nominee. I have received several texts since then, one of which reminding me to tune in for his acceptance speech last Thursday. The fact that he is using this tool to make a positive impact and help the victims of the hurricane is a twofold blessing: it will provide direct relief for the victims of this catastrophe, and it will make a great headline in the news tonight.

The significance of the actual system of text messaging go much farther than this, though - I am thrilled about this new system for a several reasons.

Tonight, we all had the fortune to witness one of America's greatest presidential candidates deliver one of America's finest speeches. It was stirring, moving, uplifting, and filled me with a kind of hope for the future of this nation that I've never felt in my young life.

He detailed a vision for the the future that makes me want to get out there and stand in line to vote tonight. He even hit McCain, harder than he ever has, beating the old man to the point where I don't see how any rational human being can even consider voting for him at this point.

What separated this speech from all his others in my mind, though, is what my staunch conservative father had to say after Obama wrapped it all up.

As I'm writing this, I'm bracing myself for a wave of flaming comments, but SOMEBODY has to say something!

Call me a cold, callous bastard. Maybe I'm just overly cynical already at age 23. Maybe if one of these things happened to me, I'd see things differently, but when I come to the Daily Kos, I'm looking to talk about politics and how to push the progressive agenda forward. I'm just getting tired of seeing the same kind of overly-sentimental diary being put on the Rec List every day.

Like most of you, I was furious yesterday with the FISA bill being passed in the House. I was, to say the least, disappointed with Barack Obama's response and apparent capitulation with the rest of the Democratic leadership over the issue of the warrantless wiretaps. I read angry diaries on Kos written by people swearing to abandon future support for Obama, or declaring that they would be voting "against John McCain" rather than "for Barack Obama."

Then I remembered why I support him in the first place.

Today's been a pretty serious day, what with the FISA bill in Congress and all. We're all looking to Obama to see what he will do, and I think some of us are looking inside ourselves to understand what kind of politician we were expecting and what kind of politician Barack is going to be.

That being said, I thought you guys could use a laugh today.

I've been an Obama supporter for a long time. As much as I admired Kucinich's courage and integrity, and Edwards' commitment to fighting poverty and taking on big business, Obama struck me as an important and inspirational figure, one that can unite this nation, and I believe that his presidency will move the country into a great new direction. His candidacy has fueled a grass-roots movement that is getting Americans from all walks of life involved in politics in a fundamental way, one that is necessary for a democracy to thrive.

However, despite all of his positives, I have had misgivings about Barack Obama that I was afraid would not be addressed. Ralph Nader's very presence in the debate, however, might just bring of few of these issues to the surface.

The Huffington Post triumphantly announced Obama's victory over Hillary Clinton and the symbolic end of her campaign on Wednesday with an article entitled "Obama Vs McCain." While I was thrilled that the primary race is finally winding down and that it appears that our candidate Barack Obama will be the nominee, I also understood that we are going to be fighting a battle on two fronts - one versus the Republican John McCain, and the other against the powerful forces of ignorance in this country.
