I want a Prez who cares more about Barney Smith than he cares about Smith Barney.

The republican''''s thought that if they gave the rich enough tax breaks, that the money would trickle down to the more average and below income folks. The rich did spend their gifted income on Italian shoes, French handbags, trips to Europe, and large TVs not made in the USA. It is time for the breaks to be given to the lower income Americans and let the rich wait for it to trickle up.

search " John McHanoi "

[classic14rider]

Sorry, McCain didn't come through to the Middle Class at all last night. He came across as a bitter old man -- his closing remarks were something to the effect that "Americans are angry. They are hurting and they are angry." Like W, who projected his own insecurities onto the international arena leading him to invade Iraq and search for "enemies" everywhere (mostly in the political opposition here at home) McCain projects his anger onto the American public. Obama, in contrast, was calm & upbeat.

[Damiya]

To be honest, my feeling when I watched this, McCain made some interesting points, but he came across badly, a bit creepy.

[djancak]

it should have been Ron Paul VS Barack Obama.

[bernlin2000]

I'd agree with him, McCain definently did better and showed himself more than he has in the other debates. However, that might be a bad thing, since we really saw how much of a temper he really has, he seemed to be steaming most of the debate and really seems to struggle to stay on the level with Obama. He is either intimidated by him, or finds him to be on a lower level them himself, and it shows.

[konohahurricane07]

well said

[vimbayi]

go OBAMA!!

[michp38]

No surprises again. McCain did better but not good enough. He kept up the same rhetoric about Obamas plans and kept being slapped down. Obama did miss a good opportunity about Palin. It really got my attention and I was looking for the knock out. Caution got the better of him.

DEBATE WARS - McCAIN'S DEBATE COACH

[kennyrogers1]

fifty first comment

[SuzInKS]

McCain looked like a teapot about to steam. It wasn't a good performance for him. None of my republican friends (5) thought so either. But then they aren't died in the wool partisans. They want someone who represents them-none of them feel that's McCain. 4 our of 5 told me they are voting for Obama because he understands the economy. The last one thinks he might vote for Barr. He'd rather throw his vote away than vote for McCain and Palin who he thinks is dumb as a box of rocks.

[skydogz1]

McCain clearly knows way more than Obama. Obama is just anther lawyer.

[Williamkurk]

yeah, another constitution lawyer...we don't need one of those in the white house...McCain doesn't know how to connect his points to people, which is why in these polls, and to these pundits, he never successfully ran away with any argument. Obama is a way better debater than McCain hands down.

[pipicat111]

no he lost it early when he discredit the concept of sharing the wealth around, now whose the greedy moron mccains just like all those Bankers that we the taxpayers have just bailed out, gosh mccain is such a loser,

[stafax]

who is he kidding? not sure? I am FOR SURE that he didn't break through. A 72-year old who has been in the senate for 26 years, and voted with the bush administration the past 8 years over 90% of the time, and he's trying to say "no, the democrat running against me is not the man for change, I AM the one who will bring you change" The majority of Americans haven't bought it and aren't going to buy it.

[duhCider]

The only thing McCain can break through, at this point, is the floor.

[Skurgefaust]

obama 08 , not voting for The Maverick and the MILF  sorry.

[zero102388]

lmfao.

the milf

Obama 08 too man.

[ver506]

I also think Obama was too slow in the beginning, but he had a very strong finish, and he redeemed himself IMO. I was never going to vote for McSame though......

[alexandr000]

no he didnt

[NsaneNtheNbrane]

The whole time it looked like they wanted to punch each other in the face. Boy, this campaign has gotten ugly.

McCain was going strong in the beginning of this debate, but then he ruined his momentum by pressing that stupid Ayers issue. McCain was smart enough to leave that out in the first debate, but I guess he finally drank the kool-aid.

[sharinganclan213]

mmcin got barack rolle'd today

[pipicat111]

well thats not what all the polls say,mccain got slapped up again he started off alright and then he mentioned Ayes and obama add all the GOP members that were with him and Ayes on that school Board and it was wrong move by mccain, because it liked the GOP to AYES as well,mccain now has the GOP pissed off and the polls show that Obama has widen is lead

[signsbyrusty]

McCain hardly hit a home run tonight...maybe not a strike out...but more like a weak pop out to the infield.

[porplemontage]

mac daddy had some fire tonight

[psoprano]

watch SECRET AMERICAN LIES on youtube

[schizerbone]

no .

Please show the women's response to the VP question.

[TrenchantAtheist]

"Liberal Media"? Where? Every news organization called the VP debate a "knock-out by Palin"

The rest of America disagreed.

The news orgs are calling this presidential debate either a "draw" or a win for McCain.

The rest of America disagreed.

America's message to everyone in politics, the media, and the corporate sector: "Can you hear me now??"

[MellieMel062689]

Well I'll have to give props to McCain, he did extremely better during the final debate than any other debate. He looked at Obama, he addressed him, and he looked at the camera. McCain was phenomenal. But he still haven't nailed what it was that he was going to do for the country, just like the previous debates McCain's been wishy washy on his answers, they just weren't solid. Obama was more flat during this one, but he STILL stuck to his word. Obama won the debate! Polls said it too!

