Obama-Biden 2008 -- clearly positioning as the working class candidates. As well they should. That is where their feet are firmly planted, per Abraham Lincoln.
I don't think you're going to find either of these guys standin' up in front of a fancy-schmantzy Wall Street dinner and sayin' some may call you the haves and the have-mores, I call you my base....
Nor making sport of hunting for WMDs under the desk in the Oval Office.
Nor trying to either figure out how many homes you have...or how many you have to hide.
The reckoning, Joe Biden said in Springfield today, is here.
And Obama-Biden are a formidable team to be reckoned with in the last nine weeks of this campaign.
Reckon the rest of us need to lend 'em a hand. It's our fight, too.

Meet the Pres
.
Wednesday's press conference with Barack Obama was a perfect example of a campaign team at the top of its game.
Consider if you will, a president who gives thoughtful, reasoned answers to difficult questions.
.....Barbeque sauce, sir, hot and tangy or original recipe?
Or a president who does not hide behind a press secretary whose sole function is to obfuscate and obliterate those oh-so-nuisance questions and answers while he Deciderates with his gut and the chip on his shoulder.
.....Iraq or Iran, sir, one bomb-bomb-bom...or two?
Yes, just imagine.
Which I imagine those people who saw even a portion of Obama's meet with the press yesterday, an extended press conference [carried live on CNN...] on challenging issues, not always giving the answers I would have hoped for, but yet.... responding in detail to reporters' questions on wide-ranging topics from the economy to urban crime thru the lens of cities like Chicago to the war. Thoughtful answers, reasoned, and with a comfort factor that the country will be in good hands led by Obama.
I can see this guy as the Pres.
Expect to see a regular series of these news conferences in upcoming months, because that's really what Wednesday's press event was all about.

This Is Our Moment
.
For all of us, children of immigrants whether one, two, three or more generations back, who are in this land because of its promise, Barack Obama's win—and it was a win—marks a new moment of promise.
All the rest, today, is dissonant clutter.
