I'll be leaving the office in an hour or so. I hope all will view the debate this evening. Time is running out, and God needs to hear our prayers. Sounds like I'm instructing God, let me re-phrase and say we need to pray more earnestly.
Another day with little good news from Wall Street. We are told that McCain does well in the townhall format. It will be interesting to see if tonight confirms that to be true. It seems to me that McCain must become specific in the areas where he disagrees with Obama and must document Obama's positions and affiliations. Obama will have less pressure to perform well. It appears if the polls are correct that its Obama's election to lose. Thus if he can maintain the status quo, he will win. McCain must knock it out of the ball park if he is to win. Without a seismic shake up the polls may continue to show a growth in support of Obama as McCain supporters become discouraged and Obama supporters begin see the finish line drawing nearer.
I'm not sure that McCain's decision to attack Obama is going to bear much fruit. The populace seems more concerned about the economy than about Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright. If McCain doesn't show why Obama's policies will be disastrous and his own successful, I'm afraid he will be found to be fighting a slippery shadow that others are not able to see.
Speculation today is that those approaching retirement have already lost as much as two trillion dollars in their investments. These numbers become personal and compelling and whether we like it or not make 9-11 seem irrelevant to many people. Unfortunately any candidate who has admitted to not knowing much about the economy is in trouble and while Sarah Palin has brought excitement to the conservative base, there must be a growing number who are now wishing that Romney were there to bring financial expertise to the McCain candidacy.
What cha think?

My Friends......I'm not sure that McCain pulled it off as well as I would have liked. It seemed to me that everything that was said I have heard before throughout this campaign. I was hoping for that homerun but a base hit was about the best that was done and that may result in an out at first. I was hoping that tougher questions would be asked and we could really get some insight into their positions concerning social,moral and character issues, but no. The conductor of the band felt it necessary to interject his own questions. This may have been a town hall format but it certainly lacked in the operaton. But, fortunately, I have a Father that has the game under control and He can make the base hit a game changer if He desires. My birdseye view of His plan for us is so limited and His panoramic view is so far above me, but I will continue to pray that He will have mercy on us. As much as Obama supporters are expected him to part the seas, my Father actually can. I'll rely on Him.
Love ya guy, Linda
