Toobin on McCain: CNN 09/04/08

Jeffrey Toobin, Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer on John McCain
"America Votes: 2008 RNC Convention" 11:47pm
Panel

WOLF BLITZER: Jeff Toobin, how did John McCain do?

JEFFREY TOOBIN: I had a very strong reaction to the speech, Wolf. Others may disagree. I thought it was the worst speech by a nominee that I've heard since Jimmy Carter in 1980.

I thought it was disorganized, themeless, I thought it was very, very boring until the end when he started talking about his personal story, which is, of course, remarkable and always important to hear. I personally cannot remember a single policy proposal that he made because they had nothing connecting them. I found it shockingly bad.

BLITZER: Jeff, the next time you have to tell us how you really feel about John McCain's speech because --

TOOBIN: Wolf, just compare Sarah Palin's speech. Her speech was riveting. It was exciting.

The crowd was into it. You remembered what she was talking about. She was a—go ahead.

ANDERSON COOPER: I must say, maybe we should bring in Amy Holmes, I did wonder if they had sent all their speechwriters over to Sarah Palin's hotel room over the last couple of days and no one was really helping out John McCain.

Who cares if we're in a recession, people are hurting that's all you need to know. Now stop it, tell that to the person who has just lost his house if we're in a recession or not.

scarynight you're no democrat. McCain stands for everything the Democratic party is against.

[JakiiRSM]

mamyhadj I hate to say this but as the head of the CFR said, 'Americans are replaceable'. What is happening was planned. CFR and Trilateral want lots of cheap labor to come into this country and said so. It is no doubt they are creating a two class country of rich and poor. Next its the NAU and NAFTA. It's all a master plan. We will have to completely re-write our constitution. I'm afraid they do not want us educated. They can get that for slave wages from China and India. Revolution anyone?

[mamyhadja1]

JakiiRSM this is why our schools need funding. If we don't get funding for our schools, we end it up with ignorant people like these left over Republicans. Got any suggestion on how to get read of them? MARS maybe?

[mamyhadja1]

No real Democrat is voting for McCain. You're saying that because you want to confuse us Democrats, not this time buddy. Get your redneck, trailer ass out of here and go back to your failing party.
