On the subject of Florida, have you seen the Sarah Silverman’s “the Great Schlep”? It’s meant to get young Jews to visit their retired Floridian parents and convince them to vote for Barack. (http://www.thegreatschlep.com)

Obama is not singularly against nuclear, but he puts it in the same boat as oil. A couple of times bills have come up in the senate to expand the number of nuclear plants and he’s voted against them…and that’s one thing that I like about him: he is pushing to develop newer technologies and not rely on the old to get by.

That’s tied to America returning to global leadership AND further development of our economy.

Industrial Revolution->Information Revolution->Clean Energy Revolution.

And yes, you’re right when you say that McCain’s “economic solution” is too blunt: fire the SEC chief, put a freeze on spending, and give everyone a tax break…especially that top 1% who really need it.

What’s interesting to me is that top 1% that Obama would tax and McCain would give the lion’s share of tax breaks to actually support Obama. That’s a VERY good indicator of who they think will improve the economy that they depend on.

And actually you were wrong about one point: I do remeber hearing Obama say that he was not opposed to Nuclear power. He probably wasn’t as for it as McCain was, who was basing his entire energy “plan” off of it, but he was still for it.

The one thing that really ticked me off about the debate was the spending plans. McCain, the supposed maverick of stopping spending, proposed a freeze in spending. See, spending is bad in some instances, but like Obama said, you need to use a scalple, and not an ax. Some spending bills are very important not only to the function of the country, but to developing the country and making things such as social security, healthcare, and dare I say, mortgages better. Obama proposed a fine inspection of the spending, looking at where every cent is going, and weeding out all of the useless christmas tree ornaments and the useless bills, or bills helping people not needing help.

My favorite point: Obama’s breakdown of McCain’s tax cuts, and how McCain will supposedly have $300 billion tax cuts (How can we afford that?), but it will really only apply to large companies and fortune 500 CEOs. Obama’s cuts apply to the working middle class, and 95% of americans, and most small businesses. His plan appeals not only to Democrats, but I’m sure to many republicans too. Something that I believe will decide who wins.

Ok, that was my shpeal.
