I'm not sure Obama has thought through his capital gains proposals very well, but he appears to be more even keeled than McCain lately

But Obama faces this: 40 percent of all white Americans hold at least a partly negative view toward blacks, and that includes many Democrats and independents.


One thing the republicans should be concerned about is the black vote, especially in the south. If enough blacks in Ms., Ga., Al., Tn., Fl., and the Carolinas get to the polls this could be Obama's to lose. Let's hope they get out there. For those of you who voted for "W" the first time, you are forgiven.
The second time, no way, you knew what he was and you are part of the problem. I don't know if Obama/Biden is the answer but we have to do something different. We need leadership that is proactive not reactive and I'm not talking about war.

Conservatives can be logical, smart, powerful, passionate, and authentic. The average Republican that has taken/chosen sides in the Culture Wars (which was started by Nixon) are not necessarily true Conservatives.
I just need to keep reminding myself of this fact, everyday.

So, who are you suggesting that we vote into office? :dunno: Obama may be inexperienced enough to be "different" from most other politicians, but Biden has done nothing else, and anything coming from him, won't be "different" any more than will be that coming from McCain.

Thanks for sharing this editorial / endorsement punzy. I plan to forward to friends and family. I am so excited about the opportunity we have right now to put a man in the white house who is brilliant, articulate, truly qualified to lead, has real answers to real issues that are not just quick fixes, runs the most honest and professional campaign we've ever seen, and knows that education of american citizens is the key to all. he does not profess to have all the answers but knows how to draw from our vast resources and excellent american people to get the best answers and solutions. that is leadership.

and I am thankful and amazed that we have the opportunity that we have in obama. :clap:

And I thought only Republicans drank kool-aid and blindly followed. Like many I am starting to get thoroughly disgusted with this whole process. Is it to late for us to back up six months and start over?

I surely hope that we don't go back to six months ago -- It would only lead to more of the same, and I would feel trapped in a loop.

it is called being grateful for having a real choice in this election. I do feel that Obama is the ideal choice for a leader who can bring change and set a course for america (we've had no real direction for a while now). anything wrong with that? we do have real opportunity staring us in the face. It makes me feel very optimistic.

I don't know about kool aid and blind following, but I do know about liking what i am seeing. and being very grateful for the opportunity for real change.
