So yeah.. I fell asleep before the debate and woke up with about 20 minutes left, so I only got a chance to see the extra-unhinged McCain give that ridiculous and unbelieveable answer about abortion, the stupid answer about wanting to close schools that are "failing" and the whole not knowing the difference between autism and down's syndrome.
Anyways yeah Johnny Boy.. if you're gonna say "health" is how Obama and the Dems try to "killing babies", then I'm gonna say that closing "failing schools" is just the batshit crazy Republican way of you saying "them negroes don't need no edumacation".

Oh yah and one more thing - McCain thinks being certified to teach is not necessary?? He thinks people who've been in the military should just be allowed to go straight into a classroom, pick up the chalk and start molding young minds?! NO FUCKING THANKS.

It’s Really, Really, Really Over
To my eyes and ears, Obama destroyed McCain on substance as well as style last night. Obama had clear substantive answers to every question, he seemed calm and measured, and his closing statement was as devastating as McCain's was rambling. Sure, he took a few liberties with the facts--even his own campaign is saying that the average family will save $2,500 in total from his health plan, not $2,500 in premiums alone--but this was a confident debate performance in which Obama again and again reached out to independents with a call for a new kind of politics and drove home his advantage on economic policy.
McCain, on the other hand, really had a disastrous performance. Even if he hadn't looked as if he were undergoing some kind of strange, recurrent seizure, he threw out his points in staccato fire without pausing or linking them together. On substance, he didn't know the basics of Obama's health and tax plans after three debates, leaving himself open to looking ill-informed. McCain was very strong in the first debate, on his favored foreign-policy ground, but his performances have steadily degenerated since. This was his worst--and it's the final nail in an already tightly sealed coffin.
By the way, we political scientists generally subscribe to the "minimal effects" view of campaigns, in which both sides are savvy enough that their efforts cancel each other out. And this certainly seems like an election in which the fundamentals have swamped any campaign strategies either side has used. But I think it's time to recognize that Obama has done something more profound in this cycle than simply run a smart campaign; he is showing that the old Republican strategy on economic policy of calling for tax cuts and criticizing government, while thowing mud in every other area, has real limits when the other side directly confronts it with arguments for "investment" and more carefully targeted tax policies.
We can only hope that it really is the end of the Karl Rove era in American politics. It's certainly the end of John McCain's campaign.
Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to give you all a quick heads up that Steph is scheduled
to be on CNN Headline News today at 5pm Eastern / 2pm Pacific to
discuss last night's debate. Be sure to tune in to cheer her on!

There is more trouble this week for Harry Sargeant, the Florida fundraiser who has been bundling checks for Republican Sen. John McCain.
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) released a letter today outlining his findings after reviewing contracts Sargent's oil company brokered with the U.S. Department of Defense.
They aren't pretty.
"I have been conducting oversight of procurement problems in Iraq since the war began over five years ago. The IOTC contracts stand out for the extent of the company's apparent profiteering," Waxman wrote. "Of the $210 million in profits received by the company, at least one third -- $70 million -- appears to have benefited a single individual: Mr. Sargeant."
At issue were the prices Sargeant's company, the International Oil Trading Company, charged for jet fuel. Waxman said the company offered the highest prices of six companies to bid for the military contract, but won because it was the only one with the blessing of the Jordanian royal family to deliver fuel over Jordanian land.
Waxman says that if the oil contracts Sargeant's company had been awarded to the lowest bidders, the taxpayers could have saved over $180 million.

John Zogby Statement on Political Message Testing
There have been attacks in recent blog posts concerning survey questions Zogby International asked on behalf of a client. The client is Newsmax, a well-known conservative magazine.
The questions were legitimately worded message tests to accurately determine voter sentiment concerning charges leveled against Sen. Barack Obama. Understand that we at Zogby International conduct a lot of similar research for left, right and center interests and fairly believe that our data is part of a broader process that serves to illuminate real voter sentiment—warts and all. In many instances over the years, voters have strongly disagreed with the interests of our clients and at other times they have agreed—this is what good research is all about.
Our process provides a much more beneficial role to the public discourse than the one-dimensional, adolescent rantings of many blogs, both left and right.
