U.S. Constitution: Amendment 28?

“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States.”

Turn Maine Blue irony

According to the BDN:

McCain’s campaign announced its committee, Maine Veterans for McCain, through a press release issued Monday. The Obama for America campaign responded by holding an event Wednesday afternoon at Davenport Park in Bangor to announce its equivalent, Maine Veterans for Change.

Or did the campaign set up an “un”official “committee” which turned around and endorsed the campaign by which it was established? I’m so confused by all the extravagance and nuance staged to create the illusion of a meaningful election.

Chris Matthews insults own audience

On a side note, “New Yorker” editor David Remnick states (5:38) that the ideas of Obama being “insufficiently patriotic” and his wife being a “60’s style revolutionary” are “nonsense”. Too bad.
