A "Change" Election?

You should really read Michael Tomasky's piece in Guardian America. While I'm at it, you should really check out Guardian America period, as its far superior to the great majority of the MSM. A small sample (regarding the 2008 elections):
It has genuinely impressive candidates. It has a grand theme. It's really, meaningfully, about something. It may result in a woman or, perhaps more incredibly still, a black person being the president of the United States. Or, if not one of them - this is footnote-ish by contrast, but still quite interesting - maybe, then, the oldest person ever elected president, a man who would, if he served two full terms, have 80 candles to blow out on his last White House birthday cake.
I can't stress enough how true this is. I like how Tomasky points out that St. John McCain will be the oldest....president....ever! BTW, I call him St. John McCain, son of God, heir to the throne of the Lord, because of how the media fawn over him. While I find age discrimination to be abhorrent, do we really want a 900 year old president!?!
