Gibbs to be White House Press Secretary
Robert Gibbs, communication director for the Obama campaign, is going to be the White House Press Secretary. Gibbs was communications director for Obama’s Senate campaign and in his Senate office. This isn’t a surprise and he’ll probably be pretty good at his job.

Obama unoffical winner in North Carolina
The News & Observer calls the unofficial win for Obama in North Carolina. The state still has some provisional ballots to count. Historically, the provisional ballots widen the leader’s gap. Results will be certified on Dec. 1, but the state is allowed to declare an unofficial winner.
North Carolina has 15 electoral votes moving Obama’s total to 364.

Fox News reports that McCain campaign says Palin is a joke and totally unqualified to be VP and they knew it. If this is remotely accurate then “Country First” was just words.
The most interesting tidbit is that Randy Scheunemann, neo-con extraordinaire, was fired for leaking information on the tension. Seems that he was trying to protect Palin. Randy may have been smitten.
Update: According to Fox News, Barack Obama’s September rise in the polls started after the Katie Couric Charlie Gibson interview with Palin and not 4 days later with the start of the economic crisis. Wow!
Update 2: Cameron on O’Reilly giving a similar story, but a bit more detail. She didn’t know that Africa was a continent and not a country. Surreal.
This is political malpractice. If Steve Schmidt was responsible for the pick I can’t imagine why anyone would hire him again.

“I voted for John McCain because I admire him immensely as a person, and agree with him on many more issues than I do with Senator Obama. And I ask a rhetorical question: Can we McCain voters, without embarrassment, shed a tear of patriotic joy about the historic significance of what just happened? And I offer a short, rhetorical answer.
Yes, we can.
”
— Mike Potemra, conservative blogger at National Review Online. Yes you can.
