Last week, I reported on Obama’s radiant, mesmerizing, slightly spittled High Definition look as he accepted the Democratic nomination for president.

Note to John McCain’s beautician: Strike fast with the promotional tie-ins. How quickly can you pump out the McCain/Palin age-reversing foundation / ass-kicking lipstick box set?
