I was wondering when this would start to sink in.

Of course, both all those people who are black, and all those people who measure 6'7", deserve rights, and have our heart-felt affection as brethren, n'est-ce pas?

By the way, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science used to have a not-un-breath-taking tableau in their atrium, showing a charged-up tyrannosaur forcefully ending an argument with a resistant ceratopian.  Hopefully you will have a chance to wander in time a bit.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

And I do like him. I think he's a good man and I think he would have made a great president in 2000. I voted for him then. But right now Obama is the right man at the right time. Timing is everything. Obama gives me enormous hope for the future. A big load for one man to carry - but I am voting for him. I believe that he can make a big difference.

Wolverine - who are you voting for, Smokey the Bear?

Canis, why are you so pessimistic about Obama's chances? He still leads in the national polls and he's remains a magnetic candidate. I am in discourse with two people from New York and both have a very dim view of his chances. Did the Bitch poison the waters out there that badly?

What the F***!

In the most respected opinion polls, Obama and McCain are now running even, each at 47%.

That is not at all good.

Obama is still ahead in electoral votes, but not by a strong margin.

God!, what a disaster!  This is one of the only consolations of being old, that we will not have to see this disaster play out for very long.

It is all up to you young whipper-snappers, see ...

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

Maybe Hillary would be stronger at this point in the polls?  Who knows?

But it is frighteming.  Expecting the same electorate, half of whom voted for Bush (twice?!?) to take this leap on Barack.  

Hillary seems the safer choice after her great speech.  Or at least a better way to hedge the big bet on Barack with here as VP, bringing all that momentum into play.

Has a fatal error been made?  It's possible.  We could be looking at another 2004 or even 1988.

But let's let Joe and then Barack speak.  Bill C's speech will probably only increase the buyers remorse effect felt after Hillary's speech.  But we'll see.

Yes Canis, politics is a game for the adventurous, ready to take a hard fall and recover.  One consolation from that factor, McCain is older than Reagan was, and showing his wear and tear much worse than Reagan ever did.  He is a fragile vessel to hold the fate of the world.

And Reagan was basically a vegetable his last three years or so in office.  Can the vast american misinformed 50% who voted for Bush, vote for McBush?  Yep.  Democracy can be very frightening.  Especially with unchecked election fraud as a routine accepted fact.

Barack's speech WILL be magnificent though.  I went to an Obama team organizing event last night.  People are ready to fight for survival of life as we know (knew?) it.  But will there be enough of us?  Line up, sign up.  If we lose this time and you sat on your hands, you will damn yourself for years.

As invasion after invasion saps our strength.  The war on terror going on and on for 100 years.  As gas goes to 10..11..12.. dollars and beyond.  As every decent job left goes offshore.  And so forth.

In 2000 when the shaved chimp was appointed, did any of us think it could get this bad?  Some did, but most of us couldn't anticipate the depth and breadth of the bushwacking.
