		<description>The Video that could cost Obama the election:

Poll finds American reject redistribution of wealth as suggested by Barack Hussein Obama.

PRINCETON, NJ -- When given a choice about how government should address the numerous economic difficulties facing today&#039;s consumer, Americans overwhelmingly -- by 84% to 13% -- prefer that the government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

		<description>McCain needs an ad that replays Obamas &quot;spread the wealth&quot; answer to Joe the Plumber and then refers to him as Senator Government.  Every ad he does from here to the end needs to call Obama Sentor Government.  It was one of the two best lines of the debate along with McCain&#039;s answer that he is not George Bush.

McCain can still win this thing.  Joe the Plumber gave him a gift that is priceless and he needs to drive it home.

Fannie and Freddie love Senator Government.

Senator Government will raise your taxes

Senator Government wants to take over your health care

Senator Government wants to redistribute wealth.

Senator Government wants to increase spending even with a huge defecit

Just keep hammering on Senator Government until every time somebody sees and Obama picture that is what comes into their heads.</description>

We agree that McCain is the better candidate, I would disagree that McCain can point to his service record alone and get elected.  Although I most definitely did not support him in the primaries (Rudy and/or Romney were preferable candidates), I have come to accept McCain as the best of the alternatives.  The candidate is not the problem here. With apologies to Don Rumsfeld, you have to go into the general election with the candidate you have, not the candidate you would prefer.  

The McCain campaign has been rudderless and defensive since the primaries.

- McCain&#039;s life experience shoud be an asset, but has been effectively turned because McCain doesn&#039;t like to talk about his service.  Since when?  McCain&#039;s service was front and center in the primaries.  

- Hillary&#039;s protracted primary battle with Obama was a gift that the McCain camp squandered.  He could have been hammering Obama&#039;s inexperience and youthful naivete along with Hillary back in June.  

- Refusing to touch Rev. Wright this Spring effectively precluded McCain from bringing up Ayers, Rezko, Odinga, and Soros. Buying into the Obama narrative that to challenge Rev. Wright&#039;s liberation theology was racist, it follows that discussions of avowed Marxists and domestic terrorists was likewise coded racism.  

- McCain&#039;s style of Senatorial civility was not shared by Obama when he ran ads insinuating that McCain was too old to operate a computer.   

The McCain camp&#039;s reluctance to go on the offensive calls into doubt not only their will to win but their competence as potential party leaders.</description>

		<description>Biggest disappointment is that neither one acknowledged John Wooden&#039;s 98th birthday the day before.
The greatest coach in athletic history, and one of the greatest &quot;public&quot; men in American history.
And along those lines, you noticed that each of the debates, McCain took some time out to acknowledge someone close to him in pain.  I don&#039;t think that is a ploy, but a sincere respect for someone that he cares about.</description>

		<description>Was anybody else thinking that the look of shock on McCain&#039;s face when Obama denied that he ever agreed to public financing mattered? (I saw it on split screen)

To me it illustrated the smoothness and skill of Obama&#039;s lying and how foreign that is to McCain.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know what these pundits were watching, even the FOX ones. McCain clearly one. Yes he could&#039;ve hit harder, but he&#039;s got limited time and a neutral/hostile moderator. 

On a side note Schieffer was MUCH better than the other moderators. He made the debate about the candidates, not himself. 

I think McCain closed the gap. He got back to basics. He needs to start hitting the Dems over Fannie Mae and ACORN and he really can pull it off. And if he does it right, he can take Congress back too. Let&#039;s not forget they&#039;ve got a 10% approval rating. On what planet do they get a bigger majority? He doesn&#039;t have to stay on Ayers, let Sarahcuda handle that. He needs to stay on the economy and national security. 

Joe the Plumber is the real game changer.</description>

		<description>Every time Obama repeated his &quot;tax cuts for 95% of the middle class&quot; I was hopping McCain would ask him for some examples. How much is he going to reduce each bracket? what&#039;s the amount or percentage cut that a household making 100K can expect? What if you make 30K? There is no way Obambi could answer any of these questions.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I disagree. McCain jabbed at issues. He telegraphed his punches and threw 0.0 combination punches. I agree with Rod Dreher that McCain looked at all times to be irritated and off his game. He appeared to me to have a punch list of “must cover” topics and he was just checking boxes. In the work place we call this minimum competence. McCain tonight was better than the McCain of the first two debates. Yet his performance was minimally competent, he was raising issues and painting narratives he should have raised and painted 3 months ago. McCain has been dining out on his war hero status for over 30 years now, the bill has finally come due.

If nothing else, last night established the Republican Party needs new YOUNGER leadership.

Well I guess I don&#039;t see it that way. I am not impressed by how well a person can &#039;perform&#039; during a debate. I like to hear what they say. I look for substance, not a &#039;performance&#039;. We are not talent scouting here. 
It would be great to have all in one package:the smooth speaker, confident in appearance at all times, knowledgeable, knowledgeable at the drop of a hat, surrounds themselves with principled, hardworking, &amp; those with upright character, etc...
McCain is not my 1st choice, but he does tell the truth. He is a principled man who sticks by his guns &amp; will fight for what he knows is right, even if it&#039;s unpopular. I respect that about him.
So the &#039;performance&#039; is all showmanship. I could tell he was angry and anxious last night, but I read it as &quot;I&#039;m frustrated with the lies &amp; misrepresentations about me &amp; what he says he has said&quot;. I would have felt the same tension.
I could also care less if McCain needs a walker or not. It&#039;s his wisdom &amp; experience we need, not his legs or arms.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;There were several times that he was caught off guard, stumbled, and at least once where he was just plain stumped, unable to respond for several seconds.
That’s composed?

Count to 10 on October 16, 2008 at 10:29 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yes, McCain put him on the ropes several times, specially with abortion, Ayers, ACORN and school vouchers. But the problem is that once he had him on the ropes he did not finish him off, he let Obama slither off with some lame comeback and moved on to another subject. If McCain had kept retorting on these issues he would really have left Obama stumbling badly.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama:

Snake-oil salesman.
Snake charmer.
Snake in the grass.

Did he dispel those notions last night? No.

JiangxiDad on October 16, 2008 at 8:37 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

As Tom Anderson said in 1878,

&quot;The best way to see a snake in the grass is to cut the grass.&quot;

It&#039;s about time McCain got out the lawn mower and did some serious cutting.  He&#039;s only got a few weeks left to expose Obama for what he truly is.</description>
