Cindy McCain will get over a $577,000 tax break under the McCain plan. Under Obama’s plan an older couple like my husband and I who are 65 year olds with $40,000 in income will see a tax reduction of $2197…nothing from McCain. Check out the tax calculator on barackobama.com to see what it means for your pocketbook. Vote Obama! Bring snacks for the long lines, folding chairs if you need them...and your patience!

Our governor has more energy policy knowledge and ideas than Sarah Palin. There are only eight major centers of population in Montana and seven of those are reliably democrat. Three of those are quite liberal (and yes, they are "real" America). In my town there are more Obama/Biden signs and bumper stickers than McCain/Palin by a margin of 5 to 1. We are working very hard to get Sen. Obama elected here in Montana. Montanans do not fall for B.S., we have enough B.S. from our cows, which outnumber people! We really don't fall for lies and vitriolic rhetoric here. We are not a racist state and we truly believe in hope.

Seems the Alaskan taxpayers are a bit peeved that you spent 21K of their tax dollars flying the kiddo’s around the country on their dime, especially, now that it has been revealed the kiddos were not invited and in one case, not wanted at the event. Seems that most popular governor title is also in jeopardy, latest poll shows you down to 60% from 80%, but of course, no one can take that Miss Wasilla title away from you.

They have brought some of their attitudes with them, and have had an influence on people who already live there, the result is a melding of libertarian thinking and sensitivity to more urban economic issues that are becoming relevant in that area. The Republican party risks becoming basically a southern regional party, unless they start listening to what people want from their representatives.
