		<description><![CDATA[From the front page blurb for a NYTimes editorial:

The Next President
Barack Obama won the election because he saw what is wrong with this country: the utter failure of government to protect its citizens.
Given his votes on Illinois BAIPA, this is utter irony, don&#8217;t ya think?
Leave it to the New York Times to miss it completely.

I&#8217;ve read close to 1000 presidential polls will have been conducted in the final stretch after the conventions. That&#8217;s insane.
