What got under you skin there Nippon5?

Where does it say the announcer is "Obama's guy"?

I don't see other on the board quoting you and laughing their asses off at you "amazingly funny statement".

so so so so so so?

You decide to attack me for questioning you?

coulrophobic,

Board members crossing paths when they attend board meetings. How odd!

The debate was pretty average but it's difficult not to think that John McCain has really had his day. He could even remember World War II as he would have been 8 or 9 years old when it ended. He is just too stiff and still looks like a traumatized soldier. I don't blame him for being a bit messed up from what he experienced and even though he is softly spoken, I sense a short temper that is dying to get out. He served his country well and people are proud of that service. This doesn't mean he should be president with the keys to the nuclear arsenal. He still waffles on about his captivity in Vietnam which must have been terrible, but I'm all for moving away from the Vietnam connections. Every president since the Vietnam War has had to explain his position and/or contribution to Vietnam but, finally, there is a chance to move on from that with Barack Obama. He was too young to have been involved. Obama certainly isn't perfect but he's much more eloquent and charismatic than McCain. His running mate, Biden, seems to have been a good pick but McCain's choice of Palin was a terrible one. She really is quite embarrassing. Although eloquence and charisma aren't the most important things when in office, they are certainly important qualities that help a nominee win people over (Bush Jr. being an exception here. He just had the numbers fudged). If McCain wins, it almost feels like it won't be the beginning of the end, more like the end of the beginning of the end! We would then move into even scarier times. Finally, I totally agree with Obama that dialog with dodgy countries is always better than ignoring them or bombing them and hoping they'll fade away. Communication is vital for all humans in order to try to understand one another.

Change 2008:

Forget Ayers, Palin is the true radical here. With the public's distrust of Gov at an all time high and people taking their money out of banks and stuffing their mattresses I expect Palin to win and Obama to take a backseat (aka driving Mrs. Daisy)

Get the geezers out of Washington and enact term limits.

Yes, some folks here are simply terrified at the prospect that Barack Obama will preside over a competent, ethical and effectice administration.

Oop...that's "effective."

I thought candidate mccain did OK in the debate. However, so did Sen. Obama. mccain did get a day and a half bump in the polls, most likely because of it. However, that's gone and Sen. Obama, now, according to RealClearPolitics.com, has enough electoral votes (not counting the toss-up states) to win the election.
With the toss-up states, it's a rout. Honestly, I believe when mccain was saddled with palin, he lost any and all chance of winning.

Ah-h-h-h....vote..err..oh..voter purging.

It's both. The swing states have started purging democratic voters from their files. just as time to register runs out.

Dirty tricks have started already. < :-)

Take a look at what John McCain would continue, even after they said they quit. < :-)

Republicans are so desperate, now they are trying to link Barack to the late Palestinian leader Arafat

Whatever you want to feel is ok, If you think your SO was just a normal question and you not trying to be a smartass then so be it. How do you make the mistake of calling your VP Candidate by the President candidates name from the other party?

Here is the part in the story where it says the Campaign (which we know is an Obama rally so its his supporter)

**The campaign volunteer had just finished more than four minutes as the podium, firing up a crowd of 3,500 in Tampa before the announcer **

If this happened the other way this board would be light up like a christmas tree on the 24th of December....But because this board is has a ton more Left side then center and right side they dont laugh when their team makes a mistake, if it was the McCain camp that did this I would be laughing my ass off too...cause all this political BS is worthless and if you cant laugh at it you would have to cry because of its such a waste of time and money... any more questions?

SO

That would be why its Obamas Guy!
