Staying Calm and Composed in the face of the Ugly McCain/Palin Desperate Onslaught may just do it for him. Don't Expect the Republicans to go hide under a Bridge though. (too dangerous considering the state of America's Infrastructure) But seriously, they will start on Day 1 trying to make Obama into a Jimmy Carter. It's our task to see that Obama becomes another FDR. RUCerious,
