Man, that girl in Joplin must be something if you're going there instead of Vashon Island. I love Washington, and the sea there. What the dolphin said. Follow your heart, dude. It's treated you pretty well this year, eh? Obama's right. It's not about him, not remotely, it's about you.

Des, in your comments about Obama's approach to Clinton, you have struck upon the thing about Obama that I generally love. He is downright ellptical in his path to a thought or an outcome. He is not a ditherer, but he considers and digests broadly. He's not a ruler-outer in that way. He is the antithesis of Bush's incuriousness. With that professorial side, he isn't going to dumb down his explanations to the American people of what he's doing. He trusts his listeners intellectually perhaps more than he should, but surely as much as anyone in recent American politics. I love that.

Also, you left out my favorite basketball idiom for O, the southpaw. Like any left-handed basketballer, what do we know about Obama? He'll always fake right, but drive left. I've waited all year to use that line out of the fear it would fall into enemy hands. :)

Don't Stop, for the Clintons.

I Love a Man in a Uniform, by Gang of Four, for irony.

Stop the Rock, by Apollo 440. Imagine it as Stop Barack/Can't Stop Barack, and it's amazing. It should be his theme, seriously.

... and We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions, for the reference to sports championship elation
