well, Nez, only a few days of the electoral torture left, and while I cannot say I have a great deal of interest in any of McCain’s grab bag of shiny positions on the issues, I empathize with him and Obama and all the candidates that ran for the Highest Office.
The whole extremely long drawn out event {two years plus} is not an appropriate way to get to the bottom of who should lead. You say that we still have to do the vetting, and I agree, and if after two years we have to say that, something is very wrong.
The campaigns have to be compressed and have to be made to extract the essence of the candidates, the electoral college should be dumped, the Democratic and the Republican and the third party nomination processes must be examined in detail and aligned, and the circus aspects of a very serious process must be minimized.
OK, I’m done now. Is there anyone out there that can pump up this message and get it considered at a wider level?

Gee, thanks a lot, sweetleaf. And, thanks for forgiving the misspellings — oops!

your first descriptive paragraph would make a great piece of political art…:)
i’m glad it is over. the debate seemed to be all about obama anyway. obama talked about obama, and mccain talked about obama. mccain, not having any definitive policy to stand on his own merit – could not articulate anything, let alone his strong points. mccain reminded me of a criminal being questioned; trying to distract from his screw up(S), and/or inability to prove his own strength of character, by (trying to) make obama look bad. only mcfake couldn’t do it.
it is refreshing to have in senator obama, the really perfect fit of a desirable profile, for president of this country. this is a quality that has, for too long been absent, in our leaders.

It was a pitiful sight to see the old man look so angry and desperate, with eyes a’poping, deep ferverent sighs and sniffing back snot so loudly for all to hear! Yes, it was a pitiful sight. An implosion seemed eminent.

Obama really had to tap down his own anger and did it brilliantly. Each time McCain attacked, Obama merely got calmer, taking a couple of sips of the water sitting beside him. His game was on!
