Sadly redneck Texan chimpansee Bush came through these debates against Kerry in 2004... Why would a decent guy like McCain do any worse?"Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum." -

In any case, the better litmus test was the Democratic primary debates where Obama did poorly, but Biden did very well (IMO). I say McCain takes Obama, and Biden takes Palin."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs [yesterday], the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had "gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers." The companies, as McClatchy reported, "aren't taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may result in a taxpayer bailout during reorganization."
Economists and analysts pounced on the misstatement, saying it demonstrated a lack of understanding about one of the key economic issues likely to face the next administration.
"You would like to think that someone who is going to be vice president and conceivable president would know what Fannie and Freddie do," said Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "These are huge institutions and they are absolutely central to our country's mortgage debt. To not have a clue what they do doesn't speak well for her, I'd say."
Added Andrew Jakabovics, an economic analysts for the progressive think tank, Center for American Progress: "It is somewhat nonsensical because up until yesterday there was sort of no public funding there. Even today they haven't drawn down any of the credit line they have given to Treasury. 'Gotten too big and too expensive' are two separate things. The too big has been a conservative mantra for a while and there is something to be said of that in that they hold about half of the mortgage guarantees that are out there. And in the last year they have been responsible for roughly 80 percent out there. The 'too expensive to tax payers,' I don't know where that comes from."
So you've got complete ignorance of housing policy amidst a nationalization. No wonder the McCain camp tried to delay any interviews for as long as possible. This might have legs, but I don't have any confidence in the media regarding scrutiny of Palin."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

The longer Obama talks, the more he sounds condescending. (I refuse to say he sounds uppity)

It's sad when being too intelligent and well educated are disqualifiers to be President. You'd have thought we'd have learned from electing Bush.Originally posted by rah

McCain graduated 894th in his class of 899.

I don't think Americans are against smart people, but I think one of the guidelines for being considered smart is not making the electorate feel that they're stupid.

McCain should match up well against Obama in the debates. Obama is great at setpiece speechs but performs less well in situations that require him to think and formulate answers on the spot. The opposite is true of McCain.Comment
