Thursday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

19 days. We're in the homestretch.

Obama did win all three debates. He was presidential and Americans are in desperate need of new leadership. The Republicans have made a mess of the country -- and John McCain was one of George Bush's biggest enablers. McCain's campaign actually thinks one line at the debate will change that.

It is obvious many of the t.v. talking heads still love John McCain. Last night and this morning, some still wanted to think McCain won the debate -- or were trying to convince themselves. They're looking at this election through the prism of previous elections. This one is different. People are looking for a strong, steady leader. They see that in Obama. McCain reinforced the perception that he's angry and erratic. His pals in the punditry may not see that, but voters do.

So, 19 days...let's get moving.
