    Not at all. McCain is basically saying that if something were to happen to him that his VP is the most suitable person to lead the country, which she clearly isn't, and when you take into account McCain's age there is every reason to believe that something might happen to him in the next 4-8 years.

    Plus you seem to think Obama is as inexperienced as Palin, which he isn't

    Obvious but still funny. Had tears of laughter myself.

    Did any one else hear the Obama speech today where he said "if you put lipstick on a pig it is still a pig..." He needs to stay away from comedy

    Of course it would have been much wiser. But there's nothing like a panicky nest of liberals to make bad decisions.

    The "Independent" ads have started... McCain "swift boated"?



    Full story here

    Sunday, for instance, a group called Brave New PAC put up an ad on MSNBC and CNN. It features Phillip Butler, a former Navy pilot, Vietnam prisoner of war and contemporary of McCain's at the Naval Academy and in the POW camps.

    The ad aims at the core of McCain's image — his reputation as a POW and Vietnam War hero.

    "He would blow up and go off like a Roman candle. John McCain is not somebody that I would like to see with his finger near the red button," Butler says in the ad.

    Monday afternoon, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds called the ad "vile" and said it was put out "apparently at the behest" of the Obama campaign.

    Anyone but McCain, who's a deluded geriatric. As someone once said, "He's the wrong kind of Republican......"

    Well, we are through the looking glass now people.

    McCain suspends the campaign to return to Washington to help with the crisis. Obama calls his bluff in a masterful performance.

    McCain is all over the place - getting killed in the polls - getting killed on the economy and plays the ultimate political political stunt

    For complete legend on this go to Dave - http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/

    ..who flays him alive.

    This is amateur hour - unfortunately the guy is losing it. My prediction is that he continues to get killed in the polls and in order to close the gap, the GOP will pull out the big guns - namely the race card.

    Expect one last push from the southern chapter of the GOP in one final attempt to close the gap.

    Utterly devoid of credibility and integrity, these people

    Yeah, he looks like he's on the ropes a wee bit alright but he's been there before. And on top of that there is, relatively speaking, a long way to go yet. Plenty of time for an October surprise to be wheeled out.

    And then that Palin wan, jaysus but she's dim. Katie Couric yesterday asked her about a McCain advisor being linked with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Her answer was terrible, I was actually embarassed for her.
    EDIT: Heres the link:


    And I think it was a couple of weeks ago she was asked a question (must see if its on youtube somewhere) on energy policy, and even Wolf Blitzer came out and alluded that her answer made no sense whatsoever.

    I am surprised that none of the satellite channels are covering the debate live.

    I would have thought it would have been on Sky, CNN Fox or the BBC.

    Watched part of the debate earlier, McCain didn't come off very well, and was corrected by Obama far more than he corrected Obama.
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook
