Across the country, Barack Obama's supporters registered voters as part of our 50 state voter registration drive, "Vote for Change."

which is why Obama is doing so well . . .

McCain does not represent change . . . Clinton does not represent change . . . Obama has positioned himself as the candidate of change, and is reaping the benefits of this strategic decision . . .

whether Obama can (or even wants to) actually bring about significant change remains to be seen . . . but he has a good chance of winning the election because, more than anything, America wants change -- and that's his campaign theme . . .

the caution, of course, is that it's not who votes that counts; it's who counts the votes . . . Obama could get significantly more votes than McCain and still lose the election, as long as Republican corporations are in charge of tabulating the results . . . they did it in 2000, they did it in 2004, and you can be damned sure they're going to try to do it in 2008 . . .

they have the means . . . they have the motive . . . they have the opportunity . . . the only question is -- will the election be close enough to enable them to manipulate enough votes in enough key districts in enough key states? . . .

unfortunately, it probably will . . .
