Slate.com has a clever and crafty video that brings voters up to speed on the last two weeks of the presidential campaign, which, blessedly, comes to a close on Tuesday (Nov. 4). “The Power Recap” condenses the final weeks of the campaign into two minutes. It’s all here: Obama’s connection to William Ayers, who co-founderd the radical left organization the Weather Underground; accusations that Obama is going to peddle socialist policies (I thought the Treasury Department had taken care of that with the Bailout Plan); Joe the Plumber (who’s 15 minutes of fame are just about to run its course); Sarah Palin’s hunt for “small-town” America (and her ample budget for wardrobe); John McCain’s mea culpa for cancelling an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and McCain’s insistence to NBC’s Tom Brokaw that he will win the White House (despite all of the electoral math being in Obama’s favor). Whew. What in heaven’s name are political junkies going to do come Wednesday morning? Remember to vote! It’s not a privilege. It’s a duty.
