Is anyone else watching Frontline?
I know it's a half hour in, but put it on if you can.

It's about Obama and McCain, and right now the Obama portion is incredible.

Watch the replays if you can.

3. So far so good
Footage from Barack's days at HLS, and a scathing anecdote about his first note to Senate aides....

Frontline rocks.

9. it's really fascinating
even the part on McCain is good. I've never seen the video of him talking from his hospital bed before. His voice seemed so tinged with pain.

11. I think they both seem oportunistic.
But, it's very interesting.

18. I wish they would re-broadcast this several times before the election
It's balanced, it's very critical of both people, very very in-depth.

I think this would put Obama over the top for 88% to 99% of Americans.

This is amazing, McCain screwed around, with women, with his personal life, with Keating 5, but this shows him as being just a fault-filled Senator.......who went on to run for the Presidency AGAIN in 2008.

! This is TOTALLY FAIR on both of them, no candidate is perfect, just choose the one with more smarts.

That's what I do.
