Here we go! Before we dive in, we're only $95 away from our $3000 fundraising goal for the day. Also, I'm in the process of setting up a Cafe Press store for those of you wondering about that. 'Morning Awesome' coffee mugs will be one of the items.

Senator Obama comments on a phenomenon we've been discussing here.
“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told me. “If I were watching Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me, right? Because the way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?"
