Maybe the new neocon plan is for McCain to put us all too sleep after he's elected, so we won't notice when they sell the country out from under us.

He can't hear him trying to move on.

McCain is a disgusting prevaractor, a dullard, and the most annoying person to listen to.

Ladies and gentleman, our next president of the united states.

Obama needs to stop saying "John is right". You'll never hear McCain saying "Obama is right", even when he is.

You could past just about any politician's head on these two and it would sound exactly the same.

I love the BBC coverage:

"Rather than go into the spin room and hear campaign operatives spout pre-packaged soundbites about how good their candidate did tonight, we're going to go to our correspondents around the world and see how other countries are perceiving tonight's debate."

And, this is why BBC News is my second favorite news source.

The value of that depends on who exactly they're talking to. I don't suspect the man on the street interview from Paris is any less idiotic than your average man on the street interview from Chicago.

Unless they're going to political observers in which case they are just providing their unofficial spin in place of the official spin.

My view (I did end up watching): Neither particularly embarrassed themself, neither particularly excelled. Everybody will generally come out liking better whoever liked better before.

So surprised that Palin declined to be interviewed afterwards. Can't effing wait for the VP debate.
