One of the most moving parts of President Obama's speech for me was his reference to a letter written by Ted Kennedy months before his death. For some reason, I just knew Ted Kennedy would write Obama a letter to be delivered after his death. It just seemed so within his character to do so, in order to make one last push in pursuit of his life-long work.

For those unfamiliar with the current affairs of Republic Windows & Doors here is a short summary:

The manufacturing company produced doors and windows primarily for the residential construction industry. Due to the severe decline in the construction industry, sales at the company dropped dramatically. Bank of America cancelled its line of credit due to the downturn at the plant.

Deputy campaign managers for the Obama and McCain campaigns see the silver lining in the long extended primary battle. But, I hold the same attitude I had during the primary. Never again.

My mom is an evangelical and she voted for Bush in 2004. When I learned of this, I was horrified. I had just came back from Florida working as a volunteer and drove to her house the next day. I was already feeling totally deflated, but the nail in the coffin - my own mother voted for Bush. I cannot even describe the anger I felt. I had not talked politics with my mother before then. In fact, I had not discussed politics with my mother for quite some time, perhaps years. So, I had no idea that she had switched party affliation. Tears of anger is all I remember about that day.

McCain and his failed campaign are running their last mile peddling fear - sad. As opposed to ending his campaign with a sense of dignity, McCain throws the last grenade and hope it hits a valuable target.

We hear Sen. Joe Biden's words, and we see tanks, ships, marching terrorists, Chavez, Ahmadinejad -- then a cut to black: "It doesn't have to happen. Vote McCain." (It's 3 am, and we think we're meant to smell daisies.)

There's not far to go beyond this -- and plenty of questions about whether this is too late, if not too little, or too irrelevant (Dow futures down 550 points Friday morning).

After I read the first paragraph of the Indystar interview of Palin, I thought it was snark. No, it is not snark, just Palin. I guess Palin was practicing for her appearance tonight on SNL because her responses are a laugh.

The Swamp is reporting that a former banker has filed a lawsuit alleging that he was fired because he unveiled "shenanigans with the paperwork" of Barack Obama's home.

The GOP has jumped on the story and are using the story to tie Obama to Rezko again.

Not until tonight did I see John McCain as someone who is truly a snob. Maybe I am slow to the party, but I am finally there. Each debate McCain has come out with a different formula to take it to Obama. Tonight he focused on Big Government while at the same time suggesting an array of his own big programs. McCain exhibited his usual rigidness and unease. In fact, he seemed like he was going to crawl out of his skin when he brought Ayers to the forefront. But, McCain seemed to feel most comfortable talking about Joe and his business. During a time in which small businesses are hurting under a down economy, John McCain seemed most elated welcoming Joe into the rich persons club. "Congratulations Joe, you are rich" You are one of us.

The Blue Coalition is a group of conservative Democrats who currently have a 49 person membership in Congress. According to WAPO their numbers are expected to expand after the election and they could pose a significant road block for Obama and his economic plans. The Coalition is seen as a very powerful block so Obama called each member to set some ground rules early.

Obama is a leader who leads by example. He is not afraid of grass-roots participation as demonstrated today.

The Obama campaign plane, with "Change We Can Believe In" on the fusilage and the Obama logo emblazoned on the tail, landed at 2:50 p.m. at Toledo Express Airport. On hand were Lucas County sheriff’s deputies and Ohio state troopers, as well as campaign and airport staff, and media.

After leaving Toledo Express, the Obama motorcade went to a neighborhood in Holland, off McCord Road. Mr. Obama then began knocking on doors and talking to residents

As everyone knows, McCain has been going around lying about Obama and a faint association with William Ayers.

FactCheck.org has condemned McCain and his campaign for its ridiculous over the top ads:

FactCheck.org conclusion

Voters may differ in how they see Ayers, or how they see Obama's interactions with him. We're making no judgment calls on those matters. What we object to are the McCain-Palin campaign's attempts to sway voters - in ads and on the stump - with false and misleading statements about the relationship, which was never very close. Obama never "lied" about this, just as he never bragged about it. The foundation they both worked with was hardly "radical." And Ayers is more than a former "terrorist," he's also a well-known figure in the field of education.
