1. Kick.

:kick:

[Vadem]

Barack was too nice about Sarah! He needs to hit her on her cut

for special needs kids, her AIP roots, her lying and calling Obama hanging out with terrorists! He is not hitting her hard enough, nor John McCain!

[AllyCat]

29. I think he made M look like an idiot. Obama was positive

McSame was negative and then started talking about...gov't spending??

[pinto]

36. I don't think he has to. McCain is all over the place. And the judgement is *in* on Palin, imho.

[Ichingcarpenter]

2. McCain attacks Biden.......... what an ass.

[xiamiam]

3. seeing a united iraq...really?

[VP505]

6. Ya, all them factions over there just get along soooo well.

Unbelievable that he sits there an says that with a straight face.

[UpInArms]

4. McLumpy is attempting to do the fear and smear routine

and he is lamer than a 3-legged corgi

[GinaMaria]

7. Obama needs to hit back and hit hard

[Richard D]

He's just being way to nice.

There is plenty of ammo and he's not using it.

[tavalon]

52. He's way ahead

We would cheer if he hit hard, but he already has our vote. He's hearing loud and clear from the middle of the roaders that they are tired of negative campaigning. He's winning by taking the high road because that's what's hot and new. Run a campaign on issues and you usually lose but not this time.

[Solly Mack]

5. With Palin in office, the yearly successionists meeting can take place in the oval office

[GinaMaria]

12. lol!

[Gregorian]

24. Laugh now, but we'll be footing the airfare for those freeps.

It would be ironic though.

[Solly Mack]

It would indeed....

[malaise]

8. Why didn't Barack remind everyone that Palin

was found guilty of abusing power last week.

[Vadem]

15. Exactly!!!! .,... n/t

[tavalon]

53. Because he isn't running against Palin, as much as McCain wants to make it so

And he is running against someone who has aligned himself with Bush 90% of the time. That is his trump card.

[Kolesar]

9. "Canadian Oil is Fine" ROFL

"but no Irish"

[Mist]

10. Damn, but I get sick of McLame's saying he wants transparency, an end to

DC cronyism, etc., when, as a famous maverick, he hasn't got around to dealing with the cronyism in all his time in DC.
Who the fuck is he kidding?!

[UpInArms]

11. Scheiffer is still a pos that doesn't get the issues

and can't ask a straight question that gets a real answer and now McLumpy gets the floor and is going to mumble stutter on and on and on

eliminate by drill baby drill

nucular plants

safe but ships sail around the world

huh?

[GinaMaria]

17. why does McLame always get the last word?

[Solly Mack]

13. Canadian oil is good 'cause those are god-fearing people with mostly white skin

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Tht whistling in his teeth is driving me bonkers...

[UpInArms]

21. the only other speech I ever want to hear from this loser is

a concession speech on November 4

(it's way too painful to listen to the stutter whistle mumble whistle)

[UpInArms]

22. self deleted dupe

:blush:

[Danascot]

30. Wooden dentures will do that ...

[southernleftylady]

16. He isnt hitting back hard enough!!! nt

[xiamiam]

18. mccain doesnt answer the questions...obama does...anyone have a read on the response yet?

[DS1]

19. Obama is hurting himself by laughing at McCain

[skygazer]

27. The side by side view is great

McCain looks pissy and Obama looks like he is utterly amused.

[Ranting_Wacko]

28. Why? I'm laughing...

... of course I'm also through my first Guineness.

[JonLP24]

32. McCain has been laughing at Obama

So pretty much they are even in that regard. Obama has the edge in everything else.

[Kolesar]

38. Tuff Sh-t Michiganders, yer auto jobs aren't coming back

Ok, mccain did not say that...today

[Ichingcarpenter]

20. Obama is looking in the camera....... favorables are going up

[Kolesar]

23. Barack's energy speech is excellent!

Damn he's good

[Ichingcarpenter]

35. McCain is blinking and smirking when he's talking

Not good for the public

[Vadem]

33. I just switched from C-Span because they had the split screen to

CNN, who also has the split screen, plus the chart thingy!

[Ichingcarpenter]

Yes, but it is not in HD where you can see the sweat on McCain's upper lip

[AllyCat]

34. Where are you all seeing these meters? PBS doesn't show it.

[Ranting_Wacko]

39. CNN -nt-

[autorank]

25. If this were a boxing match they'd end it on a TKO. McCain is on goofy street

[Solly Mack]

26. Piss McCain off..make him blow..and then we can sit back and watch him fade away

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Gramps is grindinghis teeth...watch his left side jaw tensing

[AllyCat]

42. OH god...

[Mist]

37. McBlinky: Obama's never been south of the border! Oh, the scandal! nt

[UpInArms]

48. I was watching and thinking - McBlinky - and there was your post!

:toast:

[Gregorian]

40. I'm so sick of republicans. What phonies.

They lie, make snide and untrue remarks. They slime character. They make false promises.

[UpInArms]

41. we haven't drlled one new off-shore well and oil has dropped in half

but McFucknut is still doing the "drill baby drill" and now flowing drugs into America to create jobs and making billions of dollars of free trade with Columbia

???????

[Dark]

43. McCain is pissed.

"Maybe if you traveled down there you'd understand it."

[Kolesar]

44. Wow. Barack mentioned that union leaders in Columbia were murdered

Has he been reading this message board??

[Solly Mack]

45. Ha! Labor leaders have been the target of assassinations...

by McCain's buddy!

[JonLP24]

46. Did you see how shocked McCain looked when Obama

said labor leaders were targeted for assasinations in Columbia?

[lelgt60]

47. you know, I though Obama was losing the 2nd debate for the same reasons, but I was wrong...

We may want him to "hit back hard", but apparently his cool, articulate style just connects better, especially with undecided voters.

He was nice to Palin - too nice for me, but apparently that's what non "true believers" like.

I get antsy watch McCain be so aggressive as well, but Obama's methods have worked so far. McCain comes across like such a bully.

[GinaMaria]

50. His answer on Palin was very good

for a couple of reasons. Basically, he said he trusts the American people to make the decision about Palin. He also avoided looking aggressive or bad for taking a cheap shot. After all she's flung at him the last two weeks, his response indicated that the only one who looks bad in this situation is Palin herself. It took a few minutes for me to realize the wisdom of his answer. He's an honorable candidate.

[Gregorian]

49. Obama got the last word! And he hit a home run.

It's clear that doing the same thing we've done over the last eight years hadn't worked.

And he did what I thought I'd never hear in modern politics. He said it wouldn't be easy. We'd all have to work together, and sacrifice! But he'd work for us night and day.

He made a real visual impact of him being the next president. He create the Obama presidential image.

[a la izquierda]

51. McCain needs a lesson...

on Latin American history, among other things. His re-cockulous foray into Colombia had me screaming at the tv. Well the whole duh-bate had me yelling, but that little gem about Colombia helping us stem the tide of drugs into the US really set me off.
