Powerline squeezes some juice from a transcript of Obama's love-fest with the AP:
And I've now campaigned in 47 states, actively. And I think South Dakota is the last state that I have not had a campaign event in.
Now that doesn't mean that I expect that I will win all 50 -- or 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii -- all 50 states.
Fifty it is! And people wonder whether he is ready to be President...
At least B_O acknowledges 48 states (more than the folks at Absolut Vodka acknowledge). :-))

Powerline also has come up with this beaut on Obama, courtesy of Dylan and "Desolation Row":
"They're spoonfeeding Casanova
To get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
After poisoning him with words."
Just words.

You know DoT...
The answers to all of life's questions can probably be found in the catalog of Bob Dylan.

So, it's settled then.
Arugula is just a territory.

Strange that he wouldn't have hit South Dakota by now, considering Tom Daschle is advising him. Surely Tom has a couple of fans left in SD? No?

Wow, Does this mean that if Obama gets elected, up here in Alaska we can just pretend to not be a part of the country? Works for me.
Whats funny is that after living up here for 15 years, about every 2 or 3 years or so, while calling the lower 48 to order some product, we'll be told by the operator stuff like, "We only ship to America", and my personal favorite, "What kind of money do you guys use in your country?"
Anyhow, rest assured, just like the rest of you guys, we have kids at McDonalds that can't make change either and...uhh oh, gotta' go...out my igloo I can see a Polar bear drowning...Later.

Lovefest with the AP. They called him Obama bin Laden.
McCain was given a standing ovation.
Lovefest? You and the bloated gasbags of Powerlineblog are liars and shills.
