      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Now that the voters have blown up the jury-rigged pack of ballot measures that were supposed to solve the budget crisis, we return you to our regularly scheduled catastrophe.  Voters of all stripes, and all regions, combined to throw out Measures A-E and to overwhelmingly support the punitive Measure F.  All 58 counties voted no on the first 5, and all 58 voted yes on F.  So the good news is that we are united!]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Senator Arlen Specter (PA), has switched parties, announcing that he is now a Democrat.  This rocks the political world.  With Al Franken likely to be seated in June, the Democrats would have 60 seats in the Senate.  Landing right after the 100 day mark in the Obama presidency, it has an additional punch.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So far, I think Obama has done a tremendous job as president.  He has now gotten two hugely important bills through Congress, the stimulus package and the budget, and has made signal efforts to open up stem-cell research and to overturn various ill-advised Bush orders and policies.  He is already on track to be the most successful Democratic president in domestic policy since Lyndon Johnson.]]></content:encoded>

Right away the McCain campaign shot back that Obama is "playing the race card."  Gee, think they were ready with that no matter what Obama said?]]></content:encoded>
