Senator Barack Obama’s bus rattles through the black-rock hills of rural Pennsylvania [...] In Lancaster, Mr. Obama, talked to a woman in tears because disability had left her impoverished, then fielded a question from an impatient fellow convinced that the secret world government was about to impose the Amero, a joint American-Mexican-Canadian currency. Mr. Obama explained that he could not do anything about the Amero because, alas, it did not exist.

At times, the candidate can feel himself soaking in a bath of lunacy. “You’re going to slip up,” Mr. Obama told one crowd in what amounted to a temporary-insanity plea for himself and his rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. “You know you’re going to say something goofy.” [...] “My economic plan is better than my bowling.”
