I think I'll vote for the war hero over a man that is the friend of terrorists.

I am tired of democrats mediating these debates. Why don't we have Hannity or some other conservative moderate half of these debates?

friend of terrorists…? What terrorists? Convicted? none.

so what about friend of people who steal us blind like Keating, or the friends of J. Gordon Liddy? Or a whole list of convicted or indicted miscreants living on the hog in the top 1% of the population?

Yeah, I think some very unbiased objective person who “knows who the bad guys are” and who clearly has access to the Truth and who has a “no spin zone” agenda should “moderate” the presidential debates.

I suggest Bill “O'Really?” or Sean Hannity or Big Boy Rush Limbaugh or the Convinced Pat Robertson or “Todd is God” Palin or Doctor James Dobson the Enforcer. These True American patriots with a long history of supporting G. W. BUSH would do a wonderful job in continuing Bush's apocalyptic vision for America that they have publicly and openly supported over the past eight years.

Only then will America be able to see the Truth about the Evil pro-terrorist tax-and-spend anti-family liberal socialist agenda of the Democrats.

McCain was relentless. He was the most agressive I have seen since his parties primary. That being said, he didn't do enough to topple Obama. He showed some fire, but it was too little, too late in the campaign to hope for a hail mary. I would like to have seen this McCain from the onset. It would have made for a more interesting general election.

Some examples of questions Sean Hannity might ask at a Presidential debate:

“Senator Obama, why is McCain so awesome?”

“Senator McCain, please speak about whatever topic you wish.”
“Senator Obama, why do you condone terrorism?”

“Senator McCain, which adjective more accurately describes you, heroic or noble?”
“Senator Obama, which adjective more accurately describes you, traitorous or malevolent?”

“McCain, you may now make your closing remarks.”

“And that concludes the 2008 Presidential Debate.”

That is the problem with right wing weirdoes is that they cry foul when everything is not tipped in their favor. They are really just complaining because the moderator WAS neutral. Look at who they suggest as moderator. They want their own people. They want the fantasy world that exists on the Fox network. They believe their own silly propaganda. That is why they have such a time in the real world. I mean listen to them. These MORONS actually think Obama is connected to terrorists because of his name.

McCain? Please. He is a confused old man who is used to be kind of cool and is nothing more then a old guard republican catering to the conservatives in desperate attempt to be elected. He sold out as shown by even considering Sarah Palin let alone picking her.

Grammaddy may I have some of whatever you are smoking? You are deluding yourself if you believe that McCain has fallen in the polls because of Palin, The main reason McCain has fallen in the polls is the economic situation …… his falling in the polls coincides with the economic downturn.

The economic crisis is Barack Obama's best friend ….. sad thing is Democrats pushed the changes that helped bring this about.

Does anyone get the impression that McCain has just sort of given up? I genuinely get the feeling that he just doesn't care anymore and that the debates with Obama were more of an inconvenience that he just wanted to finish so he could get on with his life. I tend to think that the old McCain was a reasonably honorable man, but the new McCain has sold out all of his principles and he doesn't seem comfortable with that. I wonder if he thinks being president in the current mess is even worth it? Just a thought…

I somewhat agree, rodentgirl. The idea of the old McCain (the one that was around in 2000) running during this election scared me. He used to have a great capability of drawing in moderate votes. He used to be easy to listen to. Now, he just seems bitter and is unable to put together a solid answer without some sort of insult, major stumble, or “friend.” I don't know if it's age, or the fact that he's under tremendous pressure now that things aren't looking so optimistic for him.

So, McCain was for ACORN before he was against it!

And, also, I was amazed (yet not surprised) that McCain did not know the difference between Down syndrome (could also be spelled as Down's) and autism. VP candidate Palin has a child with DS, *not* autism.

I have worked with autistic and DS adults in the past. In my experience, Downs and autism were mutually exclusive. McCain doesn't care—to him, Downs, autistic, they're all retarded. I know the mindset.

McCain lost the debate to me right there. Note to McCain, Palin, and any other sub-educated electoral candidates: if you're not fully sure of what you're talking about, shut up.

As far as the verbal pauses that McCain says, you have not listened to Obama lately then. It may be the fact that you have selective hearing and do not hear his verbal pauses.

I am very unhappy with the Democratic Party. As gas rose to $4 a gallon, nancy pelosi and the house went on vacation and did not allow an up and down vote on the energy bill. The Clinton admin started this housing mess with “let's make sure everyone has a home whether they can pay for it or not”. When the Republicans and OFHEO (Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight) brought up the allegation that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were managing earnings improperly the Democrats praised Mr. Frank Raines for doing an outstanding job and ignored the allegations. Now look at the mess we are in. Furthermore, Raines happens to be Obama's economic advisor.

