You know what? I totally trust Obama.

I am reading all of this Ayers hysteria with a sense of detachment. Why? Because Obama has thus far run a nearly flawless campaign. He is incredibly savvy and intelligent and a consummate politician -- in a good way -- despite his relative youth. Just wait and see: McCain is going to come out of this looking like a curmudgeonly, erratic, fear-mongering, hysterical old fart.

We need to keep working our butts off, but the simple truth is: OUR GUY IS BETTER. :D

1. Now worried about the Ayers B.S. at all.
The Rethugs will have to come up with something new if they want to make a dent in Obama's numbers. And with Palin on the ticket, even that won't be much of a dent.

2. I trust Obama, too. I'm concerned about Brokaw, though.
Who knows what sickening questions he might give to Obama and McCain on Tuesday?

4. Obama to Preempt McCain.. Check this out..
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 10:45 AM by Bensthename
Dont worry Obama has the situation under control.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14283.html

Branding his opponent as “erratic in a crisis,” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is preempting plans by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to portray him as having sinister connections to controversial Chicagoans.

Obama officials call it political jujitsu – turning the attacks back on the attacker.

McCain officials had said early in the weekend that they plan to begin advertising after Tuesday’s debate that will tie Obama to convicted money launderer Tony Rezko and former Weathermen radical William Ayers.

But Obama isn’t waiting to respond. His campaign is going up Monday on national cable stations with a scathing ad saying: “Three quarters of a million jobs lost this year. Our financial system in turmoil. And John McCain? Erratic in a crisis. Out of touch on the economy. No wonder his campaign wants to change the subject.

“Turn the page on the financial crisis by launching dishonorable, dishonest ‘assaults’ against Barack Obama. Struggling families can't turn the page on this economy, and we can't afford another president who is this out of touch.”

5. You know, I'm really not worried either--and I can't believe it.

6. I wouldn't put it that way - sounds too slavish.... I prefer Molly Ivins' phraseology...
"You have to dance with him what brought'cha"
