50. Beep beep. School bus stopping by.
I sent it by personally to pick you up. I see you enjoy stalking me, so here's a little free education for ya. :hi:

If you paid attention, you'd realize that the winner of the debate is not determined by who actually wins the debate on debate night. It's determined by the coverage the following days. If the post debate coverage focuses exclusively on the economy, McCain might as well withdraw from all the battleground states and not just Michigan. McCain's strategists know this. The post debate spin from the Tuesday "debate" will be about how scary and dangerous Obama is. The mainstream media, in the interest of false parity as the equivalence of "fair and balanced" coverage, will augment the talking points from both camps.

MSM covers gaffes, attacks, polls, and campaign tactics. Not issues. What are FOX News and MSNBC focusing on this morning? The Dow futures being down 200+ points? The world stock markets dropping like a rock? That's secondary to them. They're covering the William Ayers story as if it is a national emergency. What was the situation of the stock market back when Rev. Wright was playing on a loop? Was the Afghanistan war worsening when Obama bowled a very low score?

By the way, the townhall consists of "undecideds" in Tennessee. If you've never lived in Tennessee, then that would explain why you're clueless.

Class dismissed. :rofl:
