John McCain's unprecedentedly ugly speech today

The increasingly petty and ugly attacks on Barack Obama by a desperate, dying movement are a microcosm of the last eight years.

    There is hope!

    I was truly disappointed in 2000 because I felt the right-wing nuts just screwed over the dems. I couldn't vote for Kerry because I just couldn't vote for a guy who was repeating the same mistakes made in 2000. He was being trashed and he just took it! Not very presidential.

    This year things appear different. Keith and Rachel were great tonight. I read Joe Klein and became enthused! I always read GG and can't understand why the whole world doesn't because he makes so much sense. Kristol and Hannerty and Buchanan and Broder just seemed stupid today!

    The web site set up by the Obama campaign to expose the Keating scandal and the 13 minute ad were great. It seems that the dems are fighting back, and with fervor.

    If only the democratic congress could muster up some courage. OK, I know that's an impossibility but one can hope, can't I?
