This is a new humorous anthem to Barack from one "Clint Travis W. "Doobie" McWhitebrooks". Darn good singer-songwriting I think, thought only this crowd could truly appreciate the artistry behind the clip.

In a similar vein, reported from the canvassing in Pennsylvania at www.FiveThirtyEight.com,
a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"

Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

More on that quote from the canvassing:

"In this economy, racism is officially a luxury. How is John McCain going to win if he can't win those voters? John Murtha's "racist" western Pennsylvania district, where this story takes place, is some of the roughest turf in the nation. But Barack Obama is on the ground and making inroads due to unusually strong organizing leadership."

Who said community organizing wasn't real experience?
Obama has been better organized at the grassroots level because of his understanding of community organizing. Way to go, Barry.

If I had a vote, it would be for 'that one' - unfortunately declining to swear allegiance to the flag after over 30 years of living here gets in the way...........

Alice that 538 quote was a big hit in my house when I spotted the article earlier today.

Both the song and the story give me hope that the discontent the Republicans are raising at rallys won't flame over after the election.
