1. Watching it right now....my new Senator is speaking.

4. If this is the one i saw the other night

wait until the mod asks them both about what infrastructure projects need to be addressed right away. Keyes carpetbagging shows on that answer big time.

[terrya]

8. I just saw that.

Keyes gave a wishy-washy most non-specific answer (amd Mike Flanigan tried to pinpoint Keyes on this) about it. Yes, Keyes' carpetbagging is quite clear.

[AlCzervik]

10. I enjoyed that part, plus Keyes answeres about the war

and abortion are just really nuts, i mean Bush is out of touch but Keyes is even worse. They should love each other.

2. Thanks, just tuned in. Much better than watching CNN.

[Kurt Remarque]

3. i'm torn between the debate and "blazing saddles"

[terrya]

6. Keyes just referred to Illinois as "our state"...

Not for long, Al. Not for long.

[Rose Siding]

5. Keyes is really arguing with the questioner

The guy is trying to get him to be specific.

7. This Is The Radio Debate...It Wasn't Televised

There are two more debates:

Oct. 21 7pm on WLS-TV (ABC)
Oct. 26 7pm on WTTW (PBS)

I'm sure it'll be on affiliates around the state and on C-SPAN. Tune in for the all the fun.

Sidenote: I first was really impressed with Barak when I heard him do a radio debate during the Democratic primaries. I was also on the road when he gave the keynote at the DNC. If you think he looks impressive, check him out on the radio...we need to get him on talk shows in these final weeks.

9. Senator Barack Obama D-Il (God I love writing that) is amassing...

some national political IOU's during this time. For the future. :-)

13. Did Keyes just call him Sen. Obama?

I think he did!

[terrya]

15. Well, Obama is a state senator...

So, Keyes is right.

[goclark]

19. Right but he said it like

he was giving him the National Senator status -LOL

18. We're Grateful To His Organization

He's "flown in" lots of help in our local congressional campaign and it's making a difference. Look for a surprising number of blacks & hispanic votes negating the millionaires in Barrington. Ya gotta love it!!!

Cheers!

20. I was reading where Obama is helping Melissa Bean...

He's getting his army of volunteers to help! What a good man! He could very well make the difference in defeating Phil Crane. :-)

11. Keyes just goes on and on

and I get absolutely nothing out of what he is saying. Am I just having a senior day rather then a senior moment?

[terrya]

14. No, it's not just you.

Christ, Keyes sure loves to talk.

[dogman]

12. When does Keyes' tongue come out and snatch a fly out of mid-air?

This guy is such a creep, he gives me the creeps.

[bandy]

16. LLLLLLLOL

great!

[Auntie Bush]

17. Sorry...I had to turn it off!

Couldn't stand to listen to Keyes any longer. He's sooo annoying :puke:

OK... I'll listen to Obama.
