This campaign is making me irrational.

For example, I want to scream at undecided voters. Really? You can't decide? It isn't as if there aren't clearly articulated differences between the two major-party candidates. If you don't like those choices, there are also other candidates--that Ron Paul fellow seems to be popular in some sets, and there is always that ass, Nader. While I am not actually suggesting tests at the polls, the number of undecided voters makes me think that some people are just too dumb to vote.

BUT. I am so glad that the Obama campaign handled McCain's crap from yesterday well--I was biting my nails. And this is funny:

" 'Obviously if it turns out that we need to be in Washington, we've both got big planes, we've painted our slogan on the side of them," Obama also said. "They can get us from Washington to Mississippi pretty quickly.' "

I hope that the McCain gambit--transparent though it may be--doesn't play with the voters, either.

Yes, undecided voters are sort a vaguely annoying persistent presence- luckily, living on a college campus, there aren't very many of them...

Best headline regarding that from Fark, "Old white man runs in fear from black man asking for change."

That was my favorite, too! I repeated it ALL WEEKEND.
