This should have been more fun, I think. You’ll just have to imagine the times — I know I did.
- McCain sounds very grandfatherly. My grandfather was always tired and more than a little cranky and repetitive, too.
- Why self-impose a time limit if neither one of you can follow it?
- This sounds a whole lot like Bush Sr.’s “No new taxes” speech, Mr. McCain.
- Any second now McCain’s gotta snap and call Obama a liar. Waiting… waiting…
- “I’ll answer the question, Tom.” Which makes McCain/Palin a truly balanced ticket.
- …and still, not answering the question at all.
- Obama sounds thoughtful and collected. McCain sounds creepy. “Want some nuclear candy, little undecided voter?”
- $10 says Brokaw will snap first…
- But, Senator Obama, is healthcare a commodity? … Never mind. Y’all are on a straight talk express. Sigh.
- “Well, maybe this healthcare candy will get you into my van…”
- @McCain – I’m math kinda guy and I can’t follow your healthcare numbers.
- I’m probably one of the few really moved by the fact that Obama just admitted that he doesn’t understand everything. I like that.
- Mmmm. A non-answer from Obama. And the McCain Doctrine? “Ah, whatever the other guy wouldn’t do.”
- Eep. McCain’s hero had Alzheimers. Probably while in office.
- Wait – is it Reagan or Roosevelt?
- The strategy in Iraq worked? The people supported us being there? Maybe McCain has Alzheimers, too. Just like my cranky granddad.
- If he knows how to get bin Laden, why hasn’t he shared that info with Bush and Petraeus? Geez, John, you gloryhog.
- Losing McCain’s Russia talk in favor of HDTV digital picture interference. Yawn.
- Ah! more “fuck the UN!” talk. And then appeal to the alpha male. And oooooh… Holocaust. Check, Senator Obama…
- Good response- encourage talking AND work in your energy platform. Diggin’ it.
- Peggy from Amhearst wins question of the night. Obama: circumvents the question. Damn. McCain: a little clumsy, but at least on topic. Damn.
- Final thoughts: … wait, whaddya mean it’s not over until November 4th? *really*?
