Live Blogging the Pain and Suffering of Another Presidential Debate
9:10 pm - Jeez, I never realized what a smartass John McCain is. Within the first minute of his first remarks, he said it was good to finally see Sen. Obama at a town hall meeting, with a smirk. He is a true red Republican. Sarcasm and belittling–that’s a strategy I can believe in.
9:15 - Wow, Sen. Obama just actually answered a question that Sen. McCain answered with talking points. But actually answering questions doesn’t seem to be the measure of debate performances these days.
9:18 McCain again tries to cover his gaff about the “fundamentals of our economy” being “sound” by stroking the “American Worker.” If the American Worker is so productive and the best in the world, why are all our jobs going overseas?
9:25 McCain is all revved up about alternative energy. Too bad he keeps voting against it.
9:46 McCain is going on and on about Obama’s tax plan. Here’s an idea: let Obama talk about his plan–you talk about yours. Deal? Oh. You don’t have one.
9:41 Another smartass comment from McCain. “Tom, I’ll answer the question.”
9:44 Nuclear energy is clean? Really?
9:53 I love watching the uncommitted voter graph on CNN. When Obama speaks, it goes to off the top of the charts. When McCain speaks, it flat lines or sags. It gives me hope.
9:55 McCain admits he could use a hair transplant. He is very old. And senile.
10:03 Jeez, Obama keeps answering the questions. What is he thinking?
10:06 My friends…My friends. Mr. McCain, you are NOT my friend.
10:11 McCain brings up his BFF Teddy Roosevelt again. I think he must have gone to school with him.
10:13 Obama insists on a follow up. McCain says if he gets one, I want one. Republicans. So selfish.
10:19 Patraeus. Patraeus. Rock me Dave Patraeus! John McCain is in love.
10:33 Time to play the Prisoner of War card.
10:36 Well, Sen. Obama clearly won. Now I’ll watch all the analysts tell me how Sen. McCain won.
