Tonight we have the final presidential debate for the 2008 cycle, and if you’re in the Twin Cities area, we have some party ready for you! AM1280 The Patriot will host a debate party at Trocadero’s in Minneapolis tonight. The Northern Alliance Radio Network will emcee an evening of fun and politics, including my radio partner Mitch Berg, Power Line, SCSU Scholars, and Fraters Libertas. We’ll have free appetizers and a cash bar. The debate goes from 8pm CST to 9:30pm CST and doors will open around 7:30pm. Admission is free – but please RSVP at the handy AM1280 RSVP Page so we can plan accordingly.
You won’t miss anything at Hot Air, either, if you’re not able to make it to the party. We’ll have a live chat room running during the debate, with Jazz Shaw and Lady Logician moderating a cast of thousands — literally! Since the live streaming has interfered with the operation of the blog for some Hot Air readers, we’ll skip that and stick with the chat room.
I’ll also make a post-debate appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show at 10:30 CT to discuss the night’s events and their implication for the election. And yes, I shamelessly recycled the first two paragraphs of this post from my pre-debate analysis. I’m all about efficiency, baby!

Please, please let this line of criticism stick…
sulla on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Live birth and partial birth issues. Glad to see McCain hit that.
Star20 on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
“Present” votes.
Heh!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
“I don’t know how you vote present on that”
carbon_footprint on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Obama is using the Populist theme way too much.
Nelsa on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Infanticide Barry!
profitsbeard on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Barry should have just stuck to parroting John’s position about not having a litmus test, but there is a resistance to Palin b/c of her pro-Life position. He needs to talk about Barry’s infanticide crap.
Over30 on October 15, 2008 at 10:12 PM
Ouch!
baldilocks on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
McCain takes him to woodshed!
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Awesome!
CanadianGuy on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Holy SHIT, did Palin put a Mac outfit on and stand in for him?
Bishop on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Here comes the LIE…
fossten on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
What I find most amazing about obama is he talks the talk on the debates but when it comes to action his record shows just the opposite!…he must really think people believe what EVER he says!!
christene on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
smackity-smack
custer on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM

palefaced on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
2 for 2 on abortion Johnnyy’s got his mojo tonight!
olmojoe on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
John, Barry opened up the equal pay can o’ worms… open your can o’whoop ass and point out how Barry talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk. Barry’s female staff is paid $.83 on the dollar.
Sparky on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
yea…but…
jerrytbg on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Liar, Liar. Pants en fuego!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
LIE!
dugan on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Barry almost said … “because it’s not a BABY”
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Dig yourself out, Barry. We’d all like to see it.
CherokeeJack on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
You lying sack of shit liar!
carbon_footprint on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Bambi’s going to get busted on this one-
anniekc on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Present!
Sparky on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
It IS true, you POS!!!
uncivilized on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
Mccain should use the term infanticide.
lavell12 on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
McCain is just flat out kicking his ass. Where has this been?
roninacreage on October 15, 2008 at 10:13 PM
YOUUUUUU FFLLLOOOOCCCCKIIINNNGGGG LLIIIIIIIIAAAAARRRRRRR!!!
Bishop on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Predictable BS dance by Barry
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
“In direct contradiction to the views of mainstream America…” YES
Oh, Obama says his infanticide vote “is not true” and then giggles, as in, “Oops, i just lied on national television. I bet John’s gonna bring that up.”
Rational Thought on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
ROFL!
Ugly on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
squirm Barry, squirm
common sensineer on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
What about the BABY’S life you dolt?
fossten on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Nope… nothing is true.
I that was not my vote that I thought I knew.
Damiano on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
Oh, yeah, and Barry pays his women on the campaign LESS than the men!
He voted for partial birth abortion!
HornetSting on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
McCain has to take this to the woodshed, Ads should be made out of this LIE
jp on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
He’s lying about the late term abortion legislation in Illinois.
yo on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
hi my name is Barry, and i Lie whenever it suit me.
custer on October 15, 2008 at 10:14 PM
common ground?
Nelsa on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
McCain should ask: Barry, why not always err on the side of life of the child?
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Youre about to get fact checked you lying ass bitch.
Game over asshat.
Bishop on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
This fraud is gonna smooth-talk his way to the White House.
