Battle in the Bible Belt

The Battle Begins
I imagine it's a celebration of the working and middle class tonite. It's not your fault, it's the fatcats in Washington/Wall St. Town meeting style, so I imagine all the questions will be about traffic and weather. Or the price of gas and bringing back not existent well paying factory jobs that require only an 8th grade education and pay a living middle class wage.

There is a certain economic October surprise coming up for the first time in the history of the Ownership Society people will be opening up 401K and other retirement accounts in the next couple of weeks and literally see nest eggs that have evaporated by 15-20% even in conservative investments. What is this effect?

9:00 pm Who are these 80 undecided voters? Man, it's going to take them a long time to order pizza.

9:04 pm southerners? An hour and half, as slow as they talk, they're going to get through about 3 questions. Drink every time a candidate says "middle class", if they add family, drink twice. Apparently, the bald are a major percentage of undecided voters.

9:09 pm OK, so we're cutting taxes and taking on bad mortgages at the same time, awesome. Everybody loves Warren Buffett. I do to, Warren Buffett is not walking through that door.

9:13 pm I'm not sure the who took more money from Fannie/Freddie but all these guys are dirty and loaded with financial sector money and supporters. Unsure why Obama hasn't dropped the Hooveresque "fundamentals are sound" line on McCain's head.

9:23 pm McCain has a secret plan to fix the economy. McCain's "my friends" is Obama's "let's be clear". Obama knows gas prices but nobody, nobody wants to talk about entitlements other than we have to work together, the Congressional equivalent of "yeah, I really do need to lose some weight and exercise"

9:28 pm Some of these lines are getting tired. The 4 billion in tax cuts for oil country for one. Sacrifice? Whoa, good question. McCain hates overhead projectors. Apparently those are causing 500 billion dollar deficits. Nobody is going to answer the sacrifice question. Never mind, in theory it was a good question but no one is answering this question clearly.

9:35 pm WhooHoo, McCain's giving away money!!! And Obama agrees, everybody's getting rich and everybody's getting laid! Another attempt at the entitlement question. Obama skates around it, McCain is getting around a table with deceased Irish American politicians from both sides. OOOOOH, a blue ribbon commission........

9:43 pm Not to stereotype but young sister, are you really a young Black woman for McCain? Everyone loves nukes now. Because it's "clean" energy. More of the voted 23 times, 74 times bullshit, give it a rest, how about some details.

9:47 pm Barack, "the chant is drill, baby, drill." Sorry had a mild Palin flashback. Obama loves Bush and Cheney, my friends. And wants to vote for their pork laden bills.

9:51 pm My second debate in a row without whiskey, I totally forgot. Damn these two candidates are underwhelming. John, don't make me do math. Oh, good Lord, he's starting to sound like my wife's grandmother, I'll agree with you if you just stop talking.... Anything you want.

9:59 pm Good line by McCain about on the job training for commander in chief. One thing about these debates, at the beginning of debates can we all agree to agree that we all appreciate the service of our soldiers and that we are the greatest country on earth? It just starts to sound trite and insulting.

10:04 pm The Obama Doctrine, Tom, slow the hell down. Hmmh. An Angry Middle doctrine, I like it.

10:14 pm I don't want a friend, I don't want joe six pack, for the love of God somebody show some leadership! OK, maybe I want to really see a debate by the candidate's advisers. Nice use of the word apparatchiks but this should be the last debate, it's just getting repetitive.

10:21 pm McCain "OK, Professor Obama, it's time for me to take you outside and kick your ass. OK, it's back to who loves Israel more time.

10:31 pm Here is Obama's strength, rhetoric on the American economic experience as opposed to McCain's narrative as an American war hero. Both strong, but unsure if in the next 4 weeks that national security will take the upper hand. The Republicans are focusing on fear, things can get much, much worse without a steady hand, The Democrats have some of loose "hope" thing going on.

I have Obama on points on this one. McCain is OK, but he did come across as old. Wolf is a dooshbag,McCain has "disdain" for Obama, take your lazy non journalistic ass to US magazine.
