I agree with what you've stated. I was prompted to drop party affiliations when I started to pay better attention to candidates and their messages. This is the first election year that I've paid any attention to political shows. I used to watch one or two here and there to mainly here the disagreements.

Many people probably get their info from local and/or national tv and radio news, tv and/or radio ads and discussions with other people. I think the cable shows as do the radio talk shows, attract like minded viewers/listeners and it does unfortunately lead to closed minds since a lot of those hosts probably spout off a lot of empty and inflammatory rhetoric.

This time around the thing that has bothered me most hasn't been the usual partisan posturing, it's been the deliberate attempts to paint Barack Obama as "something" foreign, exotic, and dangerous and "not one of us." I only hope that it doesn't disillusion the young people who have taken interest and part in this election process.

Well I hadn't seen it so thanks. I'm glad something is being said on education.

First the families of the low income kids would have to be able to afford a computer and the internet for the technology portion to benefit them.

No I don't like SP personally, but she is more likeable, there is a level of hillary hate that is so unbelievable that people can't even give you a real reason why they hate her. When the liberals start having SP hate collectibles at their conventions then she will be on hillary's level.

I think the Hillary hate is irrational. I also think a great deal of the SP love is, oh look at our Hillary. In my opinion, Palin is like the two-headed cow -- a novelty -- and that will wear off quick. The election will be about McCain and Obama. In my opinion, Obama is the better candidate and I think he would appoint a great staff and Cabinet. I also think, in spite of conventional wisdom, the worse the economy, the less Obama's chance of winning. I think when people get scared, they will go for a grandpa figure even if they think Obama might be better. In that regard, Palin will be a disincentive.

Obama says McCain-Palin change mantra is like "lipstick on a pig"

This is getting ridiculous.

Obama is not helping his cause. I thought he was above this kind of stuff..

Thanks for that, Wales.

Oh shut up McCain. Ann Richards, a woman, used that exact same phrase at the keynote speech in 1988, The phrase is, you can put lipstick and mascara on a pig and call her Monique, but she is still a pig. The first time I heard that phrase was from Jim Hightower, former agriculture commissioner of Texas.

Stop whining McCain. And stop whining McCain supporters.
