This video does provide some close-up views of Barack that give more insight to his character.<\/p>\n<p> If you can find a better video, let me know and I will add a link to it. The important thing for me is hearing what the candidate says and how he or she says it. Critiques by talking heads add little value. In fact, WRAL showed their bias against Obama in the same way that CNN, NBC, etc show their bias against McCain and Palin.&nbsp; A pox on all their houses. If this continues, TV news may follow the newspaper industry into the dumpster.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4rxdx5\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sarahatthevillages_2\" title=\"Sarah Palin speaks at the Villages\" src=\"http:\/\/ripples.typepad.com\/photos\/uncategorized\/2008\/09\/21\/sarahatthevillages_2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> Sarah Palin was also on the campaign trail on Sunday.
