Hi onyx! Seeing you on this thread reminds me of a tidbit I saw a few weeks ago.

I was following Jake Tapper tweets on some story (don’t remember what now)...and a follower of his was giving him a hard time about Sarah Palin.

She was complaining to Jake that he was taking SP too serious, reporting about her all the time.

Jake then shot back that Gov Palin got over 50 million votes in 08, and that was as serious as a heart attack!

And I thought...good point!

I don’t see why it would even matter in this election if Johnson was tested in an unscripted situation or not. All that matters is how they vote — with 0bama, or against 0bama.

I can't stand Russ Feingold. He's one of the many liberals I'm most looking forward to seeing defeated. Ron Johnson has this this won, but of course I wouldn't want us to start taking these races for granted.

Watched the debate this am.

Johnson looks like Charles Lindburgh. Feingold is the better speaker, even though what he says, is basically the same thing all liberals say, cloaking it to appear they’re moderates.

I think Johnson needs to be more basic in his message. The debate should allow for chance to make a comment after the first one, as Feingold said things that needed to be corrected.

Wind turbines...? The company would not have started without govt assistance? If a company needs govt assistance to start, then something is wrong.

We are a capitalist country. The govt doesn’t produce the jobs, people do. They take the risk...they hire people, they produce a service or a product.

These politicians have no clue about that.

And one last thing. Why not just cut taxes to businesses. Why the loop holes...why the prerequisites. Just cut the taxes damnit. WHy make a company go through hoops to get the tax cut.

Keep these people out of our lives...yes...doing nothing is probably better than doing something. History has shown that to be true...

This country is in trouble...each election we find ourselves at a cross roads....

Well, we let the wolf in the door, for many reasons, but it’s clear what these people want to do....The govt is not the answer to our problems... it is the problem...

We need more people like Mr. Johnson in office.

He’s not smooth, but he appears sincere and likeable. Trustworthy. I suspect we’ll see in the polls on Monday..if the debate helped him.

I'm glad you watched, and ithink on Johnson did better than Feingold.

Jean S said early on that WI voters were looking to see whether Johnson could hold his own 'unscripted' and he did that and then some. He gave Feingold a rump-kicking many times during the debate.

You're right that Feingold tries to come across as a moderate, but WI knows he's a Leftie after 18 years, so his 'reach across the aisle' nonsense is just that - nonsense that has resulted in the unconstitutional McCain/Feingold.

I can't vote in WI and you can't either, but I detest Feingold to the point that I sent Johnson a small donation a couple of months ago so that I would have a vested interest in the race and I think candidates can always use $25 or $50 and I like to participate whenever I can.

Here's to US SENATOR RON JOHNSON! I hope he enjoys another jump in the polls, but the only poll that counts is election day.

RON JOHNSON FOR US SENATE - DONATE HERE

Just the thought of that arrogant @ hole is just delightful to think about isn’t?

I have this cautious optimism....I think if it’s a toss up election going in to election day, the incumbant is going to lose...

BTW I enjoy the clarity of your writing

YES! YES! A thousand times YES!

Election eve is going to be thrilling beyond belief!

So many races to watch! I guess we'll have to stay with Fox News Channel and hope it sticks with the hard numbers in lieu of "fair and balanced" blather from the likes of Juan Williams and that horrid Bob Beckel.

Maybe FNC will have Brit Hume host for the evening? That would be a treat. Bret Baier is wonderful, but nobody smacks Juan like Brit Hume.

BTW, nobody has ever told me, I write with clarity, (because I do NOT), so please know I will remember you. :)

Take care!
