McCain has decided to attack whenever possible and place Obama, if possible, on the defensive. This is going to be a long debate. Obama is doing well and keeping his usual cool. McCain, 30 minutes into the debate, is attacking on every response since first question.
Bob Schieffer threw the ball in the air and McCain [...]

Apparently John McCain and his advisers are once again split on his tactics at tonight’s final debate of the 2008 election. One of the options is to use Rev. Wright as an attack device.
With Bob Schieffer of CBS News as the moderator it’s almost inevitable that he will bring up the last two week’s of [...]

Via Lawrence O’Donnell on the HuffPo:
When Colin Powell turns off his TV after the final presidential debate, he will have learned everything he is going to learn about the candidates vying to succeed his former boss, George W. Bush. Powell has made it clear that he has been thinking about an endorsement for a long [...]

Democracy Corps had a focus group of undecided voters in Nevada watch last night’s debate:
“Unlike the first debate, when Democracy Corps research showed half the voters remaining undecided and the two candidates splitting the other half, the vote following the second debate showed a decisive shift toward Senator Obama. This debate was a clear victory [...]

Amidst a discussion of health care in which both candidates rattled off plans for tax credits, debated employment based health care, and praised electronic health records, it was the question from an audience member that really told of one of those “fundamental differences”.
The question of the night went to Lindsey Trella, “Senator, selling health care [...]

Maybe after I’ve had more time to think about this goddamn crap I’ll be able to give a better reading of the debate.
Obviously both Obama and McCain were more aggressive. The constant contradictions of each other wore on me deeply. There are definite written plans. Why can’t we get any newsperson or moderator who has [...]

During the vice presidential debate it became clear that Sarah Palin had not boned up too much on health care as she ducked and dodged Gwen Ifill’s questions on the subject. Biden ended the talk on health care with the zinger of the night. The CNN transcript speaks for itself with my editorializing italicized. Joe Biden [...]

Whoops! Got a little chatty with the ol’ ball n’ chain the ol’ man SSG Dizzy, today, then got caught up in a lot of necessary real life stuff. Who knew growing a rock could be so much work (true story)? Except for that time of month, “better late than never”, I always say.
