And, this is a country which re-elected George W. Bush after finding out he lied to take us to war. In 2004, exit polls showed the number one issue on people’s minds at that time was “moral values.” If that’s not the craziest damn thing you’ve ever heard, I’d like to know what is.<BR/><BR/>MSNBC cherry picks polls showing Obama cruising to a victory, while other polls are showing a closer race. I heard a poll today saying the candidates are in a dead heat in Pennsylvania, only to hear Olbermann cite a poll putting Obama 12 points ahead there. The only significant poll will come on 4 November!<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I am scared to death of a McCain-Palin win and will only breathe easier when Obama takes it.<BR/><BR/>I fell asleep before the Maddow interview (and maybe it will re-air during the night), but I did hear segments earlier on MSNBC. I miss a lot on your blog being on a dial-up connection and unable to enjoy your videos!<BR/><BR/>I did hear Obama talk about not going after conservatives. I wonder if he knows his supporters do.<BR/><BR/>I published my Election ’08 post, “The Right Choice?”, today, worked my butt off on it, and not a damn soul bothered to read it. Ever get the feeling you are spinning your wheels in a mud hole? In the post, I let 18 conservatives go after McCain and Palin. Oh, well, just a few more days of our labors for a better America, then we’ll know.<BR/><BR/>Say a prayer and light a candle.B.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004309077511856506noreply@blogger.com
