It has come to this--the red baiting and the nastiness of the McCain/Palin campaign, in desperation to get Jewish support, is now baiting and bad-mouthing a notable Palestinian-American historian, Rashid Khalidi, for his and his wife's friendship with Obama. The Khalidi's know Obama from their time in Hyde Park, when Rashid was a professor at the University of Chicago.
Just read an amazing list of stats in Hollywood Reporter-worth listing here:
Obama's 30-minute primetime infomercial was seen by 33.6 million viewers across seven networks -- including CBS, NBC, Fox, Univision, MSNBC, BET, and TV One. That's 70% more people than watched the conclusion of the World Series last night on Fox (19.8 million). B&C: An appearance by Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart delivered the highest rating in the program's history.
Last night I had the luck to have a visit to New Mexico to see my cousins and uncle in Albuquerque with a trip by Obama to the state and we went to the rally at the UNM campus with 40,000 others. New Mexico is one of the few states still in play and it's being heavily visited by both Reps and Dems. McCain was here earlier in the day yesterday and could barely muster 1000 at the New Mexico State Fair. What was most interesting for me, though, was the festive atmosphere for Obama--mostly young people and hawkers selling buttons and t-shirts as at a rock festival. What happens on November 5 to this energy?
