Meanwhile, out on the Campaign Trail ..........

[Stinky The Clown]

.... we have McCain yelling angrily, and with increasing desperation, at a crowd in Ohio, a state he was expected to have put away a while ago.

And we have Barack Obama so obviously enjoying the luxury of campaigning in North Carolina, a state where he was never expected to be competitive and where he is now ahead in most polls. And as he does it, he smiles, and jokes and listens and interacts and lets even the slack jaws have their say.

What a study in contrasts.
