This is no surprise here to me, I know the darkside of the media. This MediaOcracy that will be in place should the misfortune of a Obaba presidency occur will be the beginning to the end of America, Period.

Don’t understand this?….Sensibilities of the obvious to difficult?

I’m simply embarrassed.
I value words, without a higher education…just a higher mindset.
Not born from privlege, but PRIVILEGED to live in America.
We lost it…The last great generation, “graced” us with One DeGeneration after another, and soon on to a third. No turning back.

It’s the culture stupid!.
Thank you!

“As I said at the time, tie goes to the runner on substance, but on style it looks like people favored Obama A LOT more.” - JG

God, I hate to believe we are going to elect a President based on “style” over “substance”, but it sure looks like it. It’ll probably take a year for Americans to realize that we have elected a conventional Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale/Mike Dukakis type of partisan liberal Democrat, and put him in place without an opposition party of any practical consequence in Congress. Barack Obama will have more concentrated unbalanced power in his office with less Congressional opposition than any President in the lifetime of anyone reading this blog. More than GWB - much more. It is a pure “trust me” for someone who has zero record of being what he claims to be and s strong record of being the opposite of what he claims to be. But blind faith knows no reason.

Maybe it can be partially rectified by congressional elections in 2010. But by then, the damage will be done, and we will likely be paying the unintended consequences for decades. Much like we are still paying today for the unintended consequences of LBJ’s Great Society.

Pundit scored it as more of a draw is because they score only on content, dismissing rhetorical style and tactical approach. or is that strategic approach? :-)

I agree the content portion was pretty much a draw. Both made good points. But outside the wonkosphere, people have less tolerance for petty hectoring.

Consider the main phrase each guy had a tendency to repeat. On the one hand, Obama, on more than one occcasion, used the form “John is absolutely right about this part, and here’s where I disagree.” Partisans and wonks saw this as weakness,but I think regular folks liked it. It showed up as grace, and was complimentary of folks in the audience who agreed with points that McCain made.

Meanwhile, McCain kept repeating how Obama “doesn’t get it.” He did this even when Obama had just said something intelligent and sensible. I don’t think McCain realized that every time he said that he was insulting anyone who had just agreed with Obama. I know that at least once when McCain tossed this line out I thought “Hmm, he sounded like he gets it pretty well, John.”

I have conclusive evidence that Martians speak from their rectum, so of course they would empathise with McCain.

All I can say is that if a “martian” came into town with no alliances, allegiances, or bias…etc…it would of been hands down McCain. Give me a break…please, this from an ex-con.

but on style it looks like people favored Obama A LOT more.

Agreed. This statement pretty much sums up the entire 2008 Presidential election campaign.
