27 Days to Election Day--Presidential Debate #2

Good grief!

I have to say that this was a tie (or possibly, just possibly, slightly McCain overall). BUT THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

A TIE IN DEBATE #2 EFFECTIVELY MEANS THE ONE WON THE DEBATE.

For the love of Pete, this was supposed to be McCain's debate--the format was supposed to be his forte. He was supposed to take the gloves off! WHAT THE $%&*!!!

He is now trailing in too many of the swing states to play the "elder statesman" role. FOR GOD'S SAKE...DIDN'T ANYONE PAY ATTENTION TO THE DOLE CAMPAIGN???

I'd be like the whiny liberals who said that if Bush was elected (2000) or reelected (2004) that they would pack and leave the country (and I am still waiting, by the way), but where the hell is someone that believes in free markets and small government supposed to go??? At least the liberals had France (and Canada, and the UK, and Germany, and Italy, etc., etc.). The best I can do is maybe Ireland?? Austrailia??

This is a train wreck...I hope something happens soon or we will have The One in office for four years--and who knows who he will appoint as the new Financial Dictator (assuming King Henry (Paulson) abdicates on January 20).

Regrettably, the grumpy old man strategy has no upside. While I hate to say it, this is and has been O's to loose. If he does not self destruct, he wins. The nation is just not going to warm to a grumpy old man.

McCain lost the debate. And were you really that personally unhappy during the Clinton years, Jim? I know a lot of people, Democrat and Republican who have been unhappy with the last eight years- McCain won't be able to over come that.

McCain. Lost. Period. He was TERRIBLE. He did not look Presidential. He looked like an old man that was doing the pee-pee dance most of the time. He looked angry, and couldn't form a coherant thought throughout most of the debate. And his comments? What was that all about? "that one" and "Not you Tom" among others....I know how you are feeling right now....I have felt like that for almost 8 years now....enjoy the ride.
