Four more weeks of this?

McCain and Palin (or should I say Palin and McCain?) must be deep in the pit of despair. Obama is moving solidly ahead in electoral votes. McCain must be huffing and puffing from all his jumping from one side to the other on primary issues. Palin avoided putting both feet in her mouth in the Biden debate (where she wowed millions with her well-memorized talking points and those winks and smiles that distracted from her evasion of the more difficult questions) only to find that she hasn't gained ground beyond the blindly-faithful "base."

So now the Dysfunctional Duo seems to be abandoning debate about Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan and even the global economic meltdown, as they dance their way to the point of totally absurdity. They whine that Obama has achieved nothing. Their surrogates, like today's uniformed South Florida sheriff loudly putting down Barack HUSSEIN Obama, imply that he is connected to Middle Eastern fanatics. (Hussein was his grandfather's name; it is an ancient Semitic word that means "blessing.")

Then today, sweet Sarah reached rock bottom with her proclamation that Obama is the buddy of a domestic terrorist.

How many times can they say "Obama" and "terrorist" in the same paragraph in the 28 days remaining before the election?

It going to be a very nauseous month.
