How sad, I don't know many folks who only have one channel.

I think obama will reach out to mainstream voters. he will turn his back on the moveon extremists that got him where he is. I also think we will see a scripted hollywood production. maybe he can have some of the hacks I have never heard of from his music videos sing a song at the end.

Believe me, I will have no trouble "resisting." But then I'm not addicted to BO and I don't worship him like some of you sheeple do.

I don't know if people had seen this, but this is the framework for the 30 minutes spot:

) .. feature “the stories of four different Americans, or American families, and kind of what they’re confronting.”
) ...the stories would highlight “the challenges people are facing and what we should do in terms of solutions.”
) Mr. Obama would also share the story of his mother, “who struggled through her bout with breast cancer and the difficulty she had with her insurance company, to help viewers understand why his health care reform program is what it is.”
) It will also have a live component, featuring Mr. Obama at a rally in Florida.

Out of his own mouth he has come down to $200.000 or less and his running mate to $150.000.
That's why I wonder what the amount of income will be tonight? Seems to change all the time now. Perhaps he did vote to raise taxes on those who make $42,000?
I don't think Obama/Biden are really the change we need....

I expect to hear the same old blanking crap he's been spewing all along. The Obamaphiles will be bowing in front of their televisions.

No...no, don't get confused. Tonight won't be about solid numbers and facts. It will be all about FEELINGS!! Tug at those heartstrings!!

And the little McBush-ites will be pooing their pants at the crushing defeat. Either that or they are getting high with their used Mcbush depends while Obama uses his 30 minutes wisely.

The way Obama runs his campaign shows strength, smarts, smoothness vs McCain's erratic, dart throwing decision making, hit below the belt, all over the place fearmongering mess.

Now we know who has the ability to run the country. Obama easily manage and motivate legions at the grassroots level to canvass for him, while McCain can only incite violence and nastiness among his little McBush-ites.

What do I expect to hear? Nothing, I won't be tuning in. Frankly, I think this is a rather foolish "buy" for him. God knows, this campaign has run longer and costlier than any other and I think most people have election fatigue. There is nothing he can say that folks haven't already heard probably 10 times over so who on Earth wants to hear another 30 minutes of it? Interfering with the World Series -- probably a delightful escape from politics and bad news for many -- may be an unwanted intrusion.

There are still morons out there who think that the segment will cut into the world series? Even faux news reported that it won't.

McCain must have soaked his depends real well.
