I'll grant you the Post has been out there in support of Obama before, but this article is just choice!!!

How to Sweep an Accusation Under the Rug

By Al Kamen
Monday, August 16, 2004; Page A15

And now, the winners in the In the Loop Carpetbagger Deflector contest. This was to help our Gaithersburg neighbor and new Illinois GOP Senate candidate, Alan Keyes, come up with a deft sound bite to overcome allegations that he is a carpetbagger.

He also needed a hand parrying churlish critics who dredged up his old criticism of carpetbagging Illinoisan Hillary Rodham Clinton when she ran for the Senate from New York. It was a "destruction of federalism," he said, that he certainly would not "imitate."

The hundreds of e-mail entries -- including several dozen from Illinoisans -- generally grouped around a few themes: Polish sausage vs. crab cakes; Abraham Lincoln's being from Kentucky; Clinton; Osama and Obama; locks and "Keyes"; and spending time at O'Hare.

Our judges, Metropolitan Editor Robert Barnes and Reliable Source star Anne Schroeder, helped cull the entries, all certain to put this hypocrisy silliness to rest, down to the following winners in no particular order..."

The winners are CHOICE!!! You have GOT to read this one!

Keyes is not supported by the African American voters plus he's getting nailed in the national press for being (gasp!) a carpetbagger.

Ya gotta love it.

1. Keyes is just too easy of a target
It's like shooting dairy cows with a high powered rifle and calling it sport.
