Time: Why Barack Obama is Winning.  The gist is that he usually takes time to think things through but has good instincts when he has to think on his feet, and that he's been steady and reliable but also aware of when something isn't working and capable of changing course.

The summary:

Quote
He has done this by introducing a quality to American politics that we haven't seen in quite some time: maturity. He is undoubtedly as ego-driven as everyone else seeking the highest office — perhaps more so, given his race, his name and his lack of experience. But he has not been childishly egomaniacal, in contrast to our recent baby-boomer Presidents — or petulant, in contrast to his opponent. He does not seem needy. He seems a grown-up, in a nation that badly needs some adult supervision.

So he's winning because he's a good leader.

A bold new direction for America, here.

Contrasting Barack to past campaign successes is a little bit of apples to apples there.  What's more important is what Obama's doing right versus Gore and Kerry (and technically Dole and Bush, but their biggest mistakes were basically running against Bill Clinton).  I wouldn't categorize either of the past failures as "childish", per se... Kerry was a douche, but he was a grown-up kind of douche, and Gore never even displayed any desires or emotion, much less let them get out of control.

I think the main thing is that Barack comes off as a real, genuine Mister Smith kind of politician, even if we all know he's not that idealistic or when we disagree with his values.  People truly, generally are willing to place their trust in the guy, which is something that nobody in American politics has warranted since... long before any of us were born.  Clinton maybe got 50%, but he betrayed that whenever he could.  Point is, I've never heard this race described as "The Lesser of Two Evils" or anything like that - it's pretty black and white now.  And, er, we like the black.

That's actually kind of comforting just based on how completely retarded their entire plan was.

Seriously, that was the most frivolous, ill-setup murder spree I've ever heard concieved.

What I want to know is how such a cute looking lesbian like Daniel Cowart got to be mixed up in the skinhead subculture.

Probably due to her freakishly disproportionate right arm.

Was there actually a plan to be foiled, or just a document saying "Let's drive around and kill a bunch of black people"?

I mean, fuck, Harris and Klebold's version of the plan at least couldn't be defeated by the rising cost of oil.

Obama caught on tape talking about the debates. (No audio, only text)

Quote
So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I fucking changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."

I really wonder what he had to say about the last debate with Clinton.

The stronger you punch, the better the door. So there are like super strong murderers who punch people into Venetian doors and shit"

Seriously.

Sometimes I wonder if someone slipped some Kool-Aid into my Kool-Aid, if you know what I mean.

MSNBC/The New Yorker: it's time to cast off the stigma attached to Obama's middle name; it's part of the multicultural identity that makes him such an inspiring face for America.

As Tom Tomorrow noted in the first panel of his 6/10 strip, this is something that would have been unbelievable even five years ago.

President Barack Hussein Obama -- we can say that with pride.
