We can imagine a presidential election where the candidates' policy positions and visions for the country are so similar that we could all afford to slow our pace and rubberneck our way past the Sarah Palin tabloid train wreck. We could debate whether she ought to stay in Alaska and raise her family and we could sort out which criticisms of her are sexist and why. We could try to fight a hopeless battle against what my sister calls "scandal inflation" -- when there are so many objectionable aspects to someone's candidacy that the "value" of each scandalous aspect is significantly reduced. With all due respect to Ralph Nader, this is not such an election. Rarely, if ever, have the differences between the Republican and the Democratic choice been more stark. And the republicans are doing everything they can to distract our attention from these differences.

If I were Obama...here's what I would add to my March 4 victory speech:

There are a couple of things that I need to set straight for some of you out there. The people that like the Bush administration's disastrous foreign policy decisions want to continue peddling in fear by attacking my faith and my love for this country. This is wrong and unacceptable.
