Therapy for Obama Supporters

Has this week been one of mild anxiety for you, as it has been for me? Have you been wondering why the Obama campaign has been doing NOTHING to counter the Sarah Palin phantasmagoria, and thinking that each ticking minute is a minute towards certain loss on November 4? Well, relax. My friend Fuz, from Dubai, sent me this bit of good cheer from the New York Times' OpEd section. There's a couple of things that the writer, Gail Collins, says that I find comforting. One, that the Obama campaign is indeed doing things, but in the swing states, not in states like Illinois where we are considered to have voted already. And the second thing I find mysteriously comforting is her observation that both sides are convinced they are going to lose. Oh, good.

If that wasn't enough therapy for you, try some Deepak Chopra. I'm kidding! Actually, no, I'm not. As irritating and as cringe-worthy as the man is, he's also apparently capable of some surprises; here's his take on Obama and the Palin effect. Voila! The healing power of Deepak Chopra!
