Yeah, but since all I watch is CNN and ESPN, that'll just leave me with ESPN!

Actually, I have started watching MSNBC lately.

... Poking my nose here one more time.
This is from Moody Church in Chicago, Erwin Lutzer, Pastor. Moody Church is affiliated with the largest Evangelical Bible school in the Midwest, the Moody Bible Institute. ( For Doug Spaulding's interest, it is Erwin Lutzer that debated Bishop Spong a few years ago! )

Can't seem to find the video link, even tho it says there is a video. (Maybe, it'll work on YOUR computer!). But here at least is the audio. Don't click on FULLSCREEN because if there is no video, you may have to use your escape button to get off that window.

Here, then, is a discussion on the current Political weather:

Yeah, that's what you say - I knew you couldn't really leave us.

I am familiar with the Lutzer debate.

Funny.

Well, it is.

The scene of the crime, indeed.

Right. I hope those doing the intimidating were arrested for such a disgusting stunt.

Idiots.

With the election running so close, is it possible for McCain to win the Popular Vote and lose because of the Delegate count??
Yep!

As of 10PM East Coast time, there was some 250,000+ votes between the two:
Obama: 20,444,080
McCain 20,170,509

Obama 26,813,033

When I look at the pictures of the crowds celebrating all over the world, I am reminded that I am proud of the USA for the first time in a long time.

Onward!

McCain conceded very gracefully. I'm proud to have him as a part of our government.

I was thinking of posting the same thing, but got caught up in President-Elect Obama's speech.

I was proud of McCain tonight too. He was the McCain of old again. And when the ungracious few in his crowd booed at the mention of the winner's name, McCain immediately silenced them.

By contrast, when Obama mentioned McCain's name, his crowd cheered. That's the difference in some people.

And now the work begins.

I'm making a rare visit to this thread to congratulate the American public (or 51% of them, last I heard) on their good sense in choosing Obama.

I happened to wake up at 4.20am GMT today, put the radio on and chanced to hear, live, McCain's concession speech. I didn't expect the election to be "over" so soon, but I was pleased to have been listening as history was made.

I agree that McCain sounded gracious in defeat, and his handling of the booing crowd was a credit to him. I thought Obama's speech caught just the right balance in recognising the historical import of his success, while also appreciating that he has one hell of a job ahead of him.

Nice to hear a view from another country.

I believe we're on our way to earning back some respect from the rest of the world now, as I think philnic's response is reflective of many many others.

One prejudice has been put down for all time, I hope, but another one remains. Equal CIVIL rights for those who are not of the straight sexual orientation - Gay and Lesbian right to a CIVIL marraige is still in doubt. We must get beyond this prejudice as well. There was a time when races could not inter-marry. Had that prejudice prevailed, there would be no celebration today for Barack Obama, the product of such a union.

What a breakthrogh it will be when a couple runs for high elected office and they are considered just a couple, not a gay/lesbian couple. Obama is the President of the USA, he is a first, but let's not call him a black president, or African-American, he is the best man for the task at hand, and he happens to come from a minority segment of the US population. I doubt that I will live long enough to see the next prejudice fall, but I hope so. Ray was 50 years ahead of us all on this one. He also wrote about the wonderful folks who came to Heber Finn's pub in Ireland as a group of rather gay people on vacation who then won over the locals with their charm and wit, showing that we are not that different under the masks of first-impressions.

Please all, learn to love your fellow man, what ever form or shape or sexual orientation he must follow by circumstances of birth. Yes we can and yes we will, eventually.
