obama-this-200.jpgBlog Guy, I just don’t see how candidates pay for campaigns these days. It’s so expensive!

Well, as you know I get most of my news from seeing photos and guessing what’s going on. But it looks to me like they’re getting into product endorsements.

This scene has the feel of a classic infomercial, where the woman tells Barack Obama this gizmo can prevent decay. At first he’s like skeptical, but then he caves in and says he’s going to brush every day now andby the way, you can get the Ginsu Knives if you act quickly. Operators are standing by.

Coming tomorrow: John McCain demonstrates his George Foreman Grill…
