1. Obama owes Oprah a big thank you?
I do not remember Oprah changing the tide...

This report was prior to Palin's acceptance speech. While I hope the repub's excitement levels remain flat, I do not think they have. They seem to love her, warts and all.

3. I agree...as if to say Obama couldn't have done it without her...
not. He is where he is, because of who he is, and not because of who endorsed him. Oprah had nothing to do with my decision to vote for him. In fact, I can't stand her.

2. In the first part of the piece McCafferty
casts doubt on the young voters actually turning out in November. I think he's wrong. I hope he's wrong. I can say that when I attend events for Obama (and I have done so in both Kansas and New Mexico) there are an astonishing number of young, as in under 25, people.

I also know from personal experience that the caucus in Kansas on Super Tuesday had LOTS of young first-time voters.

5. McCafferty?
Are you knocking one of our best voices in the mainstream media? Jack tells it like it is and doesn't care if he looks partisan in the process. I am glad we have Jack Cafferty on CNN pointing out how ridiculous the Republicans are every time they do something completely stupid.

6. I'm not knocking McCafferty.
I'm just pointing out that he may be underestimating the number of young first time voters who will turn out in November, that's all.

7. It's Cafferty not "McCafferty" I think that was the other poster's
issue. Thought you were doing it to mock him sort of like people do "McBush."

8. Oops.
I simply screwed up. Since I don't have a TV at present and only catch Cafferty's segments when someone posts them, I simply goofed. I admire and respect the things he says, and have no intention of mocking him. Thank you for correcting me on this.

10. Sorry. It was simply a misunderstanding.
I thought that you were tying his name in with McCain's to mock him as if he were simply a bull horn for the Republican talking points. I apologize.

4. Gee Sarah
Is becoming a "Celebrity" but they still can't get the enthusiasm to vote for her.
