Thre was asubtle remark made by Sen. Obama that was overlooked by everyone.It was when he said softy”I don’t mind paying alittle more in taxes”That tells a lot
Like I said before the debate started: All McCain has to do is plant a few seeds and start a narrative tonight without beating Senator Government over the head.
Then let the campaign ads and rallies do all of the heavy lifting in the last few weeks.
He scored on this bombing run. Regardless of what the pundits say. He’s planted the seed of Barry as a far left hack job.
Now he just has to finish him off. Even then, it’ll be a hard won victory. But a win is a win. McCain can pull this off.
He energized his base tonight. Just read FreeRepublic.
good points...I believe the $160 million in ads for the last few weeks should do the trick.
In the way that, say, Jimmy Carter was presidential.
People seem to think that one is "presidential" if they wait their turn in a debate.
I went into this expecting nothing and couldn't get over what a WUSS Obama sounds like. No wonder women are going for him, they seem to like neutered men these days, don't like "personal attacks" and hate women who are good looking ala Palin.
I did not watch the debates because I feel its not a good representation of who is a better person to be elected to office, I can agree it has some merits but its like looking at a schoolyard fight and picking the winner by how much he bleeds.
To me it all boils down to the persons history, there is obvious reasons why McCain is better suited for Presidency and obvious reasons coming from out of the woodwork every day why Obama is not qualified.
Circumstantial evidence will win the election, we are giving Obama a rope and as the saying goes...
“I believe the $160 million in ads for the last few weeks should do the trick.”
The NRA is going to let loose too.
well said.
the emasculated man wins voters in leftyville.
good post....this debate was the first I liked
but ...I swear....Ihave public speaking experience
I modestly believe I could best mac in a debate...he simply refuses to close and hammer
he just gets in his pokes and then grins and quits
when Obama declared a surviving abortion was an “infant”...damn what an opening....missed
that was just one several
and why he leaves Wright....Obama’s biggest vulnerability off the table kills me
Huckabee or Gingrish would have already put Obama away debate wise...
now it’s up to turnout, the RNC, Sarah and the 527s or Obama screwing up.
McCain rocked.
He took the fight to Obama and Obama was defending the indefensible.
Joe the plumber has exposed Obama for what he is.
This nation owes that man.
McCain made sure the nation knew what Obama told him.
Obama tried to dodge what he said. But he cannot.
It’s on tape for the country to see.
Talk radio will be on fire in the morning.
CHARGE!
Is the $160 million in ad money true? Granted I live in Northern Cali but for the past few days all I see are 0bama ads.
Up until now I haven’t seen really any ads by either candidate, but it seems to be a lot of 0bama.
Is McCain waiting until there are 2 weeks left?
I am so tired of being told one thing during this election, getting excited or hopeful, and then finding out it was not true.
The quality isn't optimal as I only had tools/time/skill to make an animated gif of my concept and my software for that left a few smudged words. PLEASE, someone with better ability make this into a YouTube video or pass it along to McCain to make a commercial along this line. I'm going to mail it to Rush and Hannity, where it may or may not get noticed. McCain has a GREAT health care plan, but as Rush says it's hard to explain numbers with just words. I think average folks can understand something like this and I think it can fit into a 30 sec web or TV ad. Obama is hammering his health care lies. After people see this Viagra couldn't keep him up.
I missed the original airing of the debate (go Phillies!) and just watched the replay. Wow. Obama absolutely killed himself with that looking down and chuckling routine while McCain was speaking. He did that several times. I have never seen that before from a candidate. The arrogance was so thick in the air you could cut it with a chainsaw.
Whew....
Watch McCain surge after this performance.
Didn’t mean to sound like a downer in my last post. I believe McCain kicked butt tonight.
I just want to see some shock and awe in the ads soon.
This pic needs a boat anchor (nautical theme) around the neck.
Good notes. I think a lot of people were hoping McCain would overplay his hand here. I was watching the debate on NBC (I think... maybe ABC) and they had their fact checking guy who came up with McCain mispronouncing Joe Plumber’s last name (groan), but THEN I was SHOCKED. They actually SAID OBAMA LIED ABOUT HIS DEALINGS WITH ACORN. They fact checked him saying that his campaign donated $80k to them. I almost fell off the couch when I heard it.
It was right then that I realized that McCain had actually built a base to work with. ACORN and Ayers will probably be enough. I would like to see a mention of Odinga, but it’s hard for the public to wrap their head around Obama campaigning for a Muslim theocratic anti-Christian genocidal leader.
I was just straightening the kitchen, listening to the repeat of the debate on the radio. Without any visuals, I’d have to say that McCain sounds FAR better than Obama. Obama sounds more defensive and “careful” than I remembered from the first viewing.
I am thinking that if anyone read the transcripts only, it would be even CLEARER that McCain comes out on top.
However, it is apparent that Obama talks rings around McCain; he just keeps on blabbing and blabbing.
I agree with you. Now it is up to the rest of us to share with the world the followups to McCain’s points tonight.
I’d like to thank McCain tonight for giving us the line “Senator Government.” That phrase describes Obama perfectly! The slip was an honest one, and a correct one!
Send Senator Government back home!
Less Spending NOW! Lower Taxes NOW! McCain / Palin NOW!
