On John Mc Cain , your Guy , if you are fair minded , you would have noticed ,if you listened that
Obama had Specifics along with Soaring words .
According to the TV Pundits , the timidity of the Republican's response clearly revealed that they were Shell Shocked .
No longer can Obama's critics say that he wasnt specific on his plans to take the Country . One of the gems was when Obama stated that " JOHN MC CAIN SAYS HE WILL FOLLOW BIN LADEN TO THE GATES OF HELL , BUT HE REFUSES TO GO TO BIN LADEN'S CAVE TO GET HIM " .
You and others seem to think that being a Prisoner of War for 5 1/2
years gives Mc Cain experince to be President , also being in Washington for 26 years , NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH .
Tell us about Mc Cain's top Advisor who was paid $800,000 .00
By the Georgian Government . There are many who believe that the President of Georgia was under the impression that this money also bought him John Mc Cain , and that emboldened him to attack the breakaway States .
Always Karma is a Bitch , I recall the Republican man of the Cloth who extolled his flock to pray for rain on the night of Obama's Acceptance Speech . Funny how the Republican's Convention may be delayed due to Gustav . I didnt hear that anyone in the Democratic Party praying for a disruption of the Republican's Party Convention .

In reply to POINT
Boomer's buddy Ramesh says it was a dishonest speech 
In reply to JohnDoe
Thats so puerile and almost naive.
I mean which political savvy watcher is going to use dishonesty as the buffer for effective when talking about politicians, especially AMERICAN politicians.
In reply to JohnDoe
FYI , The National Review like Fox News , is always Unbalanced &
and Unfair .
In essence that Rag is known to have a onesided fixed Agenda . Let Boomer tell you what Bill Crystal , a known conservative ,thought about Obama's Speech .

In reply to thefan
Ramesh Ponnuru.
Guessing by the last name, his "ancestors" (if not parents) are from Andhra Pradesh in India.

I still cant get a peep out of Boomer . But I aint about to hold my breath .
In reply to POINT
even states like AL-OBAMA now in play..
In reply to ray_ray
WHY IS IT THEN , THAT SOME OF THE CONSERVATIVE PUNDITS SAYING THAT IT WAS A GREAT SPEECH ?
The Republicans and those of your ilk , refuse to understand that IF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE USA DOESNT LIFT ALL, YES ALL OF THE CHILDREN IN THE COUNTRY , BY ENSURING THAT THEY GO TO COLLEGE , THE USA WILL BE LEFT BY THE WAYSIDE , in this global economy .
Evidently you have ignored his Energy Preogram , Health Care Program , Repairing the Infrastructure of the Country , surely you know about the Bridge that collapsed .
I know that you didnt hear Obama's speech , if you had you would have been spouting such crap .
By the Way , Mc Cain's choice for his VP , was a sure sign of Desperation , She was Mayor of a Town that has 5,400 people . she has been a governor for less than 2 years , and is currently being investigated for ABUSE OF POWER by the Alaskan State Officials , because she wanted an Official to fire her ex brother in law and he refuse and the official was subquently fired . He was on TV last night , and stated that he strongly believes that was why he was fired .

