As John Kass of the Chicago Tribune points out, the media in 2008 devoted far more attention to a Vice-Presidential candidate's career in a small town in Alaska than to a Presidential candidate's career in the transportation hub of the United States.

The best antidote for the media miasma about the next President of the United States is ... my book, America's Half-Blood Prince: Barack Obama's "Story of Race and Inheritance," which you can buy here. I get a really nice cut of out of each book sold, so I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd pick up a copy or two.
