Wait... what?

Can you source that? Or is your mind just made-up without the facts?

damm! i thought he was killed!...you really need to think about your thread titles.

I also wanted to add that I am very impressed with CNN's handling of this. Currently on Larry King Live, they have two Republican's on giving detailed criticisms of Obama's speech.

This is a far cry from what I'd expect to see on Fox News after a McCain speech. Possibly a spineless nobody would defend the liberals, but he would be told to shut up after 5 seconds by O'Reilly, rendering him useless.

They talked about whether Obama could really raise the money necessary to do the things he talked about in the speech. They also criticized him for attacking McCain (since he is supposed to be above that). Also, they talked about Obama saying McCain voted with the Bush Administration (that most of the votes were on small issues, not big ones).

Not that I necessarily agree, but I was impressed that CNN would do that. Fox is far from unbiased and rarely gives any intelligent rebuttal to the typical Republican onslaught and I was glad to see that CNN still upholds some journalistic integrity.

Be interesting to see if McCain can say something decent about Obama

He sure can, but the timing is wrong. Right now it would play into the Democrats hands if McCain said something warm and fuzzy about Obama right after their convention. Has Obama taken the chance while grandstanding to say something decent about McCain? If he did, do you think the media would cover it? The MSM only covers the negatives.

Thanks for clarifying that, I don't usually hang out on the more populated board .

One last thing before I fall asleep here:

Whether you like it or not, One Jan. 20th, 2009, John McCain or Barrack Obama will be President of the United States. My reasons personally for this, much based off of what happened at the DNC are:

1. We don't need 4 more years of republican agenda, you had your chance, pass the torch

2. Joe Biden. In a time where diplomacy is critical, he will be a invaluable asset to the United States.

3. Barrack Obama: He isn't perfect, but we need some one we can all at least all agree on.

4. We need a Democrat, not a Republican to spur this coming economy boom.... possibly

5. Again, the people like him, I know many steady Republicans that could at least live with Barrack Obama as president, can't say that the other way around though.

Thanks for listening,

Never know....Obama could be one of those that had some questionable positions on his voting record but then again... Sometimes you have to play the game to jockey yourself into position where you can right wrongs.

I can tell you one thing for sure. No presidential ticket has moved me to tears and restored a bit of hope like he and bidens son did. No not one. Before... I fell into the category of...They are all corrupt, another empty promise, Obama sounds alot like Osama so the ones that rule behind the scenes are messing with our heads, the gay dude that came out and accused Obama of gay sex and cocaine in a limo..all of it ran through my head

Possible truth of the matter
Poor cowboy oil mafia fear this guy is probably the real truth...The european families arent too sure what to make of it or what he might do but they know they cant go with McCain...Is he with us or is he with the commoner. Will he go against the will of the order like Kennedy did or can we buy him like we did all the others?

Interesting times indeed
