I have not commented on the debates between Obama and McCain because it is difficult to figure out where to start.
McCain cannot talk his way out of a wet paper bag.
Obama could sell ice cubes to Eskimos (or Inuit).
Neither defines a good and competent leader.
Nor does it demonstrate who tells the truth.
Obama has serious problems with the truth. he wants to win, and will play things up as best he can and why shouldn't he. He should be so far ahead in the polls McCain couldn't catch up if Republicans started registering dead people to vote, by the thousands.
The economy is tanked - and people blame Bush.
The war is very unpopular - and people blame Bush.
McCain is old and is linked to Bush - and people blame Bush.
With all that, the best Obama can do is 3-4. At the most it was 8-9 points.
The question is, why isn't it 15-20 points higher???
THAT is what Democrats should think about. Their guy can't seem to make headway. Most polls are within the margin of error, and a percent of people who say they will vote for Obama, will not - they are saying they will to sound more sophisticated and open-minded.
I digress ... the letter McCain and 19 other US Senators signed, requesting oversight / regulation of Freddie and Fanny ... and none were Democrats and Obama was not on the list.
