Let me back up a moment, maybe Obama did have an earthworm moment, if not reptilian when he said "Michelle." If I were a boxer, I would hate to have Michelle as my "cut man" sending me back in, round after round, to be beat senseless.

I can almost hear her pumping Barry up for his debates with McCain -- "What are you, a man or mouse? Squeak up!"

p>Seventy eight more days. And the caterwauling begins. Actually it began at Saddleback. Next day, the claim was "Fix!" br> -- Diane Smith /p>

I agree with Jeffrey Lord's limb-perched August gamble that McCain is our 44th. However, while the dice may happen to rebound off the cushion and find McCain's money correctly bet on the pass line, it's because Obama is an empty suit, not because Rush Limbaugh has a hot hand or the Silver Surfer got worked by a gnarly wave.

p>B.O.'s got the contrived graces and the fumbling, uh, pleasantries of evasive answers, but I think people are just now twigging on the fact he's got no clue what he is talking about. I predict he will eat lots of waffle as the Presidential Brief gets read to him every day. As for me, I'm praying when that phone rings at 3 a.m. that it's not the Commissioner, because the Caped Crusader show is over. Stay tuned for Maverick. br> -- Carolyn Branson br> Los Angeles, California /p>

I think Jeffrey Lord's piece nailed an element of the real American psyche. Maybe living in a testosterone laden world of Devil Dogs half way across the world has blurred my political sensibilities, but I don't think so. Since 1976 I've picked the Presidential winner every time despite being a lifelong Republican and conservative I've had the integrity to admit when we were beaten.

The last 2 Democrat Presidents had to act like moderate Republicans and at times conservatives to win (Clinton and Carter). Once the cojone-less Carter faced a real man he was toast. Had we run someone other than Dole with some punch Clinton would have been a one term President despite the polls and media hype. Like him or not, McCain has punch.

Who will America elect the man who supports winning in Iraq or the man who leads a party setting up a secret prison in Denver to incarcerate Americans while wanting to free Muslim terrorists at GITMO? Who will American's elect a man ready to kick the Russian bear in the crotch or a cabana boy ready to play Jimmy Carter and bend over for a former KGB thug? Who will America elect a man eager to face his opponent in town hall meetings or a man afraid to confront his challenger man to man? Who will America elect someone prepared to lead or a whiner who when he reveals his ineptitude claims the other guy cheated? Who will American's elect a real American hero or a guy who pouts that he's patriotic and tough too?
