since the Great Depression and Caribou Barbie spends valuable time talking about clothes with only 9 days left in the campaign. Worse, the wingnutty NY Post comes out with a story how Caribou and Granpa aren't getting along very well and that's sure to have a negative impact on the campaign because the radio gasbags will have to spend time trying to soft-pedal the conflict instead of pushing the idiotic "Obama is a Marxist" meme. BTW, I guess that means the Financial Times likes Marxists:

US presidential elections involve a fabulous expense of time, effort and money.

In our view, it is enough to be confident that Mr Obama is the right choice.

The challenges facing the next president will be extraordinary. We hesitate to wish it on anyone, but we hope that Mr Obama gets the job.