[funkmastertre]

McCain, you've just been Obama'd!

[Mychaels]

What the fuck is this idiot watching? McCain shit his diaper. Nuff said!

[aknightofswords]

But understand that Mike Murphy is one of the most staunch republican talking heads out there anywhere. Basically, what he said actually translates in to English as "McCain shit his diaper". So, you're spot on.

[MVX12]

interesting how John McCain who always claims to be the "true" American patriot was the one who wasnt wearing the lapel pin.

[blabblab1212]

McCain got his ass wiped in the debate. Plain and simple. The Republicans are starting to get vicious! When they are not winning, THATS WHEN YOU CAN SEE WHAT EVIL FUCKS THESE PEOPLE ARE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THERE GOING TO LOSE!

[vertigate]

58-31 Obama win in CNN polling. 40Dem, 30Rep polled. How did McCain do better, how did he get close. Looking at the debate all I can see is an angry McCain who lost it several times and who looked petty. I don't think that gets close to anything of benefit for him at all. I'll have to disagree with thin hair egghead guy here. Oh look, he's a Republican strategist.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

He's done.

[HaloedG]

Not even close...

[Swish387]

McCain is so out of touch with everything that he seems to try to memorize what he's supposed to say whereas Obama knows what to say. there's a huge difference!

[luckyjoe]

McCain felt comfortable with Joe the Plumber because he got G Gordon Liddy The Plumber on his staff.

[McCainTheTurdburglar]

Who the fuck is this guy and why should I care. Obama pwned.

[kilfridg]

Homerun Obama.

[wolflover1953]

McCain talked about we need more walk in clinics for sick people and hospitals to care for people which had no insurance.I didn't hear him say that he would give up one of his 6-12 houses for the benefit of a walk in clinic What is wrong with this man.He talks about greed.Obama needs to take over and get this country on the right track.

McCain and Ms Palin wouldn't pull it off. Hs is too old and she is like a barbie doll that has a chatty cathy pull string Sarah go home to your family.

[mom4education]

Respectfully, Mr. Murphy. Who really gives a crap what you THINK? It's not about poll sliding, or voice tone, or home runs. It's about fixing our RUINED nation. Eight years of abuse has screwed us up royally.

We NEED intelligent leadership more than ever before! And if Sarah FAILIN' is in line to become our next president, I cry...YIKES!

Love,

It's interesting to see Republican strategists resigning themselves to the likely outcome.

[jimbojim68]

MCain did not show America someone who was presidential. He made faces, rolled his eyes, smirked, failed at attempts at humor, looked angry, spoke down to Obama, wouldn't look at him. He blinked like a mad man. He was nervous, quite frankly.

[SICKMINDED666]

i think he was Morse coding his staff for "help!" by blinking

pwned

[jayhawks25]

McCain kept drawing penis's on his notepad. Thats why he wasnt paying attention while Sen. Obama was addressing the questions

[SICKMINDED666]

lmao! yeah i saw that

[Suavelistic]

lol I can't wait to see the McCain flowchart.

1. Make a false accusation about Mr. Obama

Fail? Damn look shocked like I didn't already know. Say I'm not Bush (I'm only his puppet)

2. Talk about the things I'm going to do for Joe(Millionaire) Plummer and say Obama hates his guts.

Fail? Damn WWBD(What would Bush Do)? Smile and look lost, blind 30x and daydream.

3. Say he's a terrorist w/o saying it.

Failed? Dammit I give up, Sarah take my dentures? Honey where's the Jello?

[94fordtaurus]

Commentary without being a shill for his side. Good stuff, Murphy.

[corbaman]

I'd say Obama definitely won on body language.

Obama acted more Presidential. He was serious. He took the questions seriously.

McCain was acting weird, he kept using these crazy smiles and shrugging to someone off camera. In the last minute, he did a hysterical laugh. He wasn't acting Presidential.

[PercivalHoward]

I totally agree. I thought McCain looked bloody freaky. Especially when he was trying to surpress his anger with childish facial expressions under a facade of ernestness.

[corbaman]

Did you catch the laugh at the very end? It was obviously a nervous, hysterical laugh that demonstrated how worried McCain was about his election.

I'm sure someone coached McCain on body language, but they didn't do him any favors. All this weird smiling he was doing did not help at all. He did not look Presidential.

[wildwilly1111]

corbaman: "McCain was acting weird, he kept using these crazy smiles and shrugging to someone off camera. In the last minute, he did a hysterical laugh."

I'm convinced a large part of McCain's coaching has focused on hiding his temper. It's been obvious since at least the Rick Warren interview in mid-August. Last night his real persona was trying to break through the facade; I was reminded of Peter Sellers' "Dr. Strangelove" role.

[silverman567]

I completely agree.

[george101767]

Yeah, I agree too. It seems like his only real emotion that he does well is anger.

[CynicalSavior]

OWNED OWNED OWNED... MCCAIN GOT OWNED.

OWNED OWNED OWNED...

I just wanted to see what the audio preview of that would sound like.

Try it yourself and post it. lol
