Even though reality may be different for many of us, there is a make-believe marketing world where, when you’re shopping for a mortgage, lenders compete and you-the-borrower win.
Some venerable Senators were recently found living in this make-believe world. Now it turns out that Barack Obama also benefited from unusual competition amongst lenders:

(1) What they tell us
AP:
People would rather barbecue burgers with Barack Obama than with John McCain.
While many are still deciding who should be president, by 52 percent to 45 percent they would prefer having Obama than McCain to their summer cookout, according to an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll released Wednesday.
And just in case you prefer […]
AP: Obama to expand Bush’s faith based programs
Reaching out to evangelical voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is announcing plans to expand President Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — support some ability to hire and fire based on faith.

He also planned […]
Clark email:
There are many important issues in this Presidential election, clearly one of the most important issues is national security and keeping the American people safe. In my opinion, protecting the American people is the most important duty of our next President. I have made comments in the past about John McCain’s service and I […]
Once upon a time, it was common to regard Bill Clinton as an adult. It’s pretty hard to do so these days, especially, when you read stuff like this:

Soon you may not even be able to tell them apart:
In Nov. 2007, the Chicago Tribune reported that Sen.

Barack Obama has been the subject of some unfair criticism over the promise he made last fall, when campaign spokesman Bill Burton offered this crystal-clear statement:
To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.”
People have accused him of going back on his word, because now […]
Rapper The Game (a.k.a. Teh Ghey) is getting Obama’s face tattooed on his back. I’m guessing it’s because he’s a big fan of telco immunity. Either way, this is a very negative leading indicator.
If you’re keeping score at home, it’s The Game and Leon vs DMX. I think you all know where […]
Both Matt and I raised the question today: where the hell is Barack Obama as the Democratic House and Senate leadership prepares to once again bravely cave in to Bush on the FISA and telecom immunity issue?
