My personal feeling is that we need more positive ads from Senator Obama (with only a few negative ones or none at all!).
I thought his speech recently on healthcare to be one of his best. Also liked the Boss's speech in Philadelphia.
More such speeches needed. Good luck senator today at the 2nd debate.
When prompted by Keith Olbermann if the McCain and Palin were lying about his record, instead of saying a simple yes, we got this real long policy speech.

I am getting a little tired of senator Obama's nuanced answers instead of being blunt and honest. The only place he seems to say things with some gusto are on the campaign trail on the morning after the attacks. This won't cut it in either the debates or elsewhere. I am quite discouraged and this may be the beginning of the end of this campaign!
Please, senator Obama, stop the long winded list of policy differences. Keith even gave you obvious hints that you should be using simple catch phrases:
'Are you better of today than you were 8 years ago'.
'McCain and Palin will say anything to win'
'If McCain and Palin cannot say the truth about their opponent, how can you believe that they will uphold the oath of office to obey, protect and defend the constitution'
Stop beating around the bush Senator Obama- stop giving the excuse they need to open the hood and kick the tires. The media has examined you for over 19 months. Gov. Sarah Palin gave a thirty four minute speech and she was already one of them by the end of the speech and definitely so by next morning! You got to start hitting them hard or it is all over. You need to show some emotion, it is time to be assertive NOW. There is no point in showing assertiveness/anger in the senate when this is all over. Americans want to see some spine from you not wishy-washy policy responses. Call it as you see it immediately. Don't wait to mull over it overnight.
We need to fight back hard on the republican effort to belittle Senator Obama's community organizing efforts.
Some examples of what community organizers have accomplished:
1. Mohandas Gandhi: Freedom for India from the British
2. Martin Luther King: Eequal rights for all peoples in America regardless of race, creed or ethnicity
3. Nelson Mandela: Freedom from apartheid in South Africa
4. Senator Barack Obama: empowering ordinary folks via the largest internet community, for the first time in the history of presidential elections, in an unprecedented manner, to take part and become invested in an election and a candidate resulting in the nomination of the first biracial candidate!
By belittling community organizing, the republicans have demonstrated their callousness and contempt for ordinary and everyday Americans to selfless service and self empowerment.
I hope the campaign will put forth ads to call out the republicans callousness, contempt and hypocrisy.

See through the end until the credits and find out how much each vote cost.
Very depressing!
I give up-virtually no one is for defending and protecting the constitution/bill of rights.
A sad day for America!
