Here's a place to tout your candidates' plans, accomplishments, talking points.
Just remember, Accentuate the Positive; Eliminate the negative!
Post a good speech by your candidate that outlines his/her plans; shows off their intellect or warmth. What other people have said about them and their character and abilities. In news print, blogs or video.

Remember we only have a few days left. Try to win over the opposition with your dialogue!

The American Promise



"This election has never been about me,it's about you"...Obama

Do you expect the same old politics of the past to produce different result's? I don't and that's why I support Obama. Is he the promised messiah? perhaps not but I believe America needs change and Obama may be the right man at the right time. For everything there is a season,a time for sadness,a time for joy,a time for war,a time for peace and last but not least...a time for hope!

This thread is intended for you to promote YOUR chosen candidate's ideas and issues.
Let's keep the critisism to other threads as much as possible.
The point here is not to get side tracked by negatives.
There's plenty of room to take an issue you see here and start a new thread of your own or add it to another one to discuss.
The news organizations are engaged in pointing out what they like to think are inneficiencies in McCain's and Obama's stances. We can tune in to hear that any time of the day or night.
You can use this thread any way you want to and I won't stop you. (except of course outside of guidelines of the forum in general).
I just hope it will be used for its intent which is to put forward messages and support of each of our chosen candidates.
