I just heard about this CD and had to buy it:

I can't quite describe the feeling I have as I listen to it. It takes me back to Denver. I had planned to look up each of the songs we heard at Invesco and purchase them. This makes it so much easier...and provides a more extensive selection.
What other campaign have you ever known of that has this much unsolicited participation? This campaign and what they have inspired in such a variety of races, ethnicities, socioeconomic levels, and geographic areas helps me remember that the United States of America belongs to ALL of us.
Despite all of that, all in all, this is just good music.

What was your take on the presidential debate?
I thought Obama was strong in his responses at the beginning, when they were talking about the economy. I thought he wasn't as sure of himself when they moved on to foreign policy toward the end.
The thing I like most about Obama (which I hear in this cd) is his willingness and ability to think about and talk about what "we" can do. I heard a lot of "I, I, I" from John McCain on Friday night. That bothered me. (I felt the same way about Hillary, quite honestly). McCain constantly talks about what he did and how he survived the war. While I respect that, I don't think throwing that into the conversation qualifies him for president. And I hope we are not voting on the sympathy vote. I think McCain has a lot of experience and knowledge, but I don't think surviving a war is the experience and knowledge he should build his platform on.
The thing that bothered me most during the debate, however, was that John McCain never looked at Obama, even when Obama was directly addressing him. That still bothers me. I only heard one person address it. Stephanopoulos asked McCain directly on Sunday. I didn't think he gave a satisfactory answer.
