I am very afraid for our future if the 50% of the nation that brought us this present disaster unrepentantly vote for McCain and Palin. One thing that troubles me is the 1% you don't agree with me. Must be when I launch on Religion. Thanks Alice. I am very afraid for our future if the 50% of the nation that brought us this present disaster unrepentantly vote for McCain and Palin.

Obama has already conceded TN, it seems. We are getting all kinds of negative ads from the McCain campaign, and the Obama campaign is so far doing nothing to counter them. To find a Progressive voice I have to log on to NYTimes or Washington Post, or, of course, your blog! We are looking forward to the debates, confident that Obama is well equipped to handle McCain, who appears more and more scripted and robotic these days. Pres. Clinton pointed out that there is a great deal of admiration for McCain for "giving everything a person can give for his country without dying." I wonder if that will carry him through? You are right when you say that the McCain we admired, for his courage and sacrifice and for the "maverick" stand he took on a few issues early in his career, has almost completely sold his soul to get elected president. Picking Palin surely demonstrates a lack of good judgement at worst, and cynical ambition at the very least. Thanks for putting words on all of this! I agree with you 99% of the time:-) I’ve enjoyed reading your blog. Obama has already conceded TN, it seems.
