As I stated before his best speech will be his concession speech.

I plan to vote for Senator Obama, actually. But the choice of Palin has given me pause. I'm surprised that it has only inspired cynicism in you.

Joy at the choice of Palin? Why so critical of her, then?

She seems like a fresh face with boundless energy and her heart in the right place. Certainly more hopeful than tired old Joe Biden, a thirty-five year veteran of the sameold sameold....

I grew up in the 40s and 50s when people took high ideals and the belief that America could do anything for granted. Now days such belief is just mocked and people honestly seem to believe that the idea is "I got mine and to heck with you" is the American way. This is so sad. I hope it is not to late.
1953 was the start of the movement that gave us both Al-Qaeda and the neoconservatives.

The American way is supposed to be about personal freedoms with as little government influence on us as possible. Those looking for a leader don't really understand the foundations of our country or what we should stand for.

Because one of the reasons friends/co-workers told me they were voting for McCain was that he has "experience", but those same people have told me that they are more scared of Palin taking over as president than Barack Obama. I think most undecideds will feel this way.

I had to laugh at the guy on Fox who said, "This is one of those speeches where you remember where you were when you heard it." *snort* Yeah...uh...okay. However you work things on your planet.

Lol...we'll see.

We can certainly see Senator McCain's judgment on public display.
