I have to say it although it hurts. Barring some incendiary news about Obama, this election is over. I pity Sarah Palin. She has to go out there for a month and be exciting and energetic and positive. Of course, buyer’s remorse will hit big time when it’s too late. I can at least look forward to being a citizen of the shadow resistance government
This at best is a draw and thats good for Mccain and certainly not Maobama.

I made every effort to be objective while watching and I agree with your conclusion.
The format was tailored for O’s style, he was able to speak artfully, without a clock. He was on his game, but if one listened there wasn’t much substance to his statements.
OK, it appears the MSM influenced who the Repbulican candidate was to be. Most of us on the FR board realize what an O victory will mean for the USA.
So we need to lick our wounds, hunker down and support our team.
ssshhh! the "one" is listening.
What I am giving up on is the expectation that some politician or politicians are going to now “save us” from a pending, horrific, mistake the American people are about to make.
Again, we now need to talk among ourselves what we are going to do about it - we will need to do it on our own because no politician, and for sure it won’t be McCain, is going to be the answer.
Too many American people now want to give those in government, those who are behind Obama, the power.
Give them the power in return for free bread.
Nothing is free, and free bread is not freedom. It is the same old lines WE all know and say, but it seems that more than half of America has forgotten.
They have forgotten and that is why Obama is going to win the election.
We want to be individuals - we are now trying to face down the power of government, the power of bureaucratic and economic and scientific power. That is why the do not want us to be individuals.
Of course we cannot give up. The first step towards this is to have the real conversation among ourselves that we are going to now have to do with on our own, align ourselves, and not hope for some election, some politician, to do it.
How we can do this, I do not really know. Perhaps those who simply refused to cooperate, such as a Gandhi, have the answer “half right”.
It won’t be McCain. We need to start to talk now, as to what we are going to do. This is how we do not give up. If we continue to think it will be McCain, well it is clear that it will not be. So when America makes that terrible mistake, we need to protect our own. That is how we do not give up.
Really, that is what it comes down to. It’s sort of like being the Jew in the Warsaw ghetto, and the Nazi Stuka’s are bombing us. Of course, that isn’t what it is. Those terrible moments in history.
But I think we really need to stop and think, and get real. What will we do now? Don’t tell me about November. We have already lost that by hoping against hope that a politician would be smart enough this time, this vital time.
But he wasn’t.
It was a distraction awful debate....
lets get back on message regarding Obama...Odinga is next
Corsi will start talking about it in a couple of days. He was held in Kenya....it should be good.
Start planting the work Odinga!!!
Ues it is in the new 425 pager.
I think you make valid points, but I don’t see the use in proceeding as if it’s a lock that Obambi will win (though it may be).
The reprecussions of the debate, if any, haven’t even trickled out yet.
A lot can happen between now and Election Day, especially with the volatility of the economy presently.
Polls are imperfect.
All I am saying is time is short, let’s focus on fighting the best fight to get our side elected that we possibly can. There will be time enough to figure out how to respond to the new administration, whoever wins.
Plus, practically, anything beyond thinking of that response in general terms now will have to be reformulated anyway because, I think, the state of the economy, which is unknowable until we get there, will be the biggest determinant of what the next president does in the first year or so of his administration.
Corsi is my hope.
And I hate to say it but after watching McCain it’s obvious as far as spending he’s be as bad as Bush. He just offered another 200 million bucks or so to bail out the people who bought houses they couldn’t afford. Wish I’d have bought a big house on the lake.
