CHICAGO, Ill. -- Among the other voters who have shown up to vote at Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will vote: Louis Farrakhan and William Ayers.
Who cares?
Maybe people like Joe the Plumbish, who make decisions that affect the course of our country based on "logic" that equates a 3% marginal tax rate increase for quarter-millionaires with Chairman Mao, and a vociferous pledge of friendship and protection to Israel, with the imminent death of same. People who barely stay awake in church themselves, but suddenly care what someone else's preacher said while they weren't even there. People who will vote against their own tax cut, because it will mean the repeal of a tax cut for their boss's boss's boss's boss.
Ahhh, if only they could get the president they deserve, and we could get ours.

Our New Approach to Comments
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers –
a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
