Raines has been quietly constructing a new life for himself," Ms. Huslin's story began. "He has shaved eight points off his golf handicap, taken a corner office in Steve Case's D.C. conglomeration of finance, entertainment and health care companies and, more recently, taken calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on mortgage and housing matters."

Now, of course both Obama and Raines will deny this, but whatever you want to believe is fine. I know for a fact that Sen McCain and a few others wrote TWO years ago warning congress about this situation...Sen Obama did not join in the letter. You make your own decision 1 NOTHING has been proven on either side thus your statement..."that claim has been proven to be false but the Republicans keep repeating it. " is simply not true.

2. Your second paragraph about the "2nd coming of Bush" is simply what Sen Obama has been telling you. Check the record on the men....OOPS, there is NO record for Sen Obama....listen, to vote for a radical JUST FOR CHANGE makes no logical sense to me at all. Actions at the debate made no influence on me. I listen to them and they both said NOTHING.....my decision is not made on body language on something this important.

3. As far as the crowds are concerned, as I said I do not know why Sen McCain is not being complimented but I suppose that mentality does not exist. The crowds were getting out of control I suppose with shouts...Sen Obama always has such well behave folks...anyway, Sen McCain wanted to temper the crowd so he tells them not to fear Sen Obama and guess what..he gets criticized for that..amazing. Sen Obama IS VERY SCARY, but nobody that I am aware of has ATTACKED HIM PERSONALLY OR HIS FAMILY IN ANY WAY....they are attacking his ideology which is radical and of course in return are called either racist of hate mongers. Of course, it is ok to attack every single member of Gov Palin's family....Sen McCains wife, etc..that is fine. Go figure but nobody has attacked Sen Obama on a personal level to my knowledge...HIS IDEALOGY yes !

4. The turn in the campaign is too late and too soft. Sen Clinton should have attacked this area during the primary harder. She did but she and President Clinton were called all kinds of vile things because of it.
Sen McCains talks only about Sen Obama and his radical ideaology WHICH IS TOTALLY TRUE (see Ayers, Wright, and all) and he is called a hate monger and negative. So, in my opinion this should have been at the forefront of the campaign early on and should have been much more accented but our great media would have done worse to Sen McCain that what they are doing.
I am not sure why you don't think Sen Obama's ideaology and associates that give credence to that radical thinking is not important and if brought up is negative. That to me, makes no sense at all.
