A friend asked me why I am now voting for a liberal Democrat. This friend knows of my support for Dubya and what a shift this vote means for me . The answer is a combination of events. His speech was so good because it was a positive speech about America. The speech also marked the necessary end of the Clinton's ruling the democratic party. They have so many lies between them that I just couldn't vote for any ticket with a Clinton on it. It is time for a change.
I agree with what he said in his acceptance ; about abortion and about gun control. He was reasonable .
I think that John is too old and Gov Palin is to young. See this link ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWX5u69hmzY
Barack said it in his speech; Enough. I say enough of watching my President stumble over simple issues and enough of the confusion of watching the confusion.
And,I think it is time for Universal Health Care. John McCain has a very standard GOP issue plan for health care and its not enough. It is not that 46 million have No coverage. How many have coverage that have such high costs associated with their policies that a serious illness literally bankrupts them. So, John McCain's tax break idea just isn't enough for the multitudes that earn $50,000 per year.
All of my pay is subject to Social Security Tax....why shouldn't the folks that make so much more than I do not have the same burden? Structure it any way you want to but those people that are earning more and more money need to shoulder more of the burden.
I'm convinced that as a couple the Obamas love this country and believe in the greatness of our country. I am convinced that the forces against them , right wing radio hucksters , will do or say anything to create a doubt in our minds to defeat them. The Fox Alstars were just shrill in their critic of Obama's speech because they knew that their man McCain had no chance of giving such a moving,well thought out and stimulating speech.

Great to hear, Wes. You have my head nodding so fast on all of your points that I may suffer whip lash!

Last first..Watch Obama when he is without a "prompter". He may stumble as well. Yes he has a good delivery. But he and family have grown in the last several weeks to taylor their words to "answer" the comments regarding their love of country. See the European speaches and the "when are responciple" words about America part in whatever. I don't want a World President I want an American President leading us. I should not be an isolationist but my nationalism comes out when some forign policy issues come up. If one voted for Bill the first time and then the second, this is still that party. Health care is serious and there needs to be a plan but not one that targets those that are "doing well" as oposed to them that are not. That means taxes will go up. Yes, redirect the current taxes to where we need. That will take "out of the box" thinking and too young is not a good reason to not do that. Too inexperenced is...Where has Joe been all this time. He has been past over by his party for a reason, until now. He is a DC insider. Alaska is not. As usual, my spelling get a waiver...
Welcome back Wes! I agree with all your points. well thought out indeed.
