The Palin trend....McCain AGAIN last night proved he did not want to fight for this....Palin is fighting and that is what is helping those polls move in their direction.
Ain't that the truth
McCain did exactly what he had to. The negative press coming out the next few weeks will be enough to destroy Obama w/o McCain having to club the baby seal.
BS! What the hell was he supposed to do at a damn town hall meeting? Scream about Ayers and Wright? Bring up Fanny Mae on questions that weren’t about Fanny Mae? Start beating Obama with the microphone?
He laid the groundwork of what is to come and he did as effective a job as he could have given the setting of the debate.
The worst thing that happened last night was that Obama finally realized that it isn’t too bright to tear down America in his closing statement, which is unfortunate, but I’m sure he’ll go right back to it soon enough.
Exactly... See my tagline
I respectfully dissagree. I think that what you interpret as "not wanting to fight" is actually "being reasonable and mature".
flinging hysterical accusations of guilt by association would have been a disaster
Keep in mind these candidates are courting the "moderates", the emotional last minute voters who decide their vote like they are buying a used car....all others have decided already
McCain is no idiot, he picked her for a reason. Who but Sarah turned this around? Who but Sarah is going to carry us all across the line?
McCain is building bridges instead of tearing them down. I know exactly what would happen of McCain went ion the attack. As it is, if the MSN attacks Sarah, she grows stronger.
McCain (IMHO) is running the perfect race, he didn't fight because he didn't need too.
