Fair enough.

Next question: Would John McCain choose to use Life Alert or some other competitor for use in the Whitehouse since he's definitely in their target market?

I would think Life Alert. He could even be a spokesman for them in those awesome commercials!

Where's that "Will HD swing the election towards Obama?" report from a while ago? HD McCain can't be pretty.

We've already seen McCain in HD at the GOP convention. But tonight the cameras will be closer on him and for longer.

Aren't only like 10% of HDTVs set up properly anyway? Or something. I don't remember the actual statistic but it was pretty dismal.

I'm pretty sure a majority of HDTV owners would vote for Obama anyway when you think about it.

Letterman was awesome and after seeing the Couric interview with Palin, I can not wait for the VP debate(provided that it actually takes place).

That was my next thought. Conclusion: HD will have no impact on tonight's debate results.

You're actually on to something.

Obama supporters will have their shit setup properly and it will drive their disdain for the Arizona Senator even more than it is currently.

McCain supporters will enjoy Wrinkes McGee in overblown SD shittiness.

...and America's IQ slumps another point because of it.

I hereby declare that any network covering the VP debate must have a laugh track at the ready.

Are there actually people out there that think Obama is going to be the one to overturn the right to bear arms? Really? Seriously...

:lol

Palin's answer to Couric questioning her about not getting a passport until recently is so fucking stupid, even by her standards. Jesus.

There are people who think he's a Muslim terrorist, so probably.

Anyone following this, I just ran across this on the front page of search.twitter.com

Apparently twitter-ers are fighting over which nickname to give Palin, Bible Spice (a la Spice Girls) or Caribou Barbie.

Not intrinsically funny, but definitely interesting how it could bubble up to automatic publishing: http://election.twitter.com/topic?t=Bible+Spice

You should have asked if the guy needed any parts for his head and offered to pay for it.

When was the last time McCain had a tough interview? Obama did O'Reilly and he's been taking press questions pretty frequently. Let's hope McLame has his talking points crossed-up...

Part of me keeps screaming that the Palin we saw in the Couric interview is just a clever ruse to make us complacent for the VP debates. But then the rest of me quells its doubts by pointing out that nobody is that good an actor, plus it wouldn't fit with the focus on immediate results and short-term gains that has characterized the McCain campaign.

to his credit, he's been running hte sunday talk show gamut fairly frequently. i don't expect any epic fail for him tonight. plus you have to factor in that he's been rehearsing.
