President-elect Obama's team needs to keep our new leader from making the sort of speech he made Saturday, Nov. 22.

His weekly address this past Saturday, on the formation of his economic team, presented via YouTube, was--in a word--weak. Just take a look:

I am as eager as the next person to know the results of tonight's presidential election, but also know that I should restrain my intense interest. In principle, I oppose early projections in any state until all the polls across the entire nation are closed.

An ad attacking Sen. Obama, apparently just released, convincingly fakes Obama's voice, with him saying he is against various conventional defense systems. The ad was running Monday and election eve on CNN. It comes from a group called letfreedomring.com.

Sarah Palin joined SNL tonight and proved, once again, that John McCain lacked judgment in having her on his ticket, while also unwise not to veto her SNL appearance. In isolation, Palin's very brief moments were not, in themselves, the problem. The problem was largely contextual.

In the 1960s, the so-called "guru of media," Marshall McLuhan, dubbed television the "cool medium." He used the "hot-cool medium" distinction to explain why and how John Kennedy won the presidency and in particular, beat Richard Nixon in the very first presidential debate in history.
