While Nader's sour comments may have been poorly timed, his concerns about whether Obama might be too friendly with business interests have always been a worry to me. As president, Obama will have to represent everyone, not just the poor and hopefully he will take this country in a progressive direction in that regard. There are many areas that have been undermined by the Republican thugs, particularly the environment. Surely Obama will, if nothing else, drive this country in a sensible direction. He can't do everything all at once and he has inherited a mess. If the truth be known, I like where Nader stands on matters....it is very appealing to me but I find it extremely irritating that he always attacks Democrats more than he does Republicans at vulnerable times. At least that is how it seems to me.

The questioner on Fox struck me as very snarky, insulting, and rude. Right wingers hate Nader more than they do Obama. I suppose that is why the Fox interviewer sounded so outraged in this interview. He doesn't care a thing about Obama and his outrage is feigned and very hypocritical.

I will be watching the TV to some degree...however, I will be on the net like I have been for the last year searching for clues as to how this election is going. Worrying has dogged me but I hope to have wonderful news before the evening is out!

Obama has grown, yes, but I really like that second paragraph where he says, "I am running because of what Dr. King called 'the fierce urgency of now,' because I believe that there is such a thing as being too late. That hour is almost upon us." It is so eloquent.

I know that Obama and his supporters were very angry with Hillary and Bill Clinton when they challenged him, but here is a thought...Hillary had Obama face all the issues early on that could have sunk his candidacy if it were McCain to bring them up. Imagine Rev. Wright in October...McCain would pounce on it and stomp him over and over again and possibly Obama would not be able to recover at that late date. Moreover, consider the bitter remarks in Pennsylvania in the same light. All those issues are old news now...have been faced and bested and McCain's use of them is downright ineffective. The long campaign has given Americans time to get used to the idea of having Obama in the White House. Even the lack of experience argument falls on deaf ears...with all the campaigning, debating, and whatever, Obama now appears experienced because of all the exposure and testing he has been through month after month.

I am still scared about Tuesday...I will be devastated if Obama loses. This says something very good about Obama because I was an ardent Hillary supporter who vowed I'd never give to Obama's campaign. But guess who contributed when it got right down to it! May he win and win BIG!

There are so many right-wing fire breathers posting on this article. It has to be their final swipe at all of us who are fervently hoping for change in the sickness that has descended on America since Bush came into power. Never have I been more turned off and disgusted with Republican thinking, let alone Bush. It is amusing to read these misplaced comments; how naive they must be to waste their time like this.

I have not been impressed with Couric's interviews in total. She goes after people unfairly, blatantly characterizing them, their campaigns, etc. Not that I particularly care now, but when Couric interviewed all the candidates early on in the primaries, she singled out Edwards to give us something negative about himself whereas she had not done that to any of the other candidates on that particular evening. Obviously, Katie didn't like him and it showed. That is not unbiased news behavior, not that Edwards didn't deserve her dislike as we all later found out. Her interview of Elizabeth Dole and her Democratic opponent is another prime example. Katie had nothing but praise for Dole and practically insinuated that the Democrat was being mean and unfair in her campaign tactics. This is meddling, pure and simple.

Because I am completely partisan, I'm glad she exposed Palin's ignorance for everyone to see, but she has been chipping away at Obama this week with less than subtle insinuations that he is taking illegal contributions. All this without one specific incidence of illegal activity being cited...just vague suggestions even though McCain is doing the same thing. However, Obama’s haul is so much bigger than McCain’s, she couldn’t resist trying to level the playing field in my opinion. There was little doubt that Couric felt that Obama campaign contributor, "Doodad," was more suspect than the "anonymous" designation given by the McCain’s campaign to these same kinds of contributions.

At any rate, I don’t believe for one minute that Couric writes her own interviews or has any great input into news content. She is a mouthpiece for CBS and its editors who have their sights set on getting Fox’s viewers. They obviously court the right wing from time to time and I don’t believe it is going to work. Fox viewers will not accept anything but pure bias and CBS has not fallen so low, yet, to outright pander all the time.
