Livethread - Obama, McCain, and Rick Warren

[UFC Pride K1]

Share your thoughts about the Saddleback Civil Forum, which starts at 8:00pm EST..

Will Warren throw softballs on the issue of abortion?

Will he give both candidates free passes?

Will this be an attempt to minimize the lives of the unborn while giving higher priority of less urgent social issues?

[PleaseNoMore]

The pogo stick traveling MSM have done a tremendous job promoting B.O. to our youth. It really stinks.

Exactly!

[TommyJoe]

Saving his money, biding his time and waiting for a moment like this!

[ImphClinton]

I thought the rest of the Deomcrats agreed with McCain on all of this.

That’s right I forgot McCain claims to be a liberal Republican. At least before he remembers the lie he is a conservative Republican and changes his quote to that.

[TigersEye]

I am too and most here probably know, too well, that I don’t like McCain at all.

[nymomx2]

like rick warren or not, mccain is looking great! Obama sounded like a warm fuzzy democrat, mccain sounds like a grownup, a leader.

He did interact more. . .his bias for sure. Could be too; he was offering 'fill' for the holes Obama was digging with his 'uhhhhhhhhs'. . .

But whatever, Warren cannot but be impressed here; surprised and impressed.

McCain's responses far more genuinely 'Christian' than Obama's. But then the Left never has claimed an authentic Moral base; at least one they genuinely believe in.

Clearly, McCain 'walks the walk'. Obama we know, 'talks the talk' and talks and talks. . .

[peridot]

I had to leave minutes into Obama’s time. Now that McCain is doing so well, I’d like to go back and see BO. Anybody know if this will be rerun? I was going to hold my nose when casting a vote for JM, but he’s changing my mind.

[Blue Highway]

I guess these days when parents think about having to sit their kids down about “the talk”, it should be required include the liberal media bias and that liberals are wanting to prey on their naivety. Best to tell her before she buys into the BS at the college level.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

I thought Obama would soar and McCain would bomb.
Just the opposite has happened.
And Warren handled Obama with kid gloves and he still bombed-Big Time.
How can the Democrats allow Obama to even be on the same stage with McCain is a mystery.
The lights may be burning late tonight at the DNC and Chappaqua trying to figure a way out of this looming disaster.

[LostInBayport]

McCain seems to have conviction and a candidacy guided by principles. He also comes across as extremely decisive. My question: WHERE HAS THIS GUY BEEN THE LAST NINE MONTHS!!!???

Let's just hope he stays around for the next two!

Wow, a lot of angst over voting for McCain in November left me tonight. And I almost didn't tune in!

[United Freeping States]

Can’t wait for the wrap-up analysis on MSNBC. If it’s Olbermann, Matthews, and Mitchell they will all be in an emotional dither. Olbermann is probably now changing his undies.

Thanks for the mental picture.

[Blogger]

As long as he doesn’t do something stupid like have a pro-choice veep, then he has won it tonight.

[texpat72]

Obama admitted he “cheated” and looked up an answer to one of the questions. (I can’t remember which one). McCain looks shocked at some of the questions. I told Hubby that I think Obama had the questions ahead of time.

"will this be replayed does anyone know??? I was at a party watching the Olympics..."

FNC from 11:00 PM EDT to 1:00AM EDT (I'm sure this will be replayed throughout the night, every hour for a couple of hours.)

[ImphClinton]

Or was it the Argentinian judge?

[Maurice Tift]

Yes - I wasn’t even planning to watch, but McCain is excellent.

[Delphinium]

Great, lots of people watching! CNN, PMSNBC probably won’t rerun.

[Always Right]

McCain was dare I say, almost Reaganesque tonight.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

And as for Matthews, well, ladies are present.
