only six days left...

only six days left.

I am watching Obama's 30 minute ad...and I have goosebumps. We will save this country...and change the world. He said it and I believe. And I am not one bit ashamed to be having a spiritual moment of hope that we return to sanity after 8 ugly years in the bleakest, harshest desert ever whipped up by misbegotten power.

Thank you Mrs. Obama. We owe you.

Some undecideds definitely decided tonight. It was a powerful message that put real faces on the hardship the Supreme Jackass and his cohorts have created. And those faces likely looked pretty familiar to a lot of people still looking for a reason not to avoid voting for Obama.

All McPalin has is whining and petty attacks. And very transparent crap that is masquerading as policy.

Yes, it was good, moving, intelligent, empathetic and hopeful...and it was focused at the right people...and I believe they were watching.

@BobbyG... right there with you on that drapes thing. Keep up the good work. And thanks for what you are doing.

than for policy advisors, I find Tucker Bound's comments a little...shall we say...laughable.

And sadly predictable. There is just no grace on the right.

Early in the campaign, there were radio interviews released wherein Palin was being interviewed by Alaska radio "journalists" of the Sean Hannity variety. There was no substance...the boys made ruthless fun of Palin's opponent's weight, contrasting her with Palin's hotness while Palin cackled gleefully at every slur.

In the phony "Sarkozy" call, she laughs at the statement that "taking a life" is so much fun. So true, and thank goodness the President of France gets it!

That's the real Sarah Palin.

Too bad there are more relevant important pieces of information to get out there to the voters...wouldn't a nice shot of beautiful, but blasted and bloodied, dead animal carcasses with Palin superimposed, with a voice over cut from just that portion ..."talking a life is so much fun" and Sarah's charming laugh....be a nice portrait of her soul?

That these people feel an entitlement to rape and disfigure the landscape and kill majestic wildlife for fun seems so incongruous with all of their Jesus jabber and save-the-babies outrage.

Am I the only one?

As Gov.Ed Rendell said..."Philadelphia Freedom". Reaffirmed. Big night. I plan to worry little and drink lots (but not after sufficient time to drive sober) among passionate, hardworking, relieved, like-minded high-fiving, tearfully hugging people.

After which, I will go home, crawl into my bed and get the first decent night's sleep I have had in two years.

a Rahm Emanuel fan...

but given the description in this post of his passion and ferocity...I am glad to see that Obama is hitting the ground running, and giving the impression that he will surround himself with fighters and strong players. He can't afford bland complaisance on his staff.

Go Mr. President-elect!!

You are absolutely right. As long as the right (and too much of the left) continue to believe that Clinton's "sins" are serious transgressions against us all, rather than personal bad judgement, the chickens will not come home to roost for Bush and Cheney.

It's time this country was able to separate personal or extreme religious views from the measure of national relevance. A perceived crime against their own moral "values" is not the same as a crime against the laws of the United States.

In Arkansas, they have passed a ban on unmarried people fostering or adopting children. The children don't matter. The enforcement of one group's misplaced moral outrage does, apparently.

That's the barometer of choice for way too many Americans. People like Dowd should not be reinforcing it.

He played the game, high-stakes style, and the American people called his bluff. Now Harry Reid should have the integrity to toss him out of the game. For us.

He can't sit at our table anymore.

And I have to laugh at the poker metaphor, but I can't imagine what the hell else he was thinking. Jerk.

No.

Republicans go for the throat in broad daylight. Democrats want to hold hands and work things out.

Thankfully we (millions of us) are so pissed that it didn't work this time. That's how Kerry lost the election, wussing around in a gentlemanly way while he was being Swift-boated into oblivion.

I say, no more. If Harry Reid can't do the job, I'm with those posters who suggest Hillary would put on the gloves (although even there I'm a little afraid of an overabundance of concilation) Better yet, let Rahm Emanuel offer to sit in and give Reid constructive advice on how to kick the bony little senator's ass out of the Democratic Caucus.

I am shocked to find myself in this state of mind, but that's what 2000, 2004, and 2008 will do to you. Take off the blinders Democrats, and put the gloves on. The wolves are already convening their own caucus. Someone needs to be out there watching Obama's back while he gets the time and space to set things right. And having one of them in your own camp isn't prudent or reasonable.

Wake up Harry.

short of his family, of course (or maybe not)...and perhaps Mitch McConnell

who ISN"T sick to death of Lieberman?