Dont worry with these people , the main poll I look at is the Electoral Vote poll ,
www.electoral-vote.com .
In reply to POINT Point you have a point ..that Sarah Palin pick was just a desperate move to get women voters..I hope women are not that naive to vote for McCain because he has an inexperienced woman on his ticket.
Sarah's astuteness in commending Hillary is noteworthy. American women will do the right thing 
In reply to Surya
Yes they will by closing ranks and voting for Obama , you should understand that first of all , most of the women in the Democratic Party , are PRO CHOICE , Sarah Palin is PRO LIFE .
I believe also that most women look upon Mc Cain's chosing Sarah , as an insult to their intelligence .
Sarah Palin is a member of the NRA , I dont believe that most women are in favour of the NRA .
After 8 years of the Republicans , the people in America believe that it is time for a Change , particularly when there are many homless persons , many jobless persons , many homes in foreclosure , the price of gas high , The Iraqis sitting on 79 Billion dollars while US taxpayers MONEY IS BEING SPENT TO REBUILD THEIR COUNTRY , AND American lives are lost in their Civil War .
Point, anti-incumbency is the biggest factor against the Republicans. One or two knobs namely tax-cuts and interest rate cuts are found to be woefully inadequate to fix the economy in this era of globalization. I will be looking out with interest for both candidates' specifics regarding these issues. McCain's continued interest in the war in Iraq doesn't augur well. Birdseye posted a link to an NY Times op-ed piece by Friedman (author of "The Earth is flat") that talked about how we (USA) had gone back while China advanced in the last 7 years.
OBAMA: Change We Can Believe In!
McCain: Too Old To Change!!
Can't Believe Obama would not use this very obvious slogan
Spratty, it's a good one.
In reply to jacksprat
Maybe they don't wanna offend the old people.
In reply to POINT you got time to engage Ray Ray?
If he used to at least debate instead of being dismissive ah wouldnt...well..you get muh point. 
In reply to Surya
Did you see the Hillary women rejecting her outright???
it was funny...
watching 'revealed now on CNN.
McCain really had quite a few skeletons in his closet...ah wonder what they will reveal about Obama that we dont already know?
In reply to powen001
Hillary did all the digging arredy. He safe now.
In reply to zimzimma
point.
I particularly like his answer when asked if he inhaled his Marijuana.
In an obvious back hand slap against BILL Clintons...1992..I smoked Marijuana BUT I DID NOT INHALE...
Obama said...
Ahhh.. Yes I inhaled! That was the Point of Smoking it!!
I invite ALL to Google the New York Times online , and read the Op-Ed column by Frank Rich entitled OBAMA OUTWITS THE BLOVIATORS . Better yet Google Barack Obama , you will find it there , as this Op Ed was published yesterday .
In reply to Surya
Mc Cains record of voting with George W. Bush 90% of the times in nearly eight years is a tag that Mc Cain cannot duck or disavow .
To paraphrase Obama , the American People should realize that there is only a 10% chance that Mc Cain will breakaway from the Policies of Bush .
In reply to Khary9
Listen the Republican Party is filled with corrupt Politicians , who always do their utmost to suppress the votes of those they believe wouldnt vote for them .
They are also very adept at slinging mud when they cannot win on the Issues I expect more nastiness after their Convention .
I have no doubt however that Obama is ready for them , starting with Mc Cain's episode in the Savings & Loan Bank Scandal , which cost the American Taxpayers 3 BILLION DOLLARS .
Mc Cain will also have to explain to the American people why one of his chief Political Advisors , is a man who is a Lobbyist for the Country Georgia , that paid him $800,000.
Queries would also be asked why the President of Georgia met with Carl Rove earlier this year , and also staffers from Mc Cain ,and whether the actions of these persons , emboldened Georgia to attack the 2 breakaway States .
The fact that Obama has stated that he is going to run a campaign on the issues , and he is a different kind of Politician , aint mean that he is going to play nice , HE IS GOING TO ATTACK MC. CAIN HARD FROM NOW ON . His acceptance Speech was merely the opening salvo , That stunned Mc Cain , to the extent that their response was meek .
********************************
BOOMER ,
I AINT HEAR YOU YET , I
HAVE A FEELING YOU WANT TO COME
ON BOARD , BUT TO DO THAT YOU
WILL HAVE TO REJECT AND RENOUNCE
THE FOOLS IN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY WHO EVERY 4 YEARS
BAMBOOZLE PEOPLE INTO BELIEVING
THAT GIVE THE RICH MORE MONEY IS
EVENTUALLY GOING TO TRICKLE DOWN
TO THOSE AT THE BOTTOM .
THIS WAS INVENTED BY RONALD REGEAN , AND TO DATE HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
THE SALIENT QUESTIONS THAT
AMERICANS MUST DECIDE IS THIS ,
ARE WE BETTER OFF NOW THAN WE
WERE 8 YEARS AGO ???
Point, are democrats holy cows?
In reply to Surya
I have no idea what the hell you mean by your retort . I however will say that the Democratic Party is the Lesser of two Evils .
While it is true that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican , in modern times the Republicans have always consorted with the RICH in this Country , while neglecting others .
That is precisely why they always have more money than the Democrats . They are perpetually funded by the Rich .
If you looked at the Democratic Convention , you would have seen people of all different ethnicity , The Democratic Party is very diverse .
Checkout the Republican Party's
Convention starting tomorrow , and see how many ethnic groups you find there , in large amounts . I have no doubt that you will be able to count the number of persons in prominent postions who are of colour .
The Advent of the Internet means , as Barack Obama has demonstrated , by raising millions of dollars from ordinary persons ,the financial
clout and advantage the Republicans have can be negated .
I would say that People generally vote for their interest . That is why more African Americans are in the Democratic Party and vote Democratic .
I would readily agree that our interest havent always been well served by the Democratic Party , but being out of the White House for 8 years obviously will have sobered them up to knowing that they need to look after the interest of their staunches Supporters .
Dont get me wrong , the Election of Barack Obama aint going to mean that everything is going to be fine , far from it . Already the Republicans and even some Democrats will claim that Affrimative Action needs to be stopped .
Unfortunately many refuse to acknowledge the fact that this Global Economy , demands that TO COMPETE THE CITIZENRY OF THE USA MUST BE IN A POSITION TO COMPETE WITH THOSE OF CHINA , INDIA ET AL .
This means that Healthcare is important , ALL Schools must be of a high standard etc . As I have stated previously , the axiom " A CHAIN IS AS STRONG AS ITS WEAKEST LINK " . In essence
if the Schools in the Urban Areas are not on par with those in the Surban Areas , that is going to be a huge problem . The Republicans refuse to accept this fact . If this and other
problems including the Infrastructure of the Country , Energy etc isnt fixed the USA will slowly become a third rate country .
