Something like that.

His website still says $250k, BTW.

Other than that, I like the bits with Michelle and pics with their kids- adorable. The rest was boring since I've been reading obsessively for months.

Still, love that he did it. Very innovative. McCain can whine all he wants, but if he'd thought of it, he'd add it to his "maverick" claim. From O it's just arrogance!

I teared up about the mother with cancer. That pain doesn't go away.

Sometimes I wish I had seven houses and a mother who lived to be 96 so I'd know what it's like to be a McCain supporter.

If he loses, we should rename Alabama instead.

BTW: The personal stories weren't "boring" by any stretch, but there are so goddamn many of them I've been crying nearly every day for months reading one or another. Honestly, I tried to not pay too close attention.

Tuesday cannot come fast enough... except I'll probably be crying on and off all day... Bah!

then i laughed to myself a little and wondered if the obama camp did that on purpose.

THe segue to the live action in FL was fantastic.

While you all were watching this, MSNBC was showing Billdawg and Obama in FL Billdawg going all out and Obama being very gracious in return. Pointed out how beloved Billdawg is.... aw shucks.....tear in my eye.

I must say Obama now talks about the economic issues with passion. He's not this airy agent of change any more. No sir.

He can wrap his policy planks -- usually the Dems' bete noire, getitng all listy and wonky and hsit -- he wraps them into little mininarratives strike that vignettes....and tiny digs at the opponents and what they say ....

"McCain's calling me a socialist. Well it turns out they did some resesarch and found out in the 4th grade I shared my peanut butter sandwich with my fried....."

in a way that's great.

If he had been like this way back in Jan I -- focusing on changing the economic game we are all in, to restore the American dream for the middle class -- shit I might have been with him way back then.

"George Bush has been digging us in a hole for 8 years and now John McCain wants to take over the shovel."

He also said -- and get this:

"We are going o have to tighten our belts."

His description of the goal of "growing the economy from the bottom up" because when the teacher the firefighter the nurse do well the car dealer does well because they buy a new car and the car company does well and the investors do well and everyone does well ...hsit that's the best short description with solid, visual language, not intellectual bullshit, about the Dem. program and ideal...

This phrase and image of the economic plan as creating opportunity to grow the economy from the bottom up is perhaps the core of that ten word message that Dems have lackedfor way, way way too long.

And the overall frame of growth -- BINGO. Steal that frame back dude. Do not let the GOP own that word. We are the ones for fucking growth, the fucking GOP they're for illth. Right Bailo? Those NYT charts on DJIA growth under Dems and GOP pretty much proves it, too.

Unity y'all--

Barry: "Yeah, yeah, I know, it was unintentional."

Hillary: "Sure it was-- I mean, you'd never be sarcastic, right?"

Barry: "Ahhh, ya got me, you skuzzy old battleaxe!"

The day after the election our work begins. We will need to vote out of office those who stand in the way of universal healthcare, among other changes.

the richest country in the world and a fucking lot of people have. no. health. care.

Criminal.

And just so you know, Jesus was a socialist and a community organizer. which is why those in political power had to put him down.

Modern day christians are based on fear and denial, and since the christianization of the republican party they have also become based on fear and denial. Just listen to the last 8 years. And so is what McCain has become.

At the end of it, I found myself repeating over and over: We have to win this thing.

yet again ... Obama inspires while the republicans all spew hate and vitriol.

Even with the volume off it was unbearable, so I slid of the climber to a rowing machine under the tv. But even then in the back position I could see a little bit of the screen. I gave up and took a shower, then ordered the New Century Egg and Pork Congee plus market crab from Fortune Seafood on 104th...man, who needs the I.D. it was out of this world!

In celebration, I watched The Sand Pebbles while picking at the crab.

For every comment John Bailo and Lord Basil makes anywhere on SLOG between now and midnight Tuesday, donate to Barack's campaign:

But the America-hating Socialist Elitists that vote Republican probably didn't like it.

I'm pretty sure you meant a "Kerry-like horror."

I think the McCain campaign will actually do their best to ignore this and play it down. I think they know how good it was.

@41: too bad you were too scared to watch it. you might have learned something about reality. glad you enjoyed your multi-cultural dinner.
