Looks like Obie learned his lesson. Not only did he not say “John is right” once (although McBush DID say it one time about Obie), but he DOMINATED McBush in last night’s debate.

The little “opinion graph” under the picture on CNN showed Obama pegging the redline many times among the undecided voters (both men and women); McBush’s reception was tepid at best.

Why is it that McCain never responded to any of Obama’s shots at him? Because they are true, based on fact. On the other hand, Obama had to frequently counter McCain’s falsehoods. Although he was forced to waste time, doing so, he still had plenty of time left to make a cogent case.

I appreciate the CNN coverage, but I’m disappointed when I hear that they find Obama is not an inspiration. I think that the president needs to present a clear plan, demonstrate a reliable, calm and responsible approach and work for Americans. He is not an entertainer. I was inspired because I appreciate his outlook and attitude. I appreciate his preparedness.

He does not insult the American public by suggesting that a person who graduated bottom of his class from military college would be adequate to lead such a great country. He does not insult us by choosing a running mate in a snap decision –a woefully ignorant person.

Obama does inspire. If elected, he will be the greatest president the U.S. has ever had.

You can support a candidate and still see the flaws in their public speaking technique. You can bet his media relations people have already coached him on this and he won’t do it next time.

skip the polls, skip the pundits, check the various parimutuel betting sites and futures markets and see where people are putting their money if you wanna know what people really think.

>>stinkers like saying “John is right” 50 times

Come on. You’ve been watching McBush’s attack ad too often.

Anyone who watched the debate knows that when Obama said “John is right” (and he didn’t say it anything close to 50 times), he was just being polite. “John is right” on some minor technicality, but he went on to point out how he was completely f&cking delusional on the main point.

The only criticism of Obama that sticks is that he didn’t pay enough attention to slime tactics (like the Swift Boat Liars) in the last election.

He won’t be making that mistake again.

>>Obama’s ritualistic invocation of early

>>funding is a reminder, of the immaturity of

>>more!)

And this differs how, in principle, from the Wall Street Welfare Babies? The billionaire CEOs and their golden parachutes?

Everybody wants something. Government has to do SOMETHING with all the money they have. And at least Obama’s plans benefit Americans in some way, unlike the continuing hemorrhage of money into incompetent, overpaid Wall Streeters and CEOs lining up for government Food Stamps.

The pundits have to be liberal so they called it even. People who like Obama think he won. Pundits who have to keep their jobs call it even. Everybody else knows McCain won. Business as usual.

eh
Murdoch leans liberal, as can be seen in the contributions to liberals by Newscorp.

It amuses me that the parent company of Fox News puts more money to Dems, and the Fox News arm gives more money to Republicans (mind you the contributions by Newscorps are way larger than the contributions by Fox News, they don’t balance out).

I mean look at this:

All the Drudge poll tells me is that a lot more Republicans probably read that site the Dems.

Also, I think the pundits score it a draw despite polling data because Independents skew Dem (and aren’t as likely to vote) so all the data was in conformity with what is typically shown. Not breaking expectation is a draw.

No one should’ve really thought a KO blow would land, either. It could happen in the VP debate, but it wasn’t going to happen in this one. Their both far too crafty to make a big mistake.

Media pundits make more money if the race is tied.

Yes McCain’s spending offer is intriguing. Will he change his economic plan to reflect this freeze?

McCain’s current plan is more expensive in that it adds more to the deficit than Obama’s. “Senator Obama’s plan would add $3.3 trillion to the national debt (including additional interest costs) while Senator McCain’s plan would add $4.3 trillion.”

I thought that McCain did well in the debate even though I was very impressed with Obama ( and already lean that way). But afterwards the pundits were pointing out factual errors that McCain had made. so it surprises me that now it is seen that the pundits rated it as a tie.

BTW, the posting style of this article is odd. It is in quotes with no direct reference where it came from. There is a link inside the quote itself. I did a google phrase search to understand that the link went to the same place.

In her place I appoint Rudi Giuliani, who has been colicky his whole life.
