I think McCain's performance was very disappointing. <BR/><BR/>The desperate tone of his campaign and the nasty rhetoric he and Palin are resorting to has only served to move more people into Obama's camp. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the next Flickr group meeting.

It was equally puzzling to him why news analysts thought the second McCain-Obama debate was a tie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149143459060182122.post-78966006324843504302008-10-07T01:18:00.000-03:002008-10-07T01:18:00.000-03:00Hi Dave, Good to have you back home...as for the P...Hi Dave, Good to have you back home...as for the Palin thing, lost all interest in McCain, not that I was ever a fan :)!!!<BR/>However the gossip rags being paraded day and nite in front of my nose, could have the opposite effect on me; I will never vote for Obama. and McCain can get lost. He could open a Buick dealership in Mongolia and manage it in person, and never come back to bother us again.<BR/>he he he.....<BR/>...welcome back kid.<BR/>Ed.Capt. Edward S.
