Water off a duck's back

I was amazed today watching Obama literally - and quite obviously genuinely - laugh off everything the McCain camp is throwing at him. He really is preternaturally self-composed. It's deeply inspiring to watch. I know everyone wants to see him get rightfully righteous and in McCain's face, Huffington and more writing essays saying exactly that, but I think he realizes that's also what the McCain camp is trying to do, to get into his head before the debates, and he's just beyond giving them that satisfaction. Meanwhile, the press is starting to make a hash of the McCain campaign's non-stop blatant falsehoods and stupid accusations.

And after a fitful but intense night of sleeping and dreaming, I'd let it all go myself by this morning. Since the McCain camp really has gotten well beyond the point of self-parody, I guess the best thing is just to laugh at them, and realize that if the American people are actually going to fall for it again, honestly, after all of the last eight years, then... sigh...

I am going to start making my calls however, next week when we get back from NYC.
