- What part of that article speaks to Obama winning over the pro-military vote? - Stephen May 7, 07:09 4
  - [deleted] 1
    - ...oh -- nm - Stephen May 7, 07:48
  - I'm kind of surprised he doesn't already have it. He's used the military WAY more effectively than Bush ever did. - TWuG May 7, 07:12 1
    - Some in the Senate Intel Comm are saying the Obama surge in Afghanistan didn't work. - Mel Profit May 7, 07:15
- RE your B2 post about Obama's position on gay marriage: I agree with you that he probably supports it. - TWuG May 7, 06:50 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - I guess I see more room for attracting middle ground votes with an "evolving" position. - TWuG May 7, 07:04
    - If Obama wanted this election over in 2 weeks all he has to do is campaign on social values. Which are supposed to be the cornerstone to his plan. -- nm - MDH May 7, 07:02 2
      - "It's the economy, stupid" still applies. People will vote against social interests in favor of economic interests almost without fail. -- nm - TWuG May 7, 07:07 1
        
        I agree, but it's already been announced he's pushing social issues hard with independents, because he knows he wins them hand over fist with those. -- nm - MDH May 7, 07:26

      - like... - Mel Profit May 7, 07:23
      - i know what you mean. otoh, as a big fan of Whedon's stuff I'm super-jazzed that he's written and directed a big huge monster hit = $$$. -- nm - Diva May 7, 07:22 15
        
        What pleased me most is that it was actually a good story. Things felt like they happened organically, not because there needed to be an explosion or - TWuG May 7, 07:27 9

        and it's interesting in that it doesn't *feel* like one of his projects... - Mel Profit May 7, 07:25 4
        
        Having read his comics set in the Marvel universe (Astonishing X-Men and Runaways) was probably what impacted me more than the shows. (spoils) - Kim Pine May 7, 07:28 3
