10/7 Presidential Debate

regurgitating the "fundamentals are workers are strong"

they're kind of both nonanswering and taking potshots at each other.

thanks, i appreciate it
mccains been doing town halls for awhile. it's good for obama to look like the underdog this time because if he connects as well as mccain is supposed to, he'll come out looking better for it, and take away another supposed mccain advantage.
and this really isnt hard for obama to do, so i think we'll have a debate#1 redux

if town halls arent supposed to like potshots, then are they just warming up?

Teresa Finch : "why should we trust either of you"

Mccain's answer: because i'm a reformer

McCain sounds like he's gasping while he's talking.

i dont see obama's answer being more specific, but facepalm nonetheless.

i'm liking the LA Times live blog coverage of it...

"He slams Obama for his ties to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Obama, when it's his turn to speak, lashes back, reminding McCain that one of McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis lobbied for Fannie Mae in the past.
It's a nonsensical thing to argue over: Both Obama and McCain have advisers and who have connections with the companies."

Both are kinda messing up the time limits. Bleh.

[kagenaki koe]

if anybody is drinking, McCain is rattling off as many "I know how to do that".

and Brokaw has to keep repeating that answers should only be 1 minute long.

[kagenaki koe]

McCain pimping Spending Freeze.

So far, McCain is having the better of this. Obama is giving rather bland answers and McCain is connecting better.
