McC's speech was impressive, especially when he spoke of his capture, how he learned to love America as a POW in another country. I was very moved by that. ...

I thought the end of the speech was thrilling. I DO remember what he said - how he fell in love with his country when he was in another, etc. You have made an excellent point. Very True, Roy.

Yes, Dame Sarah, Our Lady has excited the people as never before. This resulted in more people watching McCain's speech than watched Obama. Many have panned McCain's speech as pedestrian. I beg to differ. As I have posted elsewhere: Folks, I think it was a great speech. A powerful speech. I’ve been listening to these things since 1952. This was one of the best. You have all heard of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Douglas was the greatest orator of his time. He kept crowds aroused for hours. How many of you have ever read anything by Douglas? How many of you have memorized and cherished and cried over The Gettysburg Address? There was no applause for that speech. McCain spoke softly. He made you listen. He told a story about himself that convinced people that he is a humble, brave, honorable and dedicated man. I have never seen anything quite like it. He also convinced many that he was the guy to slay the dragons in Washington - for them. Then there’s the Russian Bear. There have been many arguments about whether Saddam was a danger or whether Iran will be a danger. The people KNOW that Russia is an existential danger. This election is no longer about Iraq or Iran or Vietnam or anything else. This is about a truly evil monster with enough weapons to exterminate life on earth. The people who don’t know will be told by their parents and grandparents and by generations of ancestors that contribute to the family story. McCain showed that he was a warrior - a giant standing against an effete metrosexual. How many remember a line from Obama’s speech? How many gave a cheer or applauded the next day? You may not remember a line from McCain either. That’s fine. But you’ll feel him in your gut the next time you hear Obama. Maybe one of the most effective speeches ever that “the world will little note, nor long remember”. Regards, Roy Dear AJ,

The latest unemployment figures were not good, worse than had been anticipated. The Right is energized beyond anything I can recall. I want to be optimistic, but those unemployment numbers hover over us. ... How will the economy affect the voters? The latest unemployment figures were not good, worse than had been anticipated.

I have always felt that if he didn't have a solid 10 point lead going into the last two weeks of October he would lose. AJ,

How much effect do you see the “Bradley Effect” having on Obama’s numbers?

I have always felt that if he didn’t have a solid 10 point lead going into the last two weeks of October he would lose.

I can't help wondering what the Obama followers will do if he loses. What do you suppose will happen? P.S. You need to sign up for a blog feed on Facebook! It’s going to be close.
