How many voters saw it, and how many will really know about it?

If Juan McCain gets whupped in the forest and there is no one around to see it, did it really happen?

Just my thoughts. Anyone on the ground there that can say if these debates are going to pay off for JD come the primary? Or is McCain's periodic, temporary jailhouse religion going to fool the jury yet again?

Yes it was. And in my opinion McCain has never been good at debate. He is Senator for only one reason and that's because of the sacrifice he made as a sailor/airman during the Vietnam War and his imprisonment. Without that he never would have made it. He's been a lousy Senator from day one.

But will it matter? Have we reached something here, for lack of a better word, I'd call terminal stupidity? By that I mean that even if a candidate like Hayworth beats the crap out of McCain, the voters either will not listen or will just press the McCain button anyhow out of habit. It doesn't matter how bad Hayworth beats McCain. The voters are so stupid and foolish that they will persists in behavior that is counter to their interests.

I believe we are at that point and I think we should heed the words of that old curmudgeon H.L. Mencken when the said (paraphrasing) that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American Public.
