Is McCain trying to dodge the debates? Is this supposed to make him seem more presidential? It's not like he knows about the economy, he has said so on many occasions himself.

I think he wants to cut a debate off Palin's sked. Note when he wants the debate rescheduled to. Yeah - that's right, folks - he wants to cancel a VP debate and reschedule his. He wants to give Palin a breather and help her out.

All political. So sad ...

Hay, TheSource, could you do a prediction thread on the candidates? I'd love to read one of your analysis.

I still can't believe Virginia would go blue. We'll see.

And has there ever been anyone elected president that didn't win Ohio?

John Hagee has just unearthed a new part of the Revelations of John:

The first angel sounded the first trumpet, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood. A storm of heresies, a mixture of dreadful errors falling on the church, or a tempest of destruction. The second angel sounded, and a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea; and the third part of the sea became blood. By this state of virginia some understand, the great barak was up five points.

I don't want to start a thread about this. But every poll online, including FoxNews, excluding Right Wing Blogger, has had Obama winning the Debate.

On a side note, George Wills was on the ABC post game, I still think it's funny to see someone that I grew up reading their ultra-con editorials laying praise on Obama. He hates neo-cons so much that he backs Liberals and Conervative Democrats. Seriously LOL.

Edit: BTW, on skill in the debate, I actually thought Obama was disappointing.  McCain is the stronger debater in my opinion, it's just most of the things he says are not what I think should be said or done.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Heres an interesting analysis.

The scorecard shows the debate for what it was - essentially a draw.
