1. I'm disappointed to see the McCain campaign try to score cheap political points by insinuating that Obama is a socialist. There is no term more abused nor less understood by the hard-core Republican base. But for McCain to make such an accusation after he had just signed off on a 700 billion dollar federal bailout is just loony. To be sure, Obama's economic policy is leftward of McCain's. But to accuse him of being a socialist is like a guy with 7 houses telling a guy with 8 houses that he ought to live more modestly.
2. I can't think of too many ways the reasons for my support of Obama's candidacy differ from the extremely articulate and thoughtful endorsement offered this morning by Colin Powell on Meet the Press. WMD debacle aside, here's hoping that there's a place in the Obama administration for a man as talented and eloquent as Powell.
