    Yeah, I'm in Colorado, and I can't turn on the television without seeing a campaign ad. Makes me nauseous.

        I have a brother in Colorado and a sister in Ohio. I'll have to call them up on Nov. 1st and ask them how their TVs are working.

          I thought McCain did a good job on the speech especially considering that is not his forte'.

          I wonder if he actually believes what he says............

                That was basically the main reason I listened to hear specifics to see if he would govern as McCain 2000 or McCain 2008. Unfortunately it was pretty thin on facts.

                  I don't think that any state should consider itself safe from a barrage of ads.

                  A big thing on election day will the the ground game. The Obama people showed how well they can run a ground campaign when they beat Hillary (all that stupid and useless community organizing "experience") Chosing Palin helped McCain light a fire under some of the evangelical foot soldiers that have been so critical to Republicans in the last two presidential elections, but I think Obama's ground forces are better prepared, and will have more money to scrape votes together in November.

                        Probably right. Still, I think that the bulk of the barrage will be reserved for the swing states.

                          We expect a light treatment in Illinois.
                          I always have to laugh because even if my wife didn't neutralize my vote every time, it's been a long time since a repug carried Illinois, and even when it happens, the dems still get the electoral votes, so I seem to just be wasting my time. (president wise anyway)
                          It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                                The truth?

                                It would be a huge step towards saying that blacks and whites were equal in the US. This is good for everyone, for one thing, there are some african americans who blame their position on their race and might not do as much as they could to change it. Also, it would inspire african americans and other racial groups that they are equal partners in the US.

                                Note a woman would probably do the same, but the sex relations doesn't have near as many problems in the non-muslim US compared to race relations.
