Then why isn’t Obama up 20 in the polls? He has the entire media establishment lying for him, celebrities galore, etc.

Something is keeping Obama flat. We saw it against Hillary, and now McCain. I think Obama has an air of slipperiness that is causing pause in the electorate. People like to watch train wrecks called celebrities, but wouldn’t want them to have their finger on the (nuke) button. Why?

“McCain showed us he’s a socialist. We already knew Obama was. McCain’s just less so. I’m not voting for either.”

What is frightening are the number of people around here that think as long as you are pro-life and pro-gun you are not a socialist. Who are these people?

My favorite part was when McCain referred to Obambi as “This one” and pointed to him...priceless.

The rebuttal that would have rung Ubama’s bell:

“You know, folks, I always get a kick out of a liberal Democrat who rails on how big our national debt is. This from a man who has voted for a MILLION DOLLARS OF PORK SPENDING FOR EVERY DAY HE’S BEEN IN THE SENATE.”

If McCain wins, it will be nothing short of a miracle.

Then, it is kind of like chasing a jaguar. OK, once you catch him, what do you do?

If McCain wins, at least Obama has been stopped, but the next step will be to strip President McCain of all this socialist crap agenda he is spewing, and stop him COMPLETELY IN HIS TRACKS ON AMNESTY. Is it any wonder IMMIGRATION did not come up!? (The questions were whittled down, remember?).

My question is, will the GOP Conservative base and most of GOP in Congress stand up to him? We will have FREEP THE WHITE HOUSE like we did so many times in eight years ( /sarc ) against "W" whenever he did some kind of RINO/Government Largesse shenanigan?

A boring TV dinner version of the last debate, with stale stump speech jabs sprinkled on top.

Boring, didn't sit through the whole thing...

Entirely too much time was spent on selling bi-partisanship and extending arms across the aisle.

Puke.

My 24 year old son make an excellent observation regarding Obamasiah’s comments about McCain and Bush’s failed economic policies - that being “what other President in the history of this nation has faced as many economic, natural, and man made disasters (9/11, two wars, Korea, Iran, Russia’s invasion of Georgia, the numerous Hurricanes and flooding, and tornadoes, and a sunami, earthquakes, oil prices, mortgage failures, etc) in the time he’s been in office? Are the dimocRATS really expecting to blame all of these things on one man? Especially one man that the dimocRATS consider to be the dumbest man on the planet? And, why isn’t anyone out there making the point of what this President has had to face over the course of the past 7+ years, and the fact that he’s done a pretty good job, all things considered?

One thing at a time. Let’s get him elected first with more conservative Republicans in the Congress.

By the way, McCain did let Palin dish out some pretty intense lines on Obama this week. So give it time.

My impressions:

Boring.
Obama didn't take any chances and took a lot of McCain's positions before McCain could speak about them. Obama got far more time to discuss questions and McCain was frequently reprimanded by Brokaw for going over time.
Obama is still the most immature candidate we have ever seen. He just HAD to rebut some of the things McCain said even though he had no time left.
McCain did ask for equal time and I thought ‘it's about time’.
Obama had a much friendlier audience and Tennessee is more Conservative. They must have sought out Leftys to make Obama look good.

These are my thoughts tonight. I wish McCain had been more forceful. I know the MSM pundits will give Obama the win but I think the American people are getting tired of the Obama cheerleading by the Media. That coupled with being accused of racism if you support McCain will do in the MSM and Obama. At least I hope that is the case.

We already knew Obama was. McCain’s just less so. I’m not voting for either.

That means you are de facto voting for Obama.

Did this template work for us, Conservatives, in 2000, and then again in 2004?

We were told to get with the program with Bush because Kerry and Gore were so scary. We got millions of illegals and government largesse/high taxes out the wazoo regardless.

I have heard this plea before.

“...tonight’s “non-debate” debate was not, to quote a phrase, a “game changer” from Senator McCain – and frankly, I was hoping it would be.”

Sarah is the game changer. John is 72. He will be the steady hand on the tiller. Of coursse we wanted him to be a red-meat-eating game changer, but it aint happening.

One of the historical criticisms of Mac was his temper, and he is playing it calm. Sarah IS the pitbull with lipstick- mac is the voice of experience, of patriotism, of service. His reaching across the aisle stuff repulses us partisans, but may be precise music to the ears of the mushy middle, the people who have had it with polarized politics and radical differences. that’s his strategy.We’ll have to see if it a winner on Nov 4.

and this was no way an “undecided” audience. Not even close from the way the dials were being dialed in.. and six questions and two from blacks when 99% of all blacks are already for Obama.

No connection here: /sarc

Must-read on Islam connection AND hidden “sell out” AGENDA.

“Dr. Jack Wheeler at To the Point News lays it out for us and outlines a brilliant strategy for Obama, a Moslem in his youth with strong ties to Islam and that region. Interesting that Obama should sidle up to the agitator aligned with Islam.

Of course, Wheeler’s bold strategy is way over Obama Hussein’s head. Don’t expect any such “action” from the actionless but the story behind the Kenya bloodbaths leads to of all places ................. Islam.

Kenya’s Muslim population is roughly 10% - that historical tipping point where the Muslims traditionally assert themselves and their Islamic law (sharia) on the poor, unsuspecting host country.”
...
“And here is the biggest non-surprise: Raila Odinga has, in his own words, a “close personal friendship” with Barrack Hussein Obama Junior.”

J Q Public, do you see any hidden agendas in here??? OR is “just words, just speeches??? You decide.
Get the word out!!!

It drove me craze. i wanted to reach in the screen and wrench the microphone out of his grip so he would shut up. I really, really hope someone does and analysis of how long he talked tonight. I think it was at least 10 - 15% more than McCain..
