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).

    • 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?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
