WAR ON IDEAS: McCain will be a better president because of the ideas he and Palin embody. As Americans, we need to go beyond the parties of the parties and the individuals who embody the ideas. Parties and politicians come and go but the spirit of America goes on and on. This is a great country and the last best hope for the world. Each of us must make the best decision for our country when we cast our vote.

The excitement of this election from both parties has inspired many and will continue to do so. If you are not registered, register now. Help others to register! This election in the the beginning of the 21st. century is indeed crucial to each one of us, our children, grandchildren, and for generations to come. It is crucial to our country, the rest of the world, and for humanity as a whole.

Obama-Biden offer experience and change. Every American can or should appreciate the brilliance, charisma, accomplishments, leadership, and goodness of Obama. This is not to mention his ability in public speaking! Biden's service to his country is admirable. He is a fine individual, successful politician, and very likeable. Both are patriotic and that is why they want to win.

Many underestimated the success of Obama. The Democratic Convention was a success and so very fired up. Great speeches were given and the climax was indeed, Obama'a speech. Nevertheless, those of us who grew up in the 60's know that not much different was said. It is what the democrats have been saying since we heard about the great society President Johnson spoke about. More important than words is that most of us have seen most of the social problems get worse.

PALIN appeared at the right time and from the right place, Alaska. She is not only a bright star in politics but has exceptional charisma like Obama. She embodies the Republican values in a fresh new way with not only charisma but youthful energy, confidence, courage, honesty, clarity, charm, beauty, and a sense of humor. On her side she has an experienced politician rich with patriotism and independent thinking. McCain is his own man. Hanoi could not break him. The republicans couldn't and the democrats cannot. This man is made of steel and so is the woman he picked.

All the arguments used against Palin are shallow since the same arguments can be made against Obama who is running for president. However, she has also had the shallow sexism ones which have not worked and will not work November 4th.. Most Americans are turned off by that nonsense

    I care to make a wager. I will speculate that the stock market will not go back up until a Republican President is elected.
