DEVON GRANDY (New York, New York)

We were at Break Out The Oreos try not to get too preachy in our writing; we like to poke some fun, make our point, and pack it up. There are, however, times that merit the momentary suspension of wit in order to better communicate.

Tuesday. November Fourth. It’s Election Day.

But not a normal, run-of-the-mill, every-four-years kind of Election Day. After eight years of jaw-dropping, logic-defying, Constitution-shattering, reputation-destroying scandal upon Bush Administration scandal, America has the opportunity to elect the type of figure that appears only once in a generation. Barack Obama is a figure who transcends politics–his is not only the face of the current Democratic Party, but also that of a new political era: he is an integral part of what we hope will be a new politics, in which Democrats need not be consistently disappointed by their party’s lack of courage and neither party resorts to ignorance, lies, and pettiness to win an election.

So please: we won’t lecture our readership on “civic duty” because we know you’re smarter and better than that. But this one is different. Please go out on Tuesday and make Barack Obama our 44th President. He’s what America deserves.

Oh, and Election Day Countdown is still rolling until Tuesday. Check it out!

    Honestly, Obama is probably BETTER than America deserves. But I’d like to get him anyway, please.

    Also, thanks for the plug.
