Heading down the stretch

Since I took care of Friday-Saturday last night, it's time to take care of Sunday and Tuesday.

Midterms will decide the crucial states come 2008.

In Living with War, Neil Young praised Sen. Barack Obama as a potential contender come 2008.

In his latest album, Living With War, Young mentions Obama in the song "Lookin' for a Leader." In it, Young sings of America's need for a new leader, singing, "Yeah maybe it's Obama, but he thinks that he's too young."

The 44-year-old Obama said at a news conference before a fundraiser Saturday that he has read the lyrics. But despite being name-checked by a rock 'n' roll hall of famer, Obama said he has no intention of running for president in two years.

That doesn't mean Obama is dismissing Young completely: "I'm a big Neil Young fan," Obama said of the Canadian musician.

He and Young met in Chicago at last year's Farm Aid concert. Obama said he sat in a trailer while Young rehearsed the song Southern Man.

"The acoustics in a trailer are terrific. It was unbelievable...It was one of the best times that we've had since I was a senator," Obama said.

Well, maybe not in 2008 but eventually. There is no doubt that Obama has the potential to be a great leader and a future president.
