So, what if Obama loses the election?
How will everyone feel about that? Another stolen election? Or a last minute turn for McCain?

1. He's NOT. Get real.
We are not going to let that happen, ever again...

The only turn for McCain?

Down.

2. He already closed the deal in debate 2. In debate 3...
Debate 3 has to be where he really start acting presidential, telling the American people what needs to be done to jump start this economy.

The plan needs to be global. A leader who is popular around the world will be more than likely to get it done.

9. It is not over till all the votes are counted
We have to, and Obama needs to stop acting like he is in the
driver's seat.  Be steadfast and continue working as if you
have something to prove.  Don't get complacent.  Be proactive
to the unknowns that lay on the horizon.  You never know what
tomorrow brings.

3. If McCain is our next president, I will cry and believe it was another stolen election.

I sat on the sideline long enough. Been to a lot of sites and those other folks have completely lost it.

5. I worry about it and
I am discussing options with my husband. We are still paying on our home and we have pets. I worry about his retirement money evaporating. We are talking about how we can move and to where or maybe leave the Country if we can.

17. At Least The Dollar is a Bit Stronger That It Has Been Lately
I can't imagine why, unless the Eurozone is in even worse shape than we are. How could that be?

15. I'm torn between saying ...
Open a Travel Agency for the rest of you fleeing masses (humor)
or
Don't talk like that in public. It's bad luck. (serious)

16. Depends on circumstances. Life goes on.
In any case. Whether we want it to or not.


If McCain wins or is handpicked by SCOTUS, I'll try to do whatever I can to mitigate the damage they do.
