It really works: here is Stanley Fish blogging about the similarities between
the Son in Paradise Regain'd and Obama when faced with insults.

Stanley is careful not to suggest that McCain is Satan (besides, the demons
have been cast out of Sarah Palin, right?), but Obama's cool resistance to
the temptation of anger is remarkably similar to the Son's resistance to
Satan's spurious, dancing arguments.
