I wish people would quit trying to buy into the character assassination of either of these men. After the election we have a far more honorable leader than we've seen since Bush I. |

Back to the original question, I never thought purchasing very expensive items was superior financially to a plethora of less expensive but quality items. This includes during good economic times. I'm not aware that the returns on the very expensive are better, and it's much easier to sell the cheaper items. Plus, a plethora is a mini-diversification, which you'll appreciate when one item sells less than you expect but the next sells more. If the one that sells less is the only one you got, you won't like that. |

I look forward to low-mid grade card prices declining so that I may purchase more...especially those that have become way overpriced the last few years...and out of my sensible reach. |

To those who slam Obama's affiliation with Rev. Wright and who are in love with Palin--she has some pretty scary religious affiliations herself. There are many many videos on Youtube with her giving talks at her evangelical church about the Iraq war being a mandate from God, and even getting a blessing from a travelling pastor to protect her from witchcraft. Unlike Sen. Obama, Palin actually takes an active role in these videos. Some of the things that Palin's pastor(s) say are on par, or even worse to that what Rev. Wright said. One difference though, Palin takes an active role in it. |

I think we need Obama to win so Sarah Palin can go back to Alaska and keep that eye of hers on Russia that she always has done, ya boys know what I mean? (wink,wink). Hope she does that 18 hours a day and gets her hubby to pick up those other 6 hours. I think it is much more important for those 2 to guard our Northern borders than for her to be VP. |

I've always contended and still contend that McCain was a superior candidate to Bush in 2000. We would be so much better off than the current occupant. Unfortunately, one cannot reverse time, and it seems day-by-day the election is passing McCain by. It's a shame too, if it weren't for right-wing talk radio like Limbaugh sabotaging McCain's candidacy in 2000, the world could be a lot better off. |

It seems like many who post so inteligently and rationally about cards, have an unnatural hatred of an Obama presidency. The guy may be liberal but he is undeniably intelligent and the guy is willing to flip/flop when he is wrong about an issue without looking like that dufus Kerry. See the drilling issue and his taxation policy if we are in recession for examples. |

Corey, Obama has said that the tax increase on the wealthiest Americans may have to be put off until the ship is righted. IMO when it comes to the economy Obama will handle that much better...I fear that John McCain will appoint Phil Gramm as treasury secretary which will just mean more of the same that got us into this trouble...you know it's all in our heads and we're just a bunch of whiners. |

Corey, of course you're right. When Barry was lectured during a Democratic debate that cutting capital gains taxes has actually raised revenue and raising the tax has lowered revenue in the past, he just prattled on about how the fat cats on Wall Street are not paying their share. |

I agree that Palin is probably unqualified for where she finds herself. I find it odd though that people are pushing her lack of meeting foreign dignitaries as something that makes her unqualified. |

Jeff, Tony Rezko is fair game and I'm a bit surprised that McCain hasn't been hitting harder on this issue than he has on Bill Ayers...nobody gives a crap about a 60's radical hippie. Far more to be found though in shady real estate deals. There probably isn't a Chicago politician alive that hasn't had some kind of shady business...going after Obama on a clear cut deal with a crook I think would stick more than some loose association with a 60's radical. |

Obama already has mentioned he won't be recinding the Bush tax cuts if the economy is in recesssion or trouble. He has mentioned that he will go forward with his tax cuts for the middle class either way. He has also mentioned that his unrealistic (my word) spending programs are very likely going to have to wait if he is elected. |

the article on voting 'present'. That's a bunch of crap if I ever heard it. Take a stance. Someone needs to disconnect all those little yellow 'present' buttons. Do we pay people to sit on their hands? Don't dilly dally around so you don't have a voting record for anyone to criticize. Same crap as saying when life begins is above your 'pay grade'. Have an opinion. Grow a pair. If you believe it's at birth or at conception or somewhere in between, spit it out..... |

Dan, I'm sure you'd also agree that Obama's constant championing of disenfranchised voters -- but then to have won his first election by doing the very same thing to his opponents -- is also disingenuous. |

Disingenuous then. 'Present' is B.S. The article you posted said that he voted 'present' even on things he supported????? Ever hear of 'YES' Barry (green one.........). Let's stick the 'Present' button in the Supreme Court. 3 for, 3 against, 3 present. |

Yes I would Jeff....like I said you're not going to find a clean Chicago politician. I still think he will be better for America than John McCain who also has a lot of moral failings in his life...this campaign being one of them. I sorely miss the John McCain of 2000 and to have surrounded himself with the same people who put out the racist smears against him in South Carolina - those same people who he said should have their own place in Hell is sad. If he'd just picked someone other than Palin as his running mate he may have gotten my vote...although his current plan for buying up bad mortgages is not my cup of tea. |
