The Debates-Part 3
Well, Obama held the status quo yet again last night.
McCain was better this time out than last time, as he went on the offensive as expected.
He was a little more vigilant about not letting Obama get away with falsehoods and didn't let him get away with dominating the debate by smoothing over his own contradictions (which Obama did several times) and other than the one time moderator, Tom Brokaw-who did a fairly decent job-let Obama go over the alloted time, McCain reeled him in on that, too.
This time, McCain got right on Obama as soon as Obama tried to paint McCain with that ol' "same as Bush" garbage about voting along the same lines as the president. As I said in a previous post, most of those votes were to disallow Democrat pork and pet projects and overspending. Last night, McCain vindicated me on that when he made that point clear.
Another point he made clear was that "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" remark. As Sarah Palin pointed out in her debate with Joe Biden (who after doing some fact checking on his remarks, doesn't know shite from shinola) McCain was referring to the American worker and their work ethic.
If you know my scoring system, based on the other two debates, I scored this one 5-3 in favour of McCain. So again, I believe McCain won the debate (and again I bet you're not surprised) But I also believe Obama once again didn't lose anything here, therefore he didn't lose anything in the poles.
Obama is good. He's very, very good. Oh, I still think he's a fraud, he's just a very, very good one. How else would he have gotten this far with no experience, crooked friends and a terrorist committee partner? I mean aside from the MSM covering it up?
That stuff was supposed to come up, but with the preconceived format and questions directed to both candidates, they never had the opportunity to do so. Too bad.
There were questions from the audience and questions sent in via the internet that were specifically aimed at one of the two candidates. The web questions were chosen by Brokaw. I'm willing to bet the farm that there were more than a few ones in there that Brokaw didn't choose to ask because he probably didn't find them "prudent" enough.
Two things that bothered me about McCain's plan of attack last night:
One, when discussing the economic disaster and the democrats part in it, he didn't name names as he should have.
Two, he didn't hammer Obama like he should have. again, with the whole William Ayres thing; who cares if obama came back with that whole Price thing.
McCain had nothing to do with it, he was exonerated and nothing even remotely close to that sort of "scandal" has touched him since, so bring it on.
McCain is going to have to start getting mean if he is going to win this election.
There is still time to do so and you never know, we may still see that old "October surprise." If he doesn't and if there isn't, President-Elect Obama will be a scary reality.
