    LOL Fox News.

    Come on man....would you expect anything less on that ridiculous channel.

    Is like saying Notre Dame was voted most popular football team by the people in South Bend.

  6. You guys had mentioned MSNBC and CNN, so I mentioned FOX. Again, the viewership on FOX is equal to the total of MSNBC and CNN. So throw them all together. McCain won.

  8. Wasn't trying to be hard on you.

    "Another thing, why don't the candidates ever really engage each other via socratic-like dialectics? Ask them a question and make them answer it.

    The rules of the TV debate don't demand it, and most TV viewers don't know what "socratic-like dialects" are.

    It would be nice if the moderators would pause between the answers given, have a group of recognized fact checkers do some quick research and be able to say who is telling the truth and who is lying.

    Debates are mostly about immediate impact, and the emotional reaction by the viewers.

    The best way to evaluate what was said would be to have Americans read the transcript and then research the answer themselves...but that isn't going to happen.

    Also, it would be great to have voice analyzers that can recognize stress and often lying by voice patterns running side by side with the person answering the question.

    Of course, then we would get nothing but pathological liars as presidents...

    :D

    Like we have already had over the past few decades...

    Fox has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC?

    Damn...if thats true I am moving to Canada.


    My take. McCain isnt a bad guy...in fact I kind of like him as a person. I just think his policies are way too similar to Bush....he is clueless on the economy (Economy is strong a few days ago ?????)....and his VP is a very frightening person. If he croaks and she was to take over......would be a very bad thing for this country.


    But I am pretty confident when she HAS to come out and speak in the debates she will get annihilated by Biden and it will be lights out for McCain.
