Obama's Message To America
Wow. That was powerful. Tonight America saw Barak Obama, not as the wild-eyed radical terrorist that the McCain campaign tries to paint him as, but as an earnest, likeable young man who wants to do right by this great country of ours.
Senate: looking ahead & party balance
The Democratic pickup in the Senate is looking bigger than first expected, but Republicans need not be too glum long term. If they return to more traditional conservative values, stop alienating moderates, and act honestly as a minority party, they will make a comeback. Otherwise another party WILL step in to fill in the void.
During the Debate last night, McCain said several times condescendingly that "Senator Obama does not understand. ...", "Senator Obama does not understand...", "Senator Obama does not understand..." Each time he said it I was annoyed. But what annoyed me even more was to hear after the Debate Democratic pundits, supporters of Obama, say they were disappointed that Obama did not answer McCain in kind. They do not understand Obama.
A Simple Solution
As our representatives wrangle over the Bush administration's proposed $700 billion bailout of Wall Street investment firms, I started wondering if there were any alternatives.
A Sea Of Whiteness
That was the first thing I noticed about John McCain's acceptance speech -- a sea of white people. I have never seen so many white people all in one place. I live in San Diego. But that wasn't the point of John McCain's speech. It was this: Did I mention I was a POW?
Sarah Palin Is A Russian Spy
She might be. Nobody knows. She was never vetted by the FBI. She might be indebted to the Alaskan mob for gambling losses. Who knows? Not John McCain.
The Spin-Talk Express: First stop Alaska
McCain is saying that his vetting process for his pick for Vice President was completely thorough (link) and that he was grateful for the results. Grateful for the results!? Really!? This has got to go down as the dumbest, pre-election blunder since Gary Hart's 'follow me' remark.
Dueling Tax Plans
My local rag did a comparison of Obama's and McCain's tax plans today. It's interesting to note that the middle class will do much better under a President Obama.
