Yes, I'm getting MTP and it's not pretty. TR and the D are all over the R, who can't even explain Dick Cheney's response in the veep debate, about Mary Cheney. Then Russert brings up the "I'm not concerned about Osama" line, which is also explainable. Nine out of ten freepers would be more effective than this guy.

Just saw on This Week with Step-on-all-of-us . Claire Shipman said that although the snap polls after the 3rd debate showed sKerry "winning".

She was watching with a group of swing voters and that they gave sKerry marks for "style", but that she thought Bush won the debate , because they were looking for reassuance from Bush and he gave it to them. Most in the ABC group were more likely to vote for Bush after the 3rd debate.

Claire Shipman is no Bushie.

Russert must be out for blood... GOP blood.
I can't bear to endure Timmy.
I am NOT watching.

I just finished the first segment of MTP, and had a slightly different take.

No, it isn't pretty, because timmy works as such a shameless hack for the libs, but Mehlman did indeed thrash that pompous ass Shrum. His answers were complete and compelling.

Look at the difference between Genghis sKerry's spokesman Shrum and the female candidate from SC that was on in the next segment. I don't share her politics, but she doesn't appear insane like Shrum (and the entire sKerry party ;'}

People, left & right, are turned off by the likes of Shrum, by edwards, and especially Genghis. sKerry is asking people to hold their noses and vote for him. The more they scream, the less "attractive" they look.

I'm interested in how you would have responded to the Osama bit?
