Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius finally said what seems to be the unspoken elephant in the presidential campaign - that Barack Obama's race will be a factor for some voters on Election Day.

Sometimes I get frustrated with the media. It seems that the most important aspect of the presidential campaign is reporting the "horse race" aspect of it.

It was reported that 23,000 people showed up for a McCain/Palin rally in Fairfax, VA last week. That's a stunning number considering McCain was averaging far less than that in the "Triple-P" days ("Pre-Palin Pick").
