- This story made me sick, but some of the comments are worse. It is all well and good for people to say, "oh you should have reported this, and done this, or that," when the truth is you are traumatized and not thinking clearly.
Obama Defeats McCain: Why am I Sad?
Wed Nov 5, 2008
- I am very pleased about Obama's win, but I am sad to see McCain in this position. He should have been the nominee in 2000, not Bush. Still, McCain made some bad choices, including letting his handlers force him to pick Palin.

Tue Sep 9, 2008
- I am happy to hear Obama is in Lebanon. I am originally from SWVA and it is good to see a presidential candidate take a real interest in VA and the great things happening in that particular town. More comes out of SWVA than coal and I for one resent the comment in the article about coal.
