See, I see it as opposite. He seems IMHO, pretty nuetral. So, when he placed his stamp of approval on the speech I exhaled.

D -- For what it's worth, I don't agree with all of Obama's ideas myself. Ideologically he is way too moderate for me. Ideologically I am a flaming crazy-a** radical beyond most people's imaginings.

But I am finding that ideas/ideology aren't as important to me as I have thought. It's kind of shocking to me actually. And I am only saying this about myself -- specific to my own perceptions and life experiences/

Anyway. D, as long as you are clear and thoughtful and solid and okay in yourself in how you cast your vote and why, I myself personally would support what you choose to do with your vote -- whatever it is. (this is kind of why I would suck at trying to convince people to vote how I wish they would, but that's where I'm at).

Thank you for answering my question.

I'm neutral, at this point.

I don't agree with all of Obama's ideas, and I'll have to reconcile that before I can say I'll vote for him.

But I see in him a chance to find a common ground....and that might be a chance worth taking.

Found this in the comments section at Ta-Nehisi Coates' blog:

Looking at the scene with Barack, Michelle and the girls waving to the crowd, I was touched. As a black man, a husband and a father. And when he turned from the crowd to give his boo a squeeze he whispered something to her and she sort of swooned. I hope he said, "Girl, you betta stop playin' and have those chirren in bed by the time I get back to the hotel. Don't be fakin' like you sleep, neither. I'm the Commander-in-Chief up in herre, and, baby, don't forget the pumps." LOL.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA

hilarious.

"If you don't have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone who people should run from."

Obama just showed his hand. He has no record, and thus will hope that running against Bush by linking him to McCain will be enough. We shall see.

They prayed for rain and drummed up a hurricane - evil bastards.

I couldn't take my eyes away this whole primary season. It felt like something amazing was about to happen - like this world was never going to be the same, and I had to pay attention.

A change gone come.

Yes, they did put that on their website for people to pray for rain. They took it down after there was an outcry...said it was humour.

The Republicans may cancel their convention and hold it on a smaller level town hall style. Fineman said Barack hurt them tonight. They can't match what he did and they are not even going to try.

Keith just brought up something. Is the RNC really thinking about postponing their convention due to the hurricane? If so, he mentioned the irony of Paster Dobson praying for rain on Obama's big night.

Now, I was checking the weather in Denver everyday, but if this is true...hhhmmmm....

LOL.

That's what Ben Stein is whining about....Obama is just a typical Chicago politician.