Hi Mike Blur,

We thought the same thing while watching — is he seriously confusing Down syndrome with autism? But I did look it up just in case, and I saw online that Palin's sister has a 13-year-old boy with autism. So that may be what he was talking about.

On the other hand, it may have been a mistake by McCain. I don't know. Frankly I'd be surprised if he even knew she had a nephew.

(BTW the trend nowadays (in medical literature and in the AP Style Guide) is to remove the apostrophe and “s” from syndromes. So: Down syndrome, not Down's syndrome. The reasoning goes: eponymous diseases or syndromes are named after the doctor who described the condition, but the doctor does not actually have the condition. Losing the apostrophe-s gets rid of that connotation of ownership or possession.)

KansasPerson, McCain was referring specifically to Sarah Palin and not her sister Heather. McCain had no idea what he was talking about, and he should have shut up.

I spent two years working with developmentally disabled people. One time, I pulled an 18-inch length of string out of an “client's” anus, on nurses' orders (she was on the phone, and the client was at risk of consuming the length of string again.)

I know, through personal experience, the “difference” between types of DD persons, and I know when politicians such as McCain are blowing smoke up my backside (no pun intended.) McCain and Palin should not hold her DD baby up as an electoral prop. That is just sick and insane.

Just when I could not believe the McCain strategy could be dumbed-down any further by the likes of “Joe Six Pack”, now we have “Joe the Plumber”. I find it remarkable that a plumbing business could exceed 250k in net income after properly deducting all business expenses. If so, the tax system has graduated rates, so only the net income above this amount would be taxed at the higher rate. The additional taxes would be far more minimal than the fear-mongering McCain would leave you to believe. Keep in mind 1st year businesses can also take advantage of accelerated deductions on equipment investments. Unbelievably weak that they are using this as a major part of their campaign.

Here are some other points that bothered me in no particular order:
1) He was extremely discourteous and even mocking when referring to or addressing his opponent. Obama, on the other hand exhibited patience and calm.
2) After Obama made a point, McCain on two occasions tried to deride it as eloquence. I read into it as Obama skillfully being able to answer the question and express his view.
3) After complaining about the negative tone of the campaign, he brings up the William Ayers thing…also after making bizzare comments about the Town Hall Meetings, and trying to settle some score about some criticism he received by someone other than Obama. And then asking Obama to repudiate it! Weird.
4) Misusing the word Federalist (as mentioned above).
5) While talking about the hatchet he mocked the scalpel. If he really wants to use the hatchet why doesn't he pull us out of Iraq right now (I don't necessarily support this), but he is unwilling to admit this war has been draining our resources.

I read up on McCain and understand that he is a highly honorable man (and courageous) but it is somewhat displeasing to see him descend like he is.

About Obama, I give him courage for calmly standing his ground with decency. To my knowledge he has not brought up the Keating five controversy. Nor has he bothered to find another “telescope” or something like that in a McCain supported budget.

Obama won the debate but McCain could have done better at informing people about Obama's associations on his way up the politcal ladder in Chicago. Years ago I remember the admonition of those trying to persuade radicals like Ayers, the terrorist-bomber-turned-liberal-professor in Illinois, to stop the violence and work to change “things” by working within the system. They did and they are Indeed within the system, especially places like Columbia, Obama's alma mater. Ayers is doing his “professoring” within the university system in Illinois where Obama found his way to the US Senate though his community organizing endeavors, and I think his association with ACORN is not a coincidence in that regard.

I agree with you! I am a special education teacher and was wondering exactly why having a child with down syndrome would make her an expert on autism. I would wager that she is not an expert on anything concerning special education yet. Furthermore McCain does not have a platform for special education on his website. He does mention autism but that is all I can see. Obama does have a platform to address the needs of people with disabilities. I would have thought McCain/Palin would have bothered with addressing special needs on their website given she is an expert.

I don't think the moderator is the source of McCain's bad polling. I think McCain cooked his own goose with his inability to control his contempt and hostility.

I agree with you on Capitalism. But Capitalism can benefit by partnering up with Governemnent. This also creates jobs in the private sector. Sometimes it is taken to the extreme (ie Haliburton) but it does create jobs, especially if they are infrastructure and technology project ventures. I call it keynesian economics……not Socialism.
