Isn't "whip Obama's you-know-what" borderline racist? He could have chosen a better word than "whip". Oh well, I guess when you are down, you may as well play for the bigot vote.

Interesting fact I noticed watching the two candidates taking notes during the debate: both McCain and Obama are left-handed.

More of the same. Underdog McCain tried to stick in few jabs but they fell flat. Obama was surprisingly unremarkable. If only he had a bit more gravitas about him. The town hall format made it as dull as a doornail. On balance, no clear winner. So McCain loses. Time…

Another telling factor is that Obama replied to the negative charges about his supposed "association" with Ayres directly--he did not use Biden as a shield. This makes McCain look bad in my book, sending out the attack dog and trying to stay above the muck. And that tactic has clearly…

Yeah, well, with all the new-fangled natto making techniques these days, these folks just wanted to get Bach to basics.

Can McCain even remember what he did when he was eight years old? Sarah Palin, 44, was probably watching The Brady Bunch. So should she be accused of "palling around with Marcia Brady"? Now there's a thought. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!

Obama predicted this turn of events in his acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention: when the other side is desperate, they will use fear tactics instead of addressing the issues, because quite frankly, they have worked in the past. Of course some people will be swayed by these fear-mongering tactics.…

There are only so many hail Mary passes you can throw in a football game. Looks like this one just went into the sidelines. If McCain-Palin was looking for an October surprise, this ain't it. They gotta do better than that.

I only caught the tail end of the first McCain/Obama debate and it looked like McCain had Obama on the ropes, going on the offensive with his "Senator Obama just doesn't understand." In this one, however, Biden didn't have to say anything about Palin not understanding because it was so…
