Because when you’re debating someone, rule number one is to keep your cool. If you lose your temper you lose the audience. It may have felt good to yell something, but it made our side of the debate look bad, and that doesn’t help us to persuade people. He didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. But persuasion is about more than yelling at the top of one’s lung. He screwed up, because now all that is going to be talked about is the Republican’s lack of civility, rather than the inane speech or the bad healthcare proposal.

I bet you voted for McCain in the primaries. JESUS, CAN OUR PARTY GROW A PAIR? EVER!?

No, I didn’t vote for McCain in the primaries. I didn’t vote in the primaries, because I wanted to vote for Thompson but he dropped out because my state held primaries.

So there goes that theory.

Wars are not lost because one side doesn’t have enough “balls”, they’re usually lost because one side didn’t have a good plan.
