...believe that little green men from Mars with big silver spaceships will land in New Jersey, of all places. We're too smart, for example, to be fooled by telephone calls suggesting that John McCain illegitimately fathered a black child; too smart to be fooled by emails claiming Barack Obama is a secret Muslim. Too smart...
...potential to throw him off course. One of those things is his running mate. Sticking to a script has never been one of Biden's stronger suits, as he demonstrated recently at a Seattle fund raiser.

"But they got a shock with Obama, and I see it also with the young Palestinians." And although he says he disagrees with Barack Obama's politics, particularly on maintaining an undivided Jerusalem, Abukeshek says he is encouraged by the influence the presidential candidate's online campaign has had. "The way he uses the internet to reach groups that have not been involved in the political process before, and with such success is an inspiration...
