• AdLib : [smiley]! Thanks for the parting smile, Bito! Sleep well and see you tomorrow!

  • bito : Thanks everyone for joining us tonight and remember the last portion of the debate was brought to you by our sponsor: «link»

  • AdLib : Night!

  • SallyT : Good night to you, too, Adlib.

  • AdLib : Well, time to wrap up our Live Chat for the night! Take care Sally and rest well knowing the President had a strong night!

  • SallyT : I don’t buy it either.

  • AdLib : Sally – If that was true, why was Obama well ahead until the 1st debate? I don’t buy it. The undecideds are not issue oriented, they are all about the superficial which is what helped Romney in the 1st debate and hurt him tonight. Watch, you’ll see the pundits proven wrong once again.

  • SallyT : That is probably why Romney kept taking it back to the economy tonight.

  • SallyT : Their reasoning is the economy and Obama has said nothing about how to improve it.

  • SallyT : KQ, I have heard tonight many times, as you, that this debate probably won’t change anything and it will remain a tie or Romney staying ahead a little. I just don’t believe that. But, as I said earlier, the polls are still behind the last debate. So, how do they know that that one didn’t change things already.

  • AdLib : KQ – Yes but all they’re doing is inventing questions to ask. Add neutral questions to broad consensus that Obama won and you have a net gain for Obama.

  • AdLib : Makes sense. We have virtual legalization here in CA with medical marijuana and it hasn’t caused rampant drug use despite the fear mongering.

  • KQµårk 死神 : I of course make my own opinions. The only reason I read a breath of columns is to see how it could play to the public. Especially the naive public.

  • SallyT : We have Oregon Liquor Control and the state owns the liquor stores.

  • SallyT : It will be handle as our liquor and that should bring in 22 million dollars a year.

  • AdLib : Sally – That and the tax revenue from sales will be a boon to the state. And just make sense.

  • SallyT : That was in dollars the millions.

  • SallyT : That is one of the selling points, AdLib, that it will save the state between 1.4 to 2.4 million in convictions cost and prison.

  • AdLib : Well, looks like it’s about that time to wrap up our live chat for the night. Thanks Sally and KQuark for closing the bar with me! It was a very satisfying and invigorating debate night! Thanks to all for making it a great evening!

  • AdLib : Sally – And I’m rooting for OR to set the standard! De-criminalize marijuana and start undoing arbitrary laws as well as strike a blow against the prison industry.
