I am glad I choose My Friends over maverick for my drinking game.

I told my wife that my beer would have gotten warm if I had chose maverick. :(

It was almost impossible to focus on what McCain was saying since he kept saying "My friends" over and over and over.

Thank you. Numerous times I found myself fighting against zoning out. Halfway through most of McCain's replies I kept having to ask my parents if they remembered what the question was, cause I sure as hell didn't.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
okay the threads getting a bit weird now.

edit: The first post of this thread had links to where you could stream the debate live, should be some videos of it up by now.

Something from 538

9:57 PM [Sean] By the way, a special shout out for an absolutely horrible experience on the campus of Belmont University. I'm not sure I've ever been to a less welcoming place. We hated this campus and the staff here so much that we left to watch the debate at a pizza joint. I don't like to regret things, but it would be hard to overstate how terrible a day this has been, and how crappy every interaction we had in Tennessee was. It was a terrible decision to leave Indiana and come down here. That had to be said for the record.

Gibbs missed the perfect opportunity with Hannity, which is Hal Turner.

"What were you doing pallin' around with a Neo-Nazi, sir? Were you wrong? Should you still have a radio and tv show? I don't think so. People need to know about you and Hal Turner. People need to know this."

That was a REALLY strange proposal. I think it's going to go down about as well as comission to investigate the financial crisis: a suggestion that is not mentioned again.

Dunno. Maybe he meant that bright idea to be a bombshell proposal. It landed with a thud.

Yeah, to be honest, all us folks who're paying a mortgage on a small house we can actually afford think that stinks. It's NIMBY-ism, but it's human nature.

I do not want to subsidize someone's McMansion. Fuck that.

Then my apologies, as I don't think you're a dumbass. =)

After 2004 though, I don't trust absentee balloting or early voting, and I don't even really trust voting in person on election day either, but it's the best option. It seems like I'm not alone in mistrusting an Ohio election, too.

So if it was so busy in Columbus for early voting, I wonder why supposedly only 3,000 people did it in (I'm guessing here) Franklin, Cuyahoga, Lucas and Hamilton counties?

I heard the 3000 number too on NPR driving into work. I was very surprised to hear it, given the hype. I do hope people on both sides decide to vote early, because it'd be a shame to see anything like 2004 in Ohio, where people were more or less disinclined to hang around at the polls as long lines led around city blocks beyond 9pm.

Especially in Cuyahoga county, where they've had umpteen problems with Diebold's shitty electronic voting machines and the back-and-forth on what to use. It'll be a miracle if only ten thousand people in the Cleveland area are disenfranchised come election day.

That reminds me of the people who bashed Mythbusters' plane on a conveyor experiment saying it wasn't done properly "because the plane took off."

They should definitely whine more. That's been working out great.

This campaign has imploded.

:lol

edit: I read it wrong, it was:

Barack Obama's Intrade value will increase more than John McCain's following the 2nd Pres. Debate

Real town halls are packed with republican supporters, only have questions you know in advance, and everyone is required to laugh at your jokes under gunpoint.

LOLOL. McCain is bizarre...it's like the bailout bill all over. Right after he signs it, he's out there saying it's a terrible bill and president Bush should veto it.

First tragedy, then farce.
Good Good,

I had an oppurtunity to get drunk with a hot female, and I already knew my boy Obama killed it, so I had faith. Good to see the American people rewarded me.

Once again, I called this debate more then 3 weeks ago. Its so fucking over with.

Wait, are those intrade numbers legit? :lol

Not like either candidate followed the rules. Both spoke well beyond their allotted time... it wasn't like Brokaw let Obama speak for 10 minutes and then hit the buzzer on McCain right at the 2:00 mark.

This is pretty much an admission by the McCain camp that they think this went really badly for their maverick... crony... whatever.

Letting people re-negotiate the terms of their loans (because they made bad decisions/victims of predatory lending) is bad. Adjusting the principle. WTF is McCain thinking?

He was the favorite on foreign policy - the first debate - as well.

Just think: the last debate is entirely focused on domestic policy.

McCain's weakness.

You know, just when I thought I couldn't agree with Obama more, this town hall happened. Thank god he didn't agree to that format, this would be one boring-ass election.
