Unfortunately for McCain, whose understandably mirthless concession speech I nonetheless found both moving and magnanimous, neither Joe the Plumber, Tito the Builder, or even Cedric the Entertainer could obscure from voters the gimmicky, vacuous, divisive, erratic and insubstantial character of the self-professed “straight-talking maverick’s" long, strange trip down the presidential campaign trail.
Obama on the other hand, smartly avoided indulging in the "the silly season's," harvest of such political pitfalls, diversionary hijinks and "straight-talking" shenanigans. He instead submitted to voters a campaign that focused on specific issues and persuaded with cogent, well-formulated ideas. The result?
Black President!
