...That was, no doubt, the politic answer. But not the correct one. Obama was underestimating the public's capacity to hear the truth - which is odd, since the national desire for substance, the unwillingness to be diverted by "lipstick on a pig" trivialities, has been so striking in this campaign. Everyone knows this recession is going to hurt, that there will be a price for our profligacy and that some hard shoveling will be necessary to get out of this hole. Indeed, that knowledge is what has made Obama's success possible. But if he wants to do more than...
While we may not all be able to lock lips with celebrities, sometimes the next best thing is a lipstick mark... or in this case, a used wine glass. Our very own Nicholas A.

By choosing Sarah Palin, he lit a grass fire of GOP enthusiasm but risked undermining his ticket's claim of having greater experience and putting "country first." By attacking Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment, the campaign clearly established itself as willing to engage in frivolous, small-ball distractions, a disposition that served McCain poorly when he pivoted and tried to portray himself as a sober statesman willing to halt his campaign to deal with the nation's financial meltdown. Most...
...stuff as well. Palin should leave the overcooked hockey metaphors in the penalty box, lest we hear some clunker about the "puck" of reform smashing through the good-ol'-boy goalies of D.C.'s terrible status quo. And both will need to avoid the unintended subtext blunder (see "pig, lipstick...
