fyi, the networks have agreed not to call the presidential election till the polls close on the west coast
thus at 10 PM they immediately gave cali, wash and oregon to obama and declared him the winner
they knew before, but have pledged not to declare so people on the west coast will vote
i heard couric say "thank you"
it was hilarious
palin looked like she was saying goodbye forever, praise the lord
has there ever been a political figure to come and go faster??
mccain probably gave his best speech ever, i think he redeemed himself a little
he basically told the booers to shut the fuck up, very cool
i stick with my previous statement: biggest event in american history in my lifetime
and that's a long time, shiteaters

not in my lifetime
it is very cool, very fucking cool
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

One other thing that I noticed last night. I have never really heard Obama break out into that chanting style that the black preachers use when he makes a speech. You know like Jesse Jackson does, or MLK did, and that lawyer for the OJ trial, where they rhyme or get a preacher rhythm going.
But last night, the further into his speech he got, the more he started to sound like that. Almost like he was going to go into a "can I get an amen" type of thing.

couric did not ruin palin, palin was who she was
it was a bonehead move by ccain, or whoever talked him into her
just plain stupit, and an insult to all americans
it is hard to even imagine what they were thinking
could they really presume that the public was that dumb??
just a terrible move
as far as couric saying "thank you," i don't think she was ready
she blew her cover, but she did nothing wrong, palin hung herself with the rope she was handed
flump, i think you are probably sincere, but you still don't get it
how can your young daughter feel the way she does
she should be thrilled to have witnessed a great day in american history, not feel bad that "one of those" won
shame on you for that, yopu are responsible for her, not the neighbors
as for you having to pay a bit more taxes, are you implying that at 2 mil you are OK?
shit man, don't whine if you are making a mil and a half and yer gonna take a small hit
millions of people, many of whom have done nothing wrong, are losing their homes
it is gonna be a time when everyone will have to tighten up and pull together to make the country work

She's toxic.
NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

The debates unnerved both candidates. When he was preparing for them during the Democratic primaries, Obama was recorded saying, "I don't consider this to be a good format for me, which makes me more cautious. I often find myself trapped by the questions and thinking to myself, 'You know, this is a stupid question, but let me … answer it.' So when Brian Williams is asking me about what's a personal thing that you've done [that's green], and I say, you know, 'Well, I planted a bunch of trees.' And he says, 'I'm talking about personal.' What I'm thinking in my head is, 'Well, the truth is, Brian, we can't solve global warming because I f---ing changed light bulbs in my house. It's because of something collective'."
