ABC News: After last night, this is Obama's race now with Mccain and the rest of just living in it
ABC was blown away last night.

Wednesday may not be the night he clinched anything, but it may end up being the night he made the turn for home. By the time No. 42 finally turned it on for a would-be No. 44, this looked like Obama's race, with McCain and the rest of us just living in it.

2. This phrase strikes me.
"It featured too many starry-eyed politicians, ..."

I prefer starry-eyed politicians. I have had it up to here :chin-line smiley: with cynical thieves such as Ted Stevens, Sarah Palin and Tom DeLay, who speak so eloquently on McCain's behalf.

3. Nearing 25,000 comments on that article!
That means that the ad was a success IMHO.

5. that number was so incredible I had to follow the link and see for myself..
It definitely has people talking and those comments are only on one article, on 1 online media source. Imagine what's being talking about in schools, grocery stores, barber shops, restaurants, malls, towns, cities and throughout America.

Just wow.

7. Yeah, I did a triple take!
I was hoping that number would pop for someone who understood what it meant. That is an insanely huge and off the charts response thread. I draw the same conclusions as you :)

6. Obama brought himself another convention bounce, five days from the election
Absolute genius.

"The program gave a new meaning to the word 'infomercial' and, for that matter, to all notions of political advertising," Jim Rutenberg reports in The New York Times.

10. They're not living in it.
Living in this, is living this historical moment. I don't see the feeling of this moment being portrayed as a historical moment. I didn't see it when the Kennedy family, handed over the torch to Obama and endorsed him. Instead, I had to watch this online or if I caught it on CSPAN.

I didn't see the historical moment when 200,000 gathered in Germany for Obama. Instead I saw that Obama didn't visit the troops while traveling Europe.

Don't listen to the bullshit. If they can lower voter turnout, they can save some seats, to restrain Obama, and that's what they are living for.
