Change subject of debate

Both Senators Obama and McCain should insist that Friday's first presidential debate from Mississippi focus on the current economic crisis and how they would each deal with it rather than on national security, which is the scheduled topic...Obama had much "smaller than anticipated" turnout at event in Green Bay, Wisconsin...Joe Biden continues to be Joe Biden, fueling more rabid speculation that his gaffes are intentional to get him dropped from the ticket in favor of Senator Clinton. Yesterday he said "no new coal plants" in the US. Before that he called the latest ad of John McCain and the Internet, "disgusitng"...Eighteen percent of registered voters are still "undecided" as the presidential campaigns enter the final six weeks...CNN anchor, Campbell Brown, continues to "assualt" Sarah Palin. Last night she decried the McCain camp to "free Sarah Palin" from the perceived media blackout. Perhaps Palin is being shielded from the like of Ms. Brown because of bias? A new Washington Post/ABC poll out today has Obama with a 52%-43% lead over McCain which is quite a turnaround from McCain's 49%-47% lead after the GOP convention. Again, it will come down to the states and who can win 270 electoral votes. However, getting over 50% of the vote bodes well for Obama.

There are 41 days until the presidential election. And, it's been 2,767 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
