I will gladly vote for two intelligent men. I feel sorry for you if you think the answer to the worst economy since the great depression is the two morons GOP has chosen to save this nation (I supported Mitt Romney). Intellect should count for something. We have a man at the top of the ticket that was in the bottom of his class intellectually. And the person that would be 1/2 a breath away from the presidency attended 5 colleges before she was able to pull together enough credits to receive her diploma from the University of Idaho. They might have a piece of paper, but do they have the intelligence to lead this nation in the hard times ahead? I don't belive so. But what else is new we elected a moron to lead the United States of America and look where it brought us. Sarah Palin would be ½ a breath away form having her finger on the nuclear button. Do you trust her with your life and the lives of your children and grandchildren? I don't! I'm sorry you can't take a crash course in intellect. That is why this Christian, white, Republican, woman will be voting for Barack Obama. Hi AnninCA:

I have RL friends who whine about foreclosure but clearly didn't have the wherewithall and got into houses well beyond their means. I know them. These are people who constantly profess ignorance as an excuse. So I get that side of the equation. I also know that they probably could pay a reasonable mortgage, with a decent rate, based on the real value now. I get that side. It's a case of flip-flop this year for alot of people. I never mind flip-flopping as much as others do provided I see a good reason. I DO want to see the politician explain it. But it's hard to get that sound-bite. This campaign has raced from point to point. I trust McCain because I saw how he handled the Keating 5. I know his record. So I "get" him. He'd agree with you and tell you why he changed. Obviously, the economic situation became very clear. It's a small plan, actually. It's smart. People don't want a plan where they are totally left out. It's a smart idea, and it's not going to cost anywhere near what Obama is purporting. It isn't the panacea, either. It's just a smart move at the right time. Give the real people a break, even if I don't agree with their financial values. Give the people something in this that's real. And it won't hurt home values. Anything that doesn't drive those further down is not stupid. I think we are ALL flip-flopping.

In his widely panned March 25th address on the economy, John McCain essentially blamed American homeowners teetering on the brink of foreclosure for their plight, insisting any assistance must be temporary and must not reward people who were irresponsible at the expense of those who weren’t. Facing a backlash, McCain just two weeks later on April 11 rolled out new proposals, claiming his priority number one is to keep well meaning, deserving home owners who are facing foreclosure in their homes. As the New York Times concluded: In both tone and substance, Mr. McCain’s remarks were something of a departure from a speech the senator delivered last month in California in which he warned that it is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers. I want to know where the line is forming where I could get my mortgage rewritten so that the taxpayers could absorb the lower value of my home. I can’t get over McCain’s extreme FLIP-FLOPING!

But the current polls changed drastically only 10 days ago for a very volitile reason. Obama has had NOTHING to do with the polls changing - he is just the benefactor of the election gods, as the blogger said earlier in this piece. It is the "throw the rascals out" mentality when something major like the financial market collapse developes. Whichever party that is out of power is the benefactor, especially with pocketbook issues. However, in the case of Obama, thankfully there is still enough time left once the buyer's remorse sets in, and it is realized that this person who is only 3 years out of the Illinois state senate and the streets of Chicago with almost 0 executive experience is about to become president by default - and then in charge of your life savings. He also has an astronomical budget he has promised on top of the bailout. Scarey.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself, FDR said. Perhaps the best thing you could do with your $50 you were going to donate to McCain is to instead use it to purchase something and get this logjammed economy moving again. Never thought I'd hear myself giving this advice, but clearly the "doom and gloom" reports on the economy are going to have to lift if McCain is have a prayer. Write your favorite MSM and ask them to lighten it up a bit! I know, this sounds stupid. But it's an idea. :) PLUS, we might all help the economy out (that’s the albatross weighing McCain down) by going out and buying something — some stock preferably, but if not that then something else you’ve been wanting.

"Obama landslide" is a scarey phrase, and that's got to be for more than just those of us who post here. I think at LOT of people out there are having doubts about him. I have Democrat friends who are going to hold their noses and vote for him purely because he is a Democrat -- as Hillary has asked them to do. They call themselves "platform" voters and believe that the sheer fact he is a democrat will keep him in line. But when I remind them that McCain is so liberal he almost lost the conservative wing of his own party, they pause ... and think. I'll bet you a large number of Americans decide with their hand on the (proverbial) lever this year.
