Up to my ass in alligators

I'm under fierce deadline pressure right now, so I'm afraid I may be dark for a bit.

Meanwhile, just a thought for the day. By now, everybody who is not a blithering idiot (and half the people who are) has already decided how to vote in November. Therefore, the campaign will be fought over the votes of blithering idiots. And obviously, Senator Obama has a disadvantage with that particular -- and depressingly large -- segment of the electorate.

That's why the campaign is what it is. They aren't talking to you.
