Congratulations, President-Elect Barack Obama
Here’s to the people’s choice!
You betcha’!
I particularly like the inclusion of Baby Trig into the costume!

Barack Obama mocks Joe The Plumber, Audience Laughs…
Obama sure is a condecending little twerp, huh?
Barry Obama was on the campaign trail, and one of his lines on the stump is to dismiss Joe The Plumber. Indeed the snarky media is working overtime to discredit Joe - after all, he is just the kind of working class fella that dems consistently tell us they fight for! So they should keep their mouth shut, know their place, and follow the leader, right Barry?
The fact is, Obama was stung by that little exchange the other day. He picked the guy from a crowd to speak with him. This wasn’t a McCain plant or anything ornery. Obama was just confronted on his policies and was caught flat footed.
After all, how dare a laborer disagree with him?
And back to the clip, just what does that audience find so funny about being a plumber? Again, liberals will tell you they are for ‘the little guy’ until they are blue in the face, but ultimately they are an obnoxious, condescending bunch.

I don’t know if Revoltin’ Joe Biden can’t count or can’t spell…
It doesn’t really matter, really. He looks like a buffoon no matter what he says or does!
Anyone can make a flub, but Biden does make flubbing up a habit! And gee, do you think of Sarah Palin made the same gaffe, the media would just overlook it, or would it become late-night tv fodder for a week?

Republicans have cause to be disappointed by last night: As everyone says, Obama wins by not losing. He looks more and more as if he’s already the president, while McCain prowling the stage seeking to “connect” looks more and more like Yosemite Sam after the dynamite* failed to go off.
Nevertheless.
Before everyone succumbs to a terminal case of inevitabilititis, it’s worth remembering we’ve been here before. In the last months of the primary campaign, the press kept assuring Hillary fans that Obama’s victory was inevitable and the shriller the media Obamaboppers got, the more bluecollar Dems sat on their hands. In the end all the King’s horses and all the King’s men had to drag the guy across the finish line. You couldn’t replay his spectacular victory in slow-motion because it was already slower than any slo-mo technology ever invented.
So we already know there’s a huge disconnect between the unstoppable Messianic force promoted by the media and the cooler appraisal by actual voters. What’s happened since primary season? The Iraq surge (McCain’s unique selling point) is a victim of its own success and has dwindled away to an irrelevant footnote, and the front pages are full of a supposed economic catastrophe which the crude rules of politics suggest any fool should be able to hang on the incumbent.
Yet Obama still can’t open up a solid lead. After all, why would record numbers of viewers watch the vice-presidential debate if the election’s already over?
Meanwhile, the supposedly damaged Republican brand is proving suprisingly resilient. I see one of the two New Hampshire seats that flipped blue in ‘06 may return to the red fold next month. Where’s the blowout?
(*A lot of the dynamite is well past its sell-by date: Two references last night to Ronald Reagan negotiating with Tip O’Neill. No one remembers who Tip O’Neill is. McCain might as well have been evoking misty watercolor mem’ries of Talleyrand at the Congress of Vienna. Obama, by contrast, is all future - which is understandable, given his past.)
[UPDATE: A reader responds:
Listen, Mark, sunny side up is fine but this one is over easy.]
Voters in Harlem, NY are complete morons
Evidently, the Colt 45 flows freely in the streets of Harlem, NY
Howard Stern took to the streets to see just what the voters in New York City had to think. He found numerous Obama supporters uptown in Harlem, who evidently had no idea what they were talking about. To be fair, he found one McCain supporter who was comparably clueless, too!
My personal favorite interview is the Harlem woman who insists that Obama had more facts & information and spoke well (not in so many words), but then proceeds to misstate several of Obama’s positions with conviction!

Victor Davis Hanson on The Hugh Hewitt Show
A Two Hour Expanded Conversation with VDH!
Well, those that know me know that I am a huge fan of classicist Victor Davis Hanson, one of the genuinely brightest minds of our time! He visits The Hugh Hewitt Show now and thenand his insights are always appreciated! Well, Hugh talked him into an expanded interview on Wednesday, October 8, 2008, and it was fascinating!
Hugh’s conversation with Mr. Hanson covers the state of the 2008 campaign, the state of the world, the state of the war against radical Islam, and the state of the culture war here in America. It took up 2 hours of radio time but the commercials have been removed so each part runs about 35 minutes, for a toal of 70 minutes of Hanson wisdom!
