    We haven't talked yet. I suspect she'll say it's sad that he ends a noble section on service with a swipe at Obama.

    If McCain didn't sell out to the Christian Taliban during the last 8 years, this choice would have been a no brainer for me. I liked McCain second to Hillary because I believe both are pragmatist, but I just don't trust what McCain would actually do anymore.

    And now Obama is saying the same thing too. They all say they want Change. Until we have a viable third party Candidate, things are going to be the same!

    I agree, but I would rather the Dems control both the House, the Senate and the Presidency to give them a chance to right the ship.

    Because if there is a split it is gridlock and nothing will get done.

    I want the Patriot act repealed, I want all of Bush's BS security measures tossed and put our freedoms back in place.

    I have always liked McCain voted for him in the 2000 primary...but getting Palin and her being only a heartbeat away and so narrow minded.....no way would I risk it.

    Interesting - does that mean Sarah Palin, who's speech was basically just partisan attacks, is going to Washington to work for herself?

    ROCKET RICH, the idea that "things won't change" is blown out of the water by the last 28 years.

    Were things different between the Clinton era to the Bush era? Policies, priorities, appointments, international policy, economics? Any single thing? Every single thing.

    edit: that said, I'm all for a viable third, and fourth, and fifth party!

    And Obama stole many of his talking points from George's speech that year as well.

    Whatever.

    The only difference is Obama has already run a different kind of campaign, and shown himself to be different throughout his primary and even general election campaign.

    There are good politicians that run bad campaigns and there are bad politcians that ran great campaigns.
