Obama's mischievous, aggressive election kick-off

By GottaLaff
That Obama, he's such a scamp:

Senior political officials tell Politico's Mike Allen that Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is likely to hold a huge rally Tuesday night in the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, the site of the Republican National Convention from Sept. 1 to 4.

Tuesday is the night of the final Democratic primaries, and the choice of venue is a mischievous, aggressive way for Obama to unofficially kick off the general election campaign against Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). The location gives huge meaning to the moment, with Obama likely to frame a tough case against his new opponent in the very hall where McCain will accept his party’s nomination.

For a brief moment, I got a little dizzy. I forgot what it was like to respect a candidate, especially one who has, you know, wit.
