the Western world's economic system is collapsing before our very eyes.
And John McCain's response:
Bill Ayers.......Bill Ayers.....Terrorist......Obama.......Black........Bill Ayers .........Foreign.......Hussein........Bill Ayers....
American People: 401k down. Retirement savings gone. Pensions destroyed. ....anticipating job losses....recession......but oh yeah...
I dont believe that an American who cares about America, and is open to listen to both sides of the political debate....would opt for Jon McCain's America.
But remember this: this excludes those firmly in the camp of the Right: Evangelicals, high income earners, Low information voters...xenophobes, homophobes, phobophobes, etc......
Now, that narrows the voting pool significantly.
We must pick off the reasonable amongst us. And who would have guessed thatWomen are more willing to LISTEN to both sides than Men.
This is validated in polling. Most independents are women.
And who does Obama lead amongst? Women.
Look here:
Daily Kos R2K POLL:

WOMEN 35 58 1 2 2 2
Anecdote: My wife met a woman today from Ohio. She's no longer in ohio. But she's a Democrat. Her husband, a staunch republican. Hunter. Conservative. Economic/Cultural conservative.
This is emblematic of the future. Women hold the future of this country in their hands. Men are willing to flush it down the toilet.
And by women, I certainly don't mean Sarah Palin.
The most remarkable thing about this election is that , Despite Sarah Palin, women choose Barack Obama overwhelmingly. This is a credit to all women. Women have always been the peacemakers, the nurturers of our society. And now, they must nurture us all back to health.
