Finally somewhat awake, here’s my take:

• On paper – McCain.  Kind of nice to hear McDude finally “bring it” to the ‘O miester.  His points where valid, but O always managed to bob-n -weave around them all.
• Fashionwise – Obama.  He always looks good… and Mc’s tie was a little “off”.
• With my back to the t.v. – McCain.
• Who looked more at ease – Tie.  Obama spent most of the night backpedaling, but he never really lost his cool.  Yes, McCain looked strong, but ‘O dude looked smooth as ever.

Okay, nuf of that.

I’m glad McCain finally went on the offensive, it just sucks that he took so long to get there.  And no, I ain’t talkin bout Ayers little Acorn, I’m talkin bout Obamas plan to raise taxes in these crazy economic times.  Sheesh, talk about economic suicide!

Now, I get that the ‘O man is smooth as silk, but I’m getting the feeling that the closer we get to voting time, the more people are going to see the error in ‘O’s ways.

Anyways, I give last night to McCain.  He did what he needed to do, for the most part he attacked on the issues that matter, and while Obama always managed to duck and weave around most of them I think most people are now going to have to start taking a serious look at teflon man and where he actually stands on things.  I mean there really is an election coming up… a real one… where your vote really does matter… and sooner or later folks are going to have to wake up from the dream that is Obama, smell the capuchino, and pull the lever for the man (this time) who’s going to direct this nation through the meanest economic time this generation has ever seen.  Do you really think a “tax and spend” liberal is really what this nation is going to need these next few years?  …Really?

For those who have been waiting to see the angry black man bust out of the closet during this election season we are probably a little disappointed. Senator Obama has displayed a steady hand throughout. He was often accused of being too arrogant, a common theme for successful black men. He debated Senator Hillary Clinton who threw everything at him but he was able to remain calm under fire. The republican are the latest to try to disrupt his steady, calm demeanor that he displays. They have brought out every possible attack to throw him off but he quietly responds and stay on message.

John McCain’s frustration with not been able to get under the skin of Obama is so evident. He tried unsuccessfully in three debates to throw him off his game but Obama never once got down to the complaining McCain level. There are times when I wish he would fire back zingers at McCain and the constant lies that are the running theme of his campaign. McCain’s long windedness that Barack Obama will raise taxes , even though Obama consistently reminds the American people that he won’t, is an example of how I want him to hit back. He just calmly replies it isn’t true, while McCain’s arms are flaying away and foaming at the mouth with frustration. Continue Reading

The presidential debate tweets were buzzing on Twitter Wednesday night. While McCain and Obama attempted to detail their fundamental differences, social media addicts were tearing McCain apart (probably due to Obama’s connection with younger web savvy voters). However, our internet friends like CNN reporter Rick Sanchez did raise a few quality talking points and questions; Who is Joe the Plumber? What do Obama and Whitney Houston have in common? How much volume can a Depends diaper take? What does Obama have against sex?

Let’s take a look at Debate 08’s Twitter highlights: Continue Reading

After listening to last nights debate at work on the radio… (no U-Verse at the job site…) here’s what I got…

• On paper – McCain (as if you couldn’t have guessed that one)
  • wasn’t really listening to what was being said, too busy building walls. Besides, what the heck can either of these turkeys say now that will change anyone’s mind..
• Fashion-wise – Umm, got to give that one to the big O.  I’ll bet I’m right on that one, even without being able to see any of it… HA
• With the sound off – well… can’t help you on that one, I was listening to the radio ya’ll…
• With my back to the t.v. – since this is pretty much all I have to go off… here goes.- Obama takes it.
  • McCain sounded like he was pleading his case for another raisin nut bran cookie… a “I promise I’ll clean my room if you vote for me” type of voice.  I felt bad just listening to him.  Obama (Lady reports) had a lot of Umms and Uhhs, supposedly looked lost without his teleprompter.  I’ll take her word for it.  But McCains begging for another five minutes on playstation voice just got to me.  I can’t take the whining yo.
  • Do I want McCain to win?  No, I want a conservative to win, but since he’s the closest thing I gots this time around, I guess I have no real choice in the matter.  And theres no way in heck I’m voting for O.  So why don’t I cover for MacDaddy’ you ask?  Dude, I’m just calling them as I see em.  And ever since the morning after everyone realized McCain was the rep choice, I said this race was Obamas to lose.  And I don’t see that happening.  I’ll get to why in a later post.  (Oh, and if McCain DOES manage to pull this out of his a##, I owe alot of beers to alot of my blogging buddies… …alot o beers)  …anyway…
• Who looked more “at ease” – from the sound of their voices, I’d have to say O-dude.  Again, I just didn’t hear the fire that was in the last half of their last go around.  Course, Obama didn’t have his preaching shoes on like I thought he would either.  But O did sound smoother.

As far as this debate is concerned, I still have to ask just what the heck can either of these turkeys say now that will change anyone’s mind now?

So from where I was banging up walls last night/this morning, Obama takes this debate… And no, even though it’s been DVR’ed, I don’t want to see it… I’m just sayin…

Found another sticky note I left for me a few hours from now.  I don’t mind finding these notes from myself from time to time, it’s just I keep leaving them in the weirdest places… The last one I found in the microwave, and for some reason this one I left under my toaster.  Hmm. Well, I might as well get to it…

“Dude, she rocked the house!!! don’t forget to chill the Guinness, okay?  Check it…

• Biden had it wrapped up, he had her mumblin and stumblin, but he had to pull the “look sweetheart”… he HAD to say it!!!
• Biden looked healthier than I thought he would, except for the fake tan line behind his ear… creepy, but no matter, Palin couldn’t help but outshine on that front.  Hmm, I did like his tie choice though.
• Gwen was fine, you could tell she was really trying to be “fair”, and for the most part she held herself in check pretty good.
• Of course Biden sounded great, he was a much better smoother speaker but that only lasted until Palin attacked and he went for the bait.  Just couldn’t help himself…
  • dude, THAT’s when the fun started, imagine a yippy  cockapoo up agienst a German Sheppard, with the Shepperd holding back… and once he realized his mistake, it was over!  Toast man, toast.
• The news is starting to report that Biden won on the issues, but by tomorrow morning that won’t matter, I think alot of people are going to be turned off by the way he went after her, sort of petty.  Fun, but petty.
  
• start the dryer – chill the Guinness”

For some strange reason… Okay, because McCain can’t win this without Palin’s help, and Obama can’t win this with Biden’s help, Thursday’s debate will decide the presidency, and it all hinges on Palin. All the remaining presidential debates will do is solidify “the base”, it’s the V.P.’s debate that will draw votes away from the O’meister.

Here goes… Continue Reading

Who won? Who cares…

Tonight will not change anyone’s mind. For some reason this time around it’s the Vice’s debates that will make/break this election. If Palin can win Hilary’s supporters, it’s a lock. If Biden can NOT lose too many of O’s votes, it may be a draw. (Notice I didn’t say “if Biden can win any Republican supporters”… ain’t no way in heck that’s gonna happen)

Okay okay. Here’s how I call the debate… Continue Reading
