No Joke..

What's the Yiddish word? Chutzpah?

Democrat Barack Obama made a rare foray to the press section of his campaign plane early Tuesday -- election day -- to thank reporters for accompanying him on his grueling 21-month ride.

"It's been a good long ride with all of you," the Illinois senator said. "Whatever happens tomorrow (Tuesday) it's going to be extraordinary and you guys have shared this process with us."

Apparently the reporters from the Dallas Morning News, Washington Times and New York Post weren't around to report on that touching moment after Obama canceled their grueling rides a few days prematurely.
