Fancy, Fancy Footwork
Four years ago, when we picked our last president, "Dancing With The Stars" hadn't even aired yet. Thank goodness on the Wednesday after this election, the losing ticket (not shown above) will have the opportunity to humiliate themselves once again, this time with cell-phone voting.
Barack Obama urged supporters yesterday in Canton, Ohio not to let up in the last week before the election, as he referred to the January 2007 speech he made to kick off his campaign. (It seems so long ago...)
He speaks in Chester, Pennsylvania and Harrisonburg, Virginia today, but he's also coming to your living room: Almost a month ago, Obama made huge buys of half-hour chunks of primetime on NBC, CBS and Fox for what most believe to be a pre-taped campaign ad in the style of Ross Perot circa 1992. (Perot finished 3rd, but mounted the strongest third-party bid for Prez in 50 years.) It's a hard night for cynics: ABC, having waffled over selling to the Obama campaign and deciding too late, is counter-programming with its bright, dewy-eyed modern fairy tale "Pushing Daisies."
