Hmm, thanks for that. Odd, the snippets I've heard (I try not to
waste time listening to all this crap) were suggesting to me that
McCain was just as retarded as the Democrats on economic
issues (except for his rather strikingly praiseworthy history of
*never* having supported an earmark!).

The snippets I hear on radio show the media in full swing and
using the race card at full potential. I heard today the
*opinion* (!) of the person reading the news that if Obama
loses, it will be because of "one-third of Democratic voters
admit to having a problem with a black candidate", a claimed
result of one of the usual very dubious polls (of the kind
commissioned by both sides) about this time every election
year (always worded so as to get the intended and desired
response).

Aw, you're just trying to cheer me up. But thanks anyway  :-)
