Look forward to seeing you in DC this weekend. Just out of curiosity what will you be speaking on?

Thanks,

Mitt Romney just tore things up on the Lou Dobbs show! To bad he is bad for the base but he should be named as a Economic adviser

I am sick of the media trying to tell us all that “Americans will react negatively to negativity.”

This is not a typical election. We have a problem here, MEDIA, in that YOU have failed to vet YOUR candidate. And it just so happens that YOUR candidate this year is a radical leftist, with radical connections, associations, collaborations, and shared agendas. What is a McCain to do???

I’ll tell you what a McCain is to do.

1) Have a plan for the economy, lay it out, look ahead.

2) Take advantages of moderator and questioner presented opportunities to talk about Fan, Fred, Democrats, Republicans, and McCain over the past 10 years.

3) Similarly, take careful advantages of questions and opportunities about the question of Obama’s character, which is finally emerging as a hot topic.

4) McCain’s defense of having to go “negative”, which he should use, is that it is not really negative, it is essential truth telling because:

• The media has not done it. They have failed.
• The questions are so freaking huge about Obama that someone has to do it, and if it is left to McCain, he must do it.
• Because his overrarching duty that reaches beyond running a friendly campaign is to make sure that Americans know about something THAT big.
• And remind Americans that the questions are so big that they will have a hard time believing them because they will wonder why the heck they have not heard of Bill Ayers by now.
• Conveniently point back to the first bullet: The Media

5) And lastly, let happy, joyful optimism and the disposition of a leader with a servant’s heart color and frame every exchange. (H/T Gov. Palin)

We already know that msdnc, cnn have declared Obama the winner of this debate. It would not suprise me if they already conducted their poll of independants BEFORE the debate. I would guess Obama wins the debate according to msdnc 61% to 29% over McCain, lol!!!

Did McCain just say that he wanted to refinance everyone’s mortgage at the current market value? ie, an unbelievably huge principal write-down at tax-payer expense? I don’t even know where to begin (or who to vote for anymore…). Sigh.

Not bad hitting on Fannie & Freddie, though I wish he would’ve mentioned that it was not a problem of not enough regulation, but regulation of the wrong things & not regulating the corruption.

Need to hit this one.

Is it me or does McCain seem a bit lethargic? I’m listening, not watching.

I just want to make sure I heard Obama right. He said he wants to take out of bills the pork barrel spending? If so, Doesn’t he know its all or none vote? Shouldn’t he know that line item vetoing is illegal on the federal level.

why is McCain having to answeer most of the questions first!

McCain is NOT covering himself in glory tonight.

He was given many chances by Obama, but he is just too engrossed in the Congress (gotta love those guys – buddy system at its best… heh) to understand why the American people are angry. He does just NOT get it and won’t before the election!

So goes the election…damn!

Oh well, Sarah Palin will pick up the leftovers in 2012…

n/t

McCain seems to have awakened!

I don’t see it in my copy of the constitution.

n/t

when McCain asked if anyone heard the size of that fine.

is a war with a country (i.e., Afganistan). I hope McCain slams him by saying the war is against terrorist, where ever they may be.

from Sadam’s murderers must not be as valuable as the live in Darfur.

Senator McCain brings up Ayers, et al.

Senator Obama gets all indignant.

Brokaw sits there stunned, trying to stop it.

Senator McCain walks close to Senator Obama and asks “the question”, something like “Why on earth would you knowingly befriend these anti-American people, stay with them through the years and involve them in your life . . . Is it that you agree with them?”

Seantor Obama says something under his breath, that only Senator McCain and later on good audio enhancement will reveal.

Senator McCain then opens up with both barrels on what being a true American means and (using his opponent’s full name), saying that Barack Hussein Obama is morally unfit to be the leader of a pack of hot dog buns, let alone the free world.

Senator Obama then gets up and punches Senator McCain.

October Surprise !

Hey, under Mr. O’s criteria, wasn’t genocide enough of a reason to go into Iraq? :/

Like turning the page on the economy?

He was completely overpowered by The One! What a horrible performance. I am totally depressed.

in charge in Afghanistan?

He registered just 11 minutes ago.

just has not done it (baring a miracle – lost big time!). He has lost! Geez, sorry to be so pessimistic, but, facts are not always welcomed… Maybe Palin will recover enough to run in 2012…

Obama: “Senator McCain is right, I don’t understand, I don’t understand why we invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. And we are still there ignoring the real problems elsewhere and spending money we don’t have.”

McCain set this one up for him…

You can disagree with viewpoint, but it will resonate with the independents.

McCain owes foreign policy, he should have known better than to set Obama up for a memorable sound byte.

How does Mr. O plan to pay for everything? His proposed “government investments?” His proposed rebuilding of countries?

Is his pal, Franklin Raines, gonna help? Maybe hit up George Soros for a loan?

This is going to be like Jimmy Carter is 1976. He was the worst President in the last century and due to that, brought us Ronald Reagan. President Obama will be the worst ever and will hopefully bring us a conservative live Sarah in 2012. If we can over come all of the negatives his administration will create.

You guys are being way too tough. There is no way in this format could McCain go totally negative on Obama with innocent looking voters right in front of him

McCain won the debate.

I liked how McCain ended. Perhaps not enough, but still good.

Palin/Jindel 2012

He needed to draw Obama’s blood big time, and he didn’t.
WHY??????

But not by enough. I don’t know what else he’ll be able to throw out there in the next debate that he didn’t already.

.. right now My Name Is Earl is going to get higher rating than hat third debate.

It is the number one issue for our country and it is the issue McCain most clearly leads on.

Character was behind the economic problems – greed, fraud, and deceit at freddie Mac/Fannie May contributed significantly to this crisis. McCain touched on this in one answer.

I think he missed an opportunity to say that our problems are caused by moral failings, not partisanship, and that one of the reasons he selected Gov Palin was because of her record in routing out corruption by both parties in AK. The McCain-Palin team will do the same in WDC and clean-up government and the economy.

Character and national security – by what moral authority could a President Obama go to Tehran and criticize the Iranians for associating with terrorists?

Obama’s answers to the nat. security questions were about as good as McCains, so you have to know about Obama’s background to see why McCain is stronger.

Senator McCain needs to pick up votes from independents. I think he came across as strong, yet understanding of the hardships some Americans are facing.

He has one more debate, and in the meantime he can go after Obama. Plenty of time to nail Obama.
