If you don’t ask if anything you hear from the MSM makes sense your doing yourself a disservice.

I have become a much happier person since I applied that question to everything I see, hear and read. There isn’t a BS meter made that can capture the scope of the lies and contradictory analysis and opinions coming from the left.

The really important concern right now, with McCain, is how successful(or unsuccessful) the dems are in tieing him to the Wall Street crowd. So far, IMO, they have failed to do it. In fact, even the shill media polls show him picking up ground again this week.

The McCain/Onada debate will be the sledge hammer that will drive the dem pres. candidate back to the oblivion he came from. Speaking extemporaneously and against a clock will tank this guy. Dems can do all the debate prep they want, but I think McCain can easily take charge of the debate from the moment he completes the answer to the first “did you beat your wife today” question. And Palin handled everything the shill Gibson threw at her in the infamous hit interview.

Biden’s advantage in coming up with glib one liners is significantly negated by debate format as I understand it. Candidates are not supposed to be talking to each other, nor are they supposed to attack each others positions. The format is set up, I think, to make them talk about their individual positions. That’s always easy for pubbies—particularly conservative pubbies. Democrats can’t really say what their positions are because they would never get elected.

I’m not exuberently optimistic yet. But I’m moving from a pessimistic to cautiously optimistic outlook at this point. There are not that many days—40 or so—before we vote. It may come down to the last debate for the big shift to McCain occurs. But I think it will happen after the first encounter.
