YouTube - Victory Speech in South Carolina

Urkel's SC victory speech.
Like him or not, the man can spin a speech. Here's the whole magilla (17 minutes), in case you missed it.

Back in the early 60s, JFK and Barry Goldwater, who were good friends and were both decent human beings, had planned to conduct the 1964 election as more or less a joint campaign of whistle-stop politics without negative campaigning, thus allowing America to make a choice based on the men's sharp differentiation on the issues. Well, you know how that worked out. JFK was killed and was replaced by a man who was not such a decent human being, and who more or less invented the modern negative campaigning which has been with us ever since.

We idealistic old farts have a lot of nostalgia for that race that might have been. Is it possible that Obama and McCain would wager that clean race that almost every American would like to see?
