[flvegan]

1. YEAH! Brought up comments made at Palin rallies.

[pookieblue]

128. McCain just sounded like a big

jackass...

"yeah, I know that BUT..."

I don't know how else to explain it.. .but he sounded like a whiny kid who didn't get his way....

[occe]

2. Get it together Obama

He's doing okay, but COME ON.

[Occam Bandage]

7. So very concerned.

[progressivebydesign]

I'm enjoying the side show in the threads tonight. Same meme repeated over and over...

"mccain's winning" "get it together Obama" etc. etc. etc. what a joke.

[johnnyrocket]

3. Hmm, still waiting for a knockout from O.

[jazzjunkysue]

16. the independents don't want a knockout-They want a president.

[jazzjunkysue]

4. NAIL THE BIMBO!!!

Obama's playing him at a grand piano!


rocknation

[fishwax]

Maybe he'll blow completely :)

[Occam Bandage]

12. McCain is interrupting left and right.

[XOKCowboy]

13. Did you hear that sigh???

Sounded mean!!!

[ikojo]

119. Didn't the corporate media go ballistic over Al Gore

when he sighed, I think it was at the presidential debate at Washington Univ in 2000.

I doubt the media will say anything about McCain's rudeness, but if Obama interrupted the way McCain has then it'd be all over the press.

I wish we had a free press.

[WeDidIt]

14. McCain can't shut hsi face. He's being nasty. n/t

[rocktivity]

15. He's interrupting--he's losing control!!!

rocknation

[jazzjunkysue]

I think gramps is going to snap this time.

[occe]

17. Does mccain stop fucking interruping Obama?

[MorningGlow]

18. Bam! He says it again!

FINALLY. McNasty won't say it, so Obama does. "Palling around with terrorists". YES. Bring it out into the open!

[spanone]

19. 'you're gonna have some fringe people'

[johnnyrocket]

20. Obama should just needle him, 'till McCain BLOWS!

[AbbeyRoad]

wtf is he talking about?

he's out of his mind.

[paparush]

21. McCain saying the "Kill Him" crowd is just fine..and the most dedicated and patriotic men and women.

[fishwax]

29. he "won't stand" for anything bad being said about them

What a jackass.

[ladym55]

22. McCain is cutting into Obama

He's just such a complete and total jackass. He is stumbling on his words.

[spanone]

[renie408]

24. You mean like your campaign chair? he called them 'nuts'!!

[Dukkha]

25. video doesn't like McSame your rallys are lynch mobs!

Don't take up forensics.

[progressivebydesign]

Every time? WTF is McNasty smoking?? He did it ONCE after he got his wrist slapped!

[BattyDem]

He's bitching about T-SHIRTS?!?

How does a T-shirt compare to a death threat?

[AndreaCG]

32. What a distorton of Obama's stating that people have shouted Kill me

He hasn't disowned those people and Palin certainly hasn't.

[WinkyDink]

33. MORE SCOFFING. McCain's OBVIOUSLY been told to LAUGH, INTERRUPT, and IMPLY that Obama is a LIAR.

[Blasphemer]

McCain wants this debate to be about nonsense b/c he can't win on issues... he looks like an @ss..nt

[spanone]

34. obama taking it back to the IMPORTANT TOPICS .....YES BARAK

[KansDem]
