#1 This is not an election on November 2. This is a restraining order.

Can that be the Snark of the Day? Go read his "Parliament of Whores" or "All the Troubles" in the World" if you want more.

#2 Peggy Noonan's Fri column in WSJ: This election is about one man, Barack Obama, who fairly or not represents the following: the status quo, Washington, leftism, Nancy Pelosi, Fannie and Freddie, and deficits in trillions, not billions.

Everyone who votes is going to be pretty much voting yay or nay on all of that. And nothing can change that story line now.

#3 I strongly disagree with Noonan. It is essential that this hopefully smashing defeat will be seen as an utter rejection of leftist ideas, not personalities.

Conservatives should do everything in their power to show this as a complete and unequivocal rejection of socialized medicine, big and intrusive, nanny state government, and in total, the Keynsian economics, social planning, coercive, perverse and corrupt everything of the left.

#4 Unfortunately Noonan's scribbling will be the "conventional wisdom".

#5 She;d get more respect if she spray painted her column on the walls of the White House.

#6 But she'd lose the President's respect - and that's more important.