Flat out lie on this live birth issue by Obama. This is bunk.
dugan on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
get that finger going, Barry. We will sure buy your crap whn you wave your hands and and say the magic words.
olmojoe on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Don’t let him get away with these lies, John!
IrishEi on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Dude lies like a Clinton, I’ll give him that.
sulla on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Good luck finding that common ground dipstick. Oh GOD Planned Parenthood is going to reem him for that!
anniekc on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Yeah, sex-ed for kindergarten children.
carbon_footprint on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
common ground=Barry flailing
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Veiled slap at Bristol Palin. Stay classy, Barry.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Is it just me, or does 0bama look like he has aged about 10 years in the last hour?
LegendHasIt on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Hes’ against partial birth abortion funny I thought he voted for it FACT CHECK
dhunter on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
Adoption and keeping the baby…McCain and Palin aren’t just talking about it, they are living it.
baldilocks on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
John… hit him on “punished with a baby”
Damiano on October 15, 2008 at 10:15 PM
McCain’s plan to allow insurance across state lines and kill health mandates that people don’t want to pay for will lower those health care costs immediately.
You (and I) would be able to get a GROUP policy through organizations like NFIB.
That is, unless you’re trolling here?
McCain/Palin ‘08
ex-Democrat on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
This livestream sucks. I can never keep up. Have no idea where we are. Geez.
Over
1GooDDaDDy on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Bridget McCain. First time he’s mentioned her. Thank you, John.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I think McCain has discoverved that he actually likes being a conservative! Took him long enough…better late….
joepub on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
He missed the opportunity to point out that Obama pays his female staff .83 cents to a male staffers dollar.
roninacreage on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Say “PUNISHED WITH A BABY,” Mac!
fossten on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
speak for the unborn
custer on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
When John brings up the tough abortion areas (partial birth, no care for infant after a failed abortion) the women on the graph dropped to single digits. Women really don’t want to be reminded of the horror of it. Now Bario is smooth talkin about the ban on partial birth yada yada and the needle rises. Options and help for single mother and the needle is off the charts. John starts talking and the needle is below 50%. Adoption…. rises far more for the men than the women.
NightmareOnKStreet on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
senator Government!
Enoxo on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
I’m sorry, but i just looove McCain’s air quotes when he talks about the “fancy words” Obama’s using. He is just smacking him in the face over and over. I keep hearing that cartoon sound, whap, whap, whap.
Rational Thought on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Ass hat liar.
Bishop on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
Need to role out that girl in the 527 who is a suvivor of Live Birth Abortion. She should be on campaign Trail with Palin and call Obama out on these Lies
jp on October 15, 2008 at 10:16 PM
he should have raised the “punished with a baby” line.
CanadianGuy on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Schieffer has been the best moderator of all. He let both candidates speak, and more importantly, he brought up issues that all the other jerks avoided.
IrishEi on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Secretary of Education under Senator Government: William Ayers
carbon_footprint on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Stop teaching communism and start teaching the 3Rs.
baldilocks on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Barry’s answer will be MONAY!!! Monay for teacher’s unions so they can invite first graders to their lesbian weddings!
olmojoe on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Hit him on funding radical education in Chicago thru the woods board that he sat on with Ayres.
church on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
early childhood education=socialist endoctrination
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Good education question. Shaeffer has some good questions.
Bishop on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Will someone scrape Obama’s ass off McCain’s shoe?
CC – BHO: “my Muslim faith”
CapedConservative on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
OK, John. Hit him with his work on Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Remember? EPIC FAIL!
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
Glibosity
PaCadle on October 15, 2008 at 10:17 PM
McCain won.
Was it big enough?
Doubt it .. missed a few opportunities.
All in all though .. very well done.
cgoode777 on October 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Education. I already know what the big “O”’s answer is. Spend more.
Oldnuke on October 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM
It’s the dumbed down curricullum that’s the problem.
roninacreage on October 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM
He wants both. He just voted present in a debate.
Enoxo on October 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Schiefer A+
McCain A-
Obama D-
Goodale on October 15, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Education would be the best time to bring up the CAC, Ayers and the radicalization of students over raising their academic scores. THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SCORE WITH THIS ONE JOHN. AND PLEASE DON’T BRING UP “NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND” -SNOOZEFEST.
