The Debates and Politics This Week

It was interesting watching them. I thought both candidates made points. I think McCain needed a nockout blow and didn't get one. People will be surprised by how well Obama did. It was interesting watching McCain deny the comments that Henry Kissinger just made about engaging Iran. McCain was looking to draw distinction but really only split hairs. Obama made the greater point that engagement has proven the more successful tactic when dealing with rogue nations. McCain really should pay attention to what his surrogates are saying instead of just denying that they said anything (Remember Phil Gramm). He is still adapting to the you tube world. We can google it John McCain and it only makes you look like a liar. I don't think he is paying attention.

Not to change topics but did anyone watch Letterman the other night? Apparently McCain blew off a spot on his show to head back to Washington to save us all from his voting record but really went on Katie Couric instead. Letterman went after him with venom. Don't piss Dave off. That is the last thing you want to do!

Its kind of like that time when obama said he was against fisa and then voted for it. He must of forgotten that this is a presidental race not a senate race and people are actually paying attention.

Granted, while a bad vote on Obama's part, I would be curious to know how MCCAin voted. And while he is not perfect, he is a far superior option to MCCain.

Far Superior is an overstatement. What has he done that in the past that makes him such a great canidate. He has gone back on many of the points he has made in the past. Though Mccain has a lot of views that i don't agree with he also has a lot of good views that he has stood for over the years. Obama has not had any views or has ran anything in his life. He though is a good speaker and like any good car sales man has sold every one a lemon and called it a BMW. He wil win the election but he will cause more problems with his growth of goverment.
