So who won? I missed the debate...sounds like it was another tie so far. A tie is a loss for McCain though. Good to see Obama is playing it cool. It seems to be a pretty effective strategy, as McCain is wearing himself out and it makes him seem more erratic, which is a quality the GOP tries to pin on Obama.

 go to cspan's website. they have the vid up there. Or you can watch my running commentary a few posts up.... ;)

CNN is replaying the debate now.

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

This debate was marginally entertaining, but I did not learn anything that I did not know beforehand. It is only a few weeks until the US has its first minority president.

Even the Fox News focus group thought that Obama won:



Tremble on 16 October 2008

Well Obama won the debate, and he's about to win the election if nothing wrong happens! I think that mccain was pretty bad last night. I can't imagine a european politician calling the average guy "joe the plumber", it's ridiculous IMO. But well, I'm happy for obama, he'll be a good president, and I'm also happy for the american people who'll finally get rid of bush and the republicans! Go obama, go!

Here's the real deal - most undecideds aren't thrilled by McCain's vicious attacks. They go the other way. With folks losing $$$ in their 401ks, AIG spending taxpayer $$$ for a $68K hunting trip for their top customers and recession the new October surprise, folks are taking Lee Iaocca's advice and KICKING THE BUMS out.

I watched the debate and saw a man more pissed off by Obama being pres than him being excited about being pres. McCain is a defeated man who *may* make up ground, but really can just try his best to distract from the real issues and resort to personal character attacks to get noticed. It's sad watching his legacy descend this way.

Expect McCain/Palin to throw the foreclosed house at Barack. Won't matter. They can try again in 4 years.
