What the hell debate was Krauthammer and the other Fox people watching? When CNN says McCain won and the Fox-upped people say he lost I gotta go with CNN.

If you are undecided how can you possibly change your mind?

They’re liars, plain and simple. Had a ready answer.

Definitely McCain’s best debate so far.

Yes, he left a few hanging curveballs over the plate.

But bottom line is he showed Obama to be a political incompetent. Once he got Obama off talking points, all Obama could do was talk and talk about nothing (maybe Obama is the Seinfield candidate). You could tell Obama didn’t know what to say tonight, so he just rambled off to something else, totally unrelated.

First half of the debate, McCain cleaned Obama’s clock. 2nd half was more even because McCain didn’t fully press every issue. But at least McCain got the pressing issues we have wanted out into the public discourse tonight.

Other factor, is Obama just flat out lied a lot tonight. And not about technical nuance’s over minor policy issues. He just FLAT OUT LIED several times, and McCain called him on it. I thought the biggest lie (in terms of public impact) may be that 100% of McCain’s ads are negative. Every American has seen many of their ads. They will know that this is not true.

Joe the Plumber could be a defining moment of the campaign. He is a real person and will be doing a ton of media interviews if he so desires. That will help McCain with the middle class working folks. They get Joe the Plumber. No some target number about who will get taxed or not.

McCain needs to get Joe the Plumber video up on ads ASAP.

Whether this changes the election or not, who knows? By this time, most people aren’t even watching the debates. But if McCain had been this good the last 2, he might only be back 1-2 points.

Suddenly the CNN poll is registering:

Sen. Barack Obama 87% 13951
No clear winner 3% 427
Total Votes: 16053

Joe the Pliumber is on Fox Business with Cavuto - he says McCain won big!

...and Joe is one of us, not a Washington insider.

We are not going nuts, we saw what middle America saw.

Fox could have reported that Obama campaigned for his cousin the Communist in Kenya and put him under weeks ago...think about it! They didn't do it!!!

This is crap!!! Turn them off! I'm mad as hell!

“Boycott Foxnews!!! “

Where is a list of the sponsors of MSNBC, FOX and the rest of the dying MSM.
Turn off the TV and do not patronize the sponsors of MSM.

We are a war with Marxists everywhere.

I used to love Charles Krauthammer (sp) but he has been down BIG TIME on McCain every dang debate. He just said (paraphrasing) 0bama looked unruffled, blah, blah, blah. DISGUSTING!

Did you guys ever watch the episode of The Simpsons where Marge says to Homer - “I can’t believe that Fox has become such a hard core sex channel?”

Maybe that’s what’s becoming of Fox News - Not hard core sex channel, but the voice of the left?

The fix is in. Every “news” station and their panel is making crap up. McCain mentioned Ayers for a total of 22 seconds yet the “undecided” panel claims that McCain kept going on with it.

FOX has officially PISSED me off!

You are SO right! Fox panel loaded with libs, and the ever-stupid Bill Kristol who is no more conservative than my local high school administrator. I'm so f'ing sick of "Fair and Balanced" I could puke. One day, a really smart entrepeneur (maybe Joe the Plumber) will start a conservative television news network ...will make Billions.
