To me, and it is just my opinion, the dems have been falling apart the last few days and if they don't get it together soon, Obama can go back to being a senator.

Well, whoever wins this election will have a moment in history that cannot ever be repeated - a first is always first! Its kinda sad that women have been "real citizens" with the right to vote since the '20s and African-American males have had the right to vote and have been full citizens even longer and this is the first that we are guaranteed to have one of these folks representing us in the highest 2 positions in the land.

Good thing about this - If your candidate doesn't win and you're stuck with the other person OR if your candidate doesn't measure up to your expectations, we can all take comfort in the fact that we've elected poorly qualified candidates, idiots, the inept, and just plain nasty people in the past but this country always manages to survive them.

I think this year our local and congressional elections will be more important that ever. I hope we don't lose focus on those elections because of the hype over our presidential race.

Let's hope!

Kaytee - Hubby & I were saying the same thing during the conventions. Can't you just see him sitting up on a cloud with his white board plotting out all of the possibilities?

Pooh...I surely can! And not only that but I would have LOVED to see his face and reaction whenever Palin was announced and then after the Convention! What excitement and insight he would have had! Plus fair and accurate reporting along with some very tough questions that I would have welcomed!!!!

Do we need a separate "We miss Russert" thread?

Possibly. He was a great commentator. I think his white board is now at the Smithsonean.
