Let's light this candle!

I’ve heard that there will be a Code Pink / IVAW protest outside of the Debate area , that will seek to crash the event .Anybody got anything on that? I have heard that GOE and Freepers will be there to counter . Anybody got anything on that?

[Liberty Valance]

May the force be with John McCain and the acorns piled high for all the world to see!

[kabar]

So do we think that immigration, abortion, and gun control will be raised at this the final debate? So far, these issues have not been raised at the previous three debates [including the VP debate.]

I think McCain is winning.

[Shelayne]

I was so upset about that as well. How many debates, and NO questions about abortion? Hmmm, wonder WHY?! /s

I LOVED Sarah’s speech about the unborn! It was amazing!

The life issue is the one I always bring up in my conversations with these strangers.

This time explaining Obama’s position on the BORN ALIVE BILL will be easy. So many have NO IDEA what this is about.

[stocksthatgoup]

The entire campus is buzzing. Historical re-enactments were held 24 hours before Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama take the stage. There was Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass,a mock-slavery auction, women's rights activists and civil rights speakers -- all intended to "engage debate."

Marking for later! Cheer up, the Lord is with us!

Think McCain has to bring the Born Alive Bill up, whether he’s asked or not.

And we know he won’t be asked because the answer is above O’s pay grade. So McCain has to bring it up and call him on it.

What’s the mod gonna do. . .kick him off the stage?

I’m not holding my breath on this though.

[Shelayne]

I had that conversation with a woman today. Believe it or NOT—still undecided. She said she was reading up on the cadidates and watching the debates, but she still didn’t know.

She knew nothing about Obama’s extremist infanticide votes or his socialism. When I said something about furthest left presidential nominee ever, she said, “Really— he is?”

I gave her a little education. Oh, and thinkin’ she was a Hillary gal, I referred her to the PUMAs. ;^)

[Texas4ever]

I heard her too! She sounded very anxious and Iknow how she feels. I could hardly eat dinner tonight my stomach is in knots. I dont know how to not allow these news reports and polls effect me. I hear a lot of people anxious.

as I recall, I think I was like this around the same time when it was Bush vs Kerry!

Somehow this time it seems worse....and I really cant stand our opponent.....I think I will move to Alaska if we lose.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I already did this morning .....

[Shelayne]

I was a nervous wreck during Bush v Kerry. I am strangely calm tonight.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

I think it's closer than the “polls” lead on.

This past week I've seen Mc Cain/Palin lawn signs pop up all over my town.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" According to FOX, Obama is complaining today that he would be ahead by at least 3 more points if it wasn’t for FOX News. What a cry baby. "

More Koolaid-Foolaid for the brainwashed sheeple's consumption..
I hope there is some poetic Justice tonight that FOX get's the most ratings tonight ever....
