Obamas Lead Narrows

[_JS]

If y'all can make Obama's speech tonight into Neil Kinnock's Sheffield moment, then this race could very well be turned on it's head.

How could we do that?

I think that BHO generally chooses his own words.

Have we been misquoteing him?

No. You're thinking of Biden's plagiarism of Kinnock.

Sheffield was where Kinnock threw a very un-British American-style rally while he was ahead in the polls. The people of the UK disliked it because 1) it was a huge rally with a lot of technology modeled after American political conventions, 2) Kinnock and Labour seemed to basically be celebrating their victory, and 3) it was flashy, foreign, and just not done.

I don't recall a presidential candidate addressing the nation like this, do you?

No Presidential candidate has had the amount of $$$$ to pull this off.  (so much for huge amounts of $$$ = easily corruptable politicians.  I guess that only applies to Republicans)

Don't forget Perot bought a LOT of primetime.

Yea, with his money largely.  Did it even come close to 100 million??

If this is "American style " why would we dislike it?

I did a couple of searches and came up with nothing on it.  I'll look some more and let you know.

He campaigned in 16 states and spent an estimated $65.4 million of his own money.
