It was phenomenal!

Haven't seen it, if I did I would change the chanel. I don't want to waste 30 minutes of my life listening to him.

Indeed it was. He's run the perfect campaign. Meanwhile, McCain has lurched from one disaster to another.

I didn't see it. I watched the first debate, and didn't get 20 minutes into the VP debate because Biden and Palin both ticked me off; I was pretty well sick of it and ready for the campaign to be over by the 2nd Presidential debate. I really didn't see much point in watching this. I've already voted, and while I like Obama and think he'll probably make a decent POTUS, I'm not in love with the man the way his hard-core supporters are.

Glad someone agrees with me.

I thought the whole thing was beautiful!

Didn't see a point - I've already decided who I'm voting for.

I know. In a way, I rather feel sorry for McCain. I see him as a once honorable man who sold out to be the Pres. But, the kmajority of the public saw through it. McCain has consistently lied. And, he lied about things that are petty compared to the larger issues we face today. But, he laid the card - thus, he must now play it.

Note - Obama has certainly stretched the truth as well. However, on the larger issues, he has been far more forthcoming with what he would do than McCain has been. In other words, Obama has on the whole indicated his plan. McCain seems only to attack Obama's plan and then Obama on a personal level with lies.

As for the commercial - it was very slick and very moving, much like Obama himself. The pundits are mostly saying Obama cannot pay for the thigs he set forth. But, they say that about McCain and the skeleton of his alleged plans as well. So, it's kind of a wash to me.

In the end, I cannot take four more years of W. And, I cannot take four more years of the religious far right trying to cram their version of Christianity down my Christian throat. So, while Obama is not my ideal, I think he is the better choice for the counry.

Plus, Obama just inspires hope in millions and across party lines. I mean McCain is having to defend formerly solid red states. McCain cannot seem to do that level of inspiration. Palin inspires, but it is just the far religious right and she is not really fond of the truth.

Two words: Change and Hope.

We need a Change from the 8 years we have endured under the Bush administration (McCain is more of the same) and we have to have Hope that there will be a better tomorrow. Also, we need representatives in Congress who truly represent the people --they are our representatives, though many seem to have forgotten that is why they were elected.

Obama is a bright light and McCain a dull beam.

The commercial was shown before he came on stage for his nomination speech at the DNC. I liked it then, I like it now. Tuesday should be interesting.

I'm thinking "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" might be an appropriate theme song for Tuesday night.

Excuse me?

It was a completely new package. Did you even watch it beyond the first ten seconds?

I have no attatchment to the man who rose up from the corrupt Chicago political system. I am more interested in all the congressional races and the propositions on gay marriage. Did you guys see Elizabeth Dole's ad against her challenger?

Yikes. Now watch Elizabeth Dole get bitchslapped!
