Henceforth — any day when Democrats appear poised to make history and rewrite the rules of electoral politics shall be a “Jay loves a capella day.” Because if you can’t have some extra love in your heart today… you might as well be Dick Cheney!

The mainstream media just might learn something.

The campaign’s latest accidental celebrity now has his own attack ad. At this point I think it’s safe to say he’s all crack, no plumber.
