If Obama wins, it will put an end to the most fun I've had in a campaign. Whatever will websites like politicalsatire.com do? And Stewart and Colbert? Oh well...I guess I will forgo the humor in order not to have a mad woman in the White House. [At least this election.] I take it Kirby’s comment is in jest.

I was so much looking for Americans to put Sarah Palin in the White House. Instead it looks like you've all gone and got serious and introspective, with no more John Wayne style lunatics running the show. This is all very disappointing.

I recall in 1960 that there were some people who would not vote for JFK because he was Catholic. He was elected and nobody pays much attention to that issue anymore.

If the presidential race pitted, say, Alan Keyes against Ted Kennedy, there's no question that the right wing would turn out in droves for Keyes. …14 percent still said most people they knew would not vote for a black presidential candidate…
