It was funny how McCain repeatedly claimed "Reagan, my hero" --- when thinking about the economic crisis and Greenspan. Also, McCain managed to say "Another hero of mine - Teddy Kennedy" ... and the constant use of the expression "my friends." McCain is already dead in the water... even another terrorist attack could not save him now.
I would say Obama won debate 2. McCain really did look old and a bit doddering from time to time. I was expecting him to excel in this format but he didn't. And it was VERY noticeable that he would not shake Obama's hand. McCain seems to feel about Obama the same way he felt about Romney during the GOP debates. However, in a contest where both are slinging mud, he cannot claim the high ground. Instead it comes across as petulant. I think he knows he is toast after debate #2. He has only 1 chance left to pull the tide in his favor, and with the economy in the tank there is only a slim chance he can.
You seem convinced. Let's put a stake behind it. If McCain loses, will you agree to retire your current ET handle and return with a new one? If not, then your bold proclamations are just self-indulgent gusts of hot air.
Agreed on all points. I couldn't stand the debate, caught only a couple of minutes. Obama was extremely polished, and that suit and tie he had on were killer. McCain was a disaster in my limited viewing. He needs to stop with the "my friends" routine. I flipped to Ultimate Fighting whenhe started blabbering about some idiotic proposal to apparently have the government buy up every mortgage in default and renegotiate it. I think Hillary originally came up with that. The way I look at it, we are in such deep shit that whoever wins will be the loser.
How about we just duke it out at the Viet nam memorial. It would be an honor to kick some liberal pinkos ass in front of those great Americans.
TUF is tonight on Spike! It looks like a violent season... McCain is just geriatric in every sense of the word. Between Palin and him, there is at least some sense of "erecting".
