Nothing that I've seen so far from the McCain campaign touches on whether or not any aides with McCain were getting reports on their Blackberries or cell phones on the questions Obama was getting and then sharing them with McCain.

Nothing I have seen so far touches on whether or not McCain was getting information beamed into his brain by Space Aliens from Beyond the Moon!

If McCain cheated, there would be a conspiracy. McCain has said he played it straight, and everybody involved backs him up on that. Could he have cheated? Of course he could. Proving that it was possible nothing.

This is complete desperation on behalf of the MSM and I can hardly wait for Olbermann’s ranting later tonight... And to think, these fools are calling Hillary a sore loser.

McCain kick’s butt in one debate and now they’re scared to death that Barry isn’t going to be up to snuff when it comes to the real debates. Boo Hoo... How bad will these fools look when Barry loses in November? I suppose they’ll come up with some foolish reason for Barry’s loss, that of course, will have absolutely nothing to do with Barry.

What the heck is the big deal? It wouldn’t have changed any of their answers anyway.

The Obama campaign whines too much because they know they have a little runt of a candidate they have to make excuses for.

It is a given, accepted on faith by the Democrats, that Obama is smarter, more eloquent, and a better debater than any other person. Given the obvious fact that McCain rode him hard and put him up wet, they have to postulate all sorts of explanations for this turn of events. The fact that Obama is just not very good at this stuff will never occur to them, because it contradicts their assumptions.

What McCain was or was not doing while Obama was making a fool of himself is irrelevant.

Obama did it all on his own.

How is it McCain’s fault that Obama blew it?

When will it be announced that Tapper is an official member of the Obamarama campaign staff?

Even if both candidates had seen the questions ahead of time, McCain would still have won. Obama would still have hemmed and hawed at each question. He has no positions he can defend to an audience of Christians. Nuancing won’t help when the content is unattractive. Obama can add all the spices and fancy trimmings in the world, but his message is still fowl.

What they are suggesting?

That in the few minutes before he was on - he heard the questions in the car, then forumluled great answers to those questions and delivered those answered perfectly by memory a few minutes later?

"There's no reason we would do that,"

If you are concerned then here is my challenge to you. Do not compare Obama’s answers to McCains. Pretend that McCain was not even there Saturday night.

Just listen to Obama's responses to the questions. Start with question number one and take each question in turn concentrating only on Obama's responses.

Any takers?

What difference would it make whether or not the candidates were tipped off beforehand to what the questions were going to be? It wasn't like they had to have someone do a ton of research for them so they wouldn't look stupid. The questions were merely questions about personal belief and positions on issues.

The truth is, Obama either couldn't verbalize his beliefs and positions or was afraid to do so because he knows how unpalatable they'd be (or both).

The longer he and his team whine about this, the more attention they are bringing to Obama's dismal performance. So. . . let them keep it up for a few more weeks. ;)

Captain Kirk (star trek) — the ONLY cadet to ever pass the “Kobayashi Maru” test at the star fleet academy — when asked how he did it? Replied, “I cheated!... I don’t like to lose!”

Not that I’m a big McCain fan... but I’d rather have a President more like Captain Kirk than, uh, eh, uh, I mean, uh, Obama.

It is comical seeing the way the MSM is trying to cover for the annointed one’s idiocy. And yet they cannot understand why people mock them so and seek news elsewhere.

This morning, Laura Ingraham played the BO response to the Georgian situation. The statement had obviously been written for him. He stumbled through it. Somebody should teach him to proof read before getting in front of the mics. Contrast this with McCain getting off a plane, crossing the tarmac and speaking without a script. As far as I’m concerned this forum was THE presidential debate. The rest, face to face, won’t tell the American people anything we didn’t see on Saturday night. McCain won big time and nothing the MSM says can wash away the Dim’s pathetic performance. I don’t know or care about Rick Warren’s politics, but maybe we should all send him a “thank you” card.

Did the candidates have the questions in advance?

McCain - Yes! He has asked himself these questions a thousand times over.

Obama - No. These things had never occurred to him before.

Conclusion: McCain cheated. He even sounded like he believed what he was saying so he must have cheated.

How can you cheat at something when there is not right or wrong?? It’s not like they were taking the SAT. This was a question and answer session, the answers were the opinion of the person being asked the question. From what I’m reading Obama’s answers did’t cut it with the grown ups of the country. Now if he was speaking at a dorm keg party, maybe things would have turned out different. They really need to get over it, they sound like spoiled little brats.

quote from another site:

>Lucy and Ricky were slated to appear on a radio game show with a top prize of $500. Lucy happened to find the answers to the questions before going on air and memorized them, but the questions were changed at the last minute, making her answers quite wrong.

"How long is a term for a U.S. Senator?"
"The sap runs every three years."

"Why was Marie Antoinette put under the blade of the guillotine?"
"To scrape the barnacles off her hull."

So here's my challenge...Have another Q&A session with both candidates given 20 minutes to review the questions in advance. Have them both interview AT THE SAME TIME by different interviewers asking the same questions and then see how the Big-O does.
