Ok. Thanks for that, Wicca. I was hoping he did.

In any case, Greg that is just foul. The state had to go after them to keep the promise they made when they shut down and left the area? Now why spend tax dollars fighting to receive a return on a promise to hire back the amount of workers you said you would?

And they got tax breaks on top of all that? That's what I'm talking about.

I agree with some of what Howard Fineman says....definitely about the complex "speak" of Obama. He does need to employ the KISS method and get to the heart of the matter because people do tend to get lost or if they;re like me with the short attention span, they lose interest and start noticing silly little things. While I think that all of what he says may contribute to reasons he lost, if he loses, I don't think they will be the major reasons.

If certain voters decide that they don't like Obama for any reason (especially for a reason beyond his control) then it's not going to matter what he does. He's fully aware of that and maybe he's okay with taking that chance. He's fully aware that there are going to be lots of reasons put out there for why he didn't win if he doesn't and he's going to accept a little of everything as being true. I will always think well of him for putting himself out there because none of us will never know how hard that road is to travel under the best of circumstances much less his.

There is no reason in the first place for this election to be as close as it is, but its just the situation we are in. It being so close is more beneficial for McCain than Obama obviously and we are starting to see that. This election is anyone's at this point. The debates will be key I think. I still am holding onto my belief that Obama will win, but it certainly isn't a guarantee, and it will be all but a dream unless Obama and the Dems shift the focus and quick. Find something to counteract this Sarah Palin phenomena, because it clearly isn't going to go away on its own.

They need to stay on message (which needs to be concise) and be well prepared for their debates. They don't need to counteract Palin at all since she's not the presidential candidate and they don't need to panic or contribute to the confusion. Once people have heard that same speech of hers over and over some of the shine will come off on its own. I haven't even watched anything but sports yakking today (which is almost as bad since they're still stuck on Tom Brady is out for the season.....uh huh.....what are the Patriots going to do....uh keep playing).

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
