3. IF Obama can even get close to that populist message that Hillary reached; McCain is
doomed.

Hell Obama is already ahead when it comes to the economy.

5. He's making fun of the tire gauges
He said, "they take pride in being ignorant. Instead of making ads about Paris and Brittany they need to talk to energy experts."

18. Sort of.
I don't think it was planted, but the girl was reading a long complicated essay about economic policy. Sounds like it was from a Ron Paul fan.

23. Ok, I understand
When she mentioned the gold standard I did think of Ron Paul. That was a very long question. I was glad that he cut her off because that was a little inconsiderate. He did ask people to shorten their questions.

8. Obama is sounding completely assured on monetary policy
I'd like to hear McCain stumble through an answer to that question.

15. What is that Lou-Gherig's Bill the lady said Obama voted against?

Does anyone else have the details on the validity of her claim?

20. Read here...
This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by the Senate as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which bills are considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.

16. Big Media - Obama Aloof? Please. He Has The Crowd In Stitches
He's personable. He's talking about his own life experiences, and he is sounding moderate, rather than just reading off proposals. For example, responding to the single father, he was great in relating his experience with his father leaving him.

22. it's clear he means everything he says
contrast with McCain, who just recites whatever his staff has come up with for him. If he can remember it.
