By the way, if you are either still looking for that last fix of Election season, or if you just love Behind-the-Scenes dirt, make sure you read Newsweek's scintillating seven-part Secrets of the Campaign, starting at Chapter 1.

The more I read it, the more I respect McCain, admire Obama, and feel sorry for Hillary for relying on incompetents.
