Today's Good Sign

The Obama campaign and its accomplices in the media and polling businesses have done their best to sell the idea that Obama's election is a fait accompli. However, their actions tell a different story. Here is today's good sign that this election is a lot closer than they want you to believe:
DES MOINES, Iowa - Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama returns to Iowa on Friday where he'll headline a midday rally in Des Moines.
If polls could be believed then Sen. Obama wouldn't waste any precious time in these last few days in a state he seemingly has in the bag. Sen. McCain has never been especially popular in Iowa due to his stance against ethanol subsidies. Iowa neighbors Obama's state of Illinois and his victory in their caucuses early in the primary race gave him much needed credibility. If he is nervous about Iowa I'm feeling better about the whole game.

Separately, instead of in a clear plastic bag, this morning our newspaper came in a bag that said in large print:
