It's obvious you're not thinking about all of the people who live in those states or else you wouldn't make such a stupid generalization.
via TPM -- McCain: If I Bring Up Ayers At Debate, It Will Be Obama's Fault By Greg Sargent - October 14, 2008, 11:18AM In an interview that John McCain gave to local radio in St. Louis, McCain says that he was "astonished" to hear Barack Obama say recently that he was reluctant to bring up Ayers to Obama's face, and promises that he'll raise the subject at tomorrow's debate. The key news in the interview -- which was flagged by Mark Halperin and which you can listen to here -- is that McCain is already laying the groundwork to blame Obama for his apparent decision to confront Obama over Ayers tomorrow. Asked by his radio host if he'll bring up the former Weatherman, McCain says: It's Obama who has "probably ensured" that McCain will bring up Ayers. What's so lovely about this is that McCain is now portraying his apparent decision to hit on the Ayers association as driven by a need to defend his honor. You see, McCain wouldn't have brought it up, but Obama questioned his manhood, so he's now forced to overcome his reluctance to talk about Ayers in order to defend himself. It's the old warrior's code that's making him do it. http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/mccain_if_i_bring_up_ayers_at.php this is going to be fun!
^ and he doesn't think the Obama camp is going to have the perfect counterpunch ready? Talk about a hanging curveball.
To me, that is like setting a mouse trap. If McCain brings it up, then Obama should have the perfect comeback as Sam said because there would be no surprising element. I'm not sure he should go that route.
I can't fathom how any campaign would not see this coming and avoid it like the plague. McCain is a career senator for flip's sake - bringing up past associations is just a phenomenally dumb move. Even more so when you know the supposed relationships of your opponent are downright silly. I mean hell, this is the kind of setup Obama will be itching for. An Obama rejoinder will be a freeking speech.
obama can sit there, look pretty, be charming, say little, promise a lot and still "win". Mccain is really going to have to pin him down on something hard...which is hard because obama is a slippery one.
How many people vote in the polls? Why are people so confident in polls? They represent how many of the actual people who will vote? I was watching CNN and some dude was talking about the Bradley Effect. This is one of the reasons why the polls are dumb. In fact, Didn't W. lose in the popular vote and still won? Whatever it is, I hope McCain wins.
That's right. Because he "looks presidential". The Paris Hilton effect continues. Romney 2012. He looks more presidential.
not you lil pun. you're okay pretty much ALL people in idaho, wyoming...you know places where i'd get killed. jk. not all...
I don't think I'm going to watch this one. The debates typically get less and less interesting, with less and less effect on the election. Obama would be an idiot not to keep it simple and stay on point, and that will be a repeat of debate #2.
I would like to hear - McCain explains his r****ded medical insurance plan, in a way that doesn't scream more middle class, taxpayer money to the insurance company. Pre-existing condition to be damned. - immigration reform - McCain explains his Medicare stance. Something more substantial than what my 10 years old cousin could come up with. Something better than this
