Debate

From taxes to terrorists, last night's debate was by far the best.


My favorite part would probably have to be the overkill of "Joe the Plumber," mainly because though the catch phrase sounds like just that, another catch phrase, Joe is a real man who Obama spoke with on Sunday.

Maybe Palin really is the bulldog. If she's not going to correct people from calling Obama a terrorist during rallies, but McCain will. Well, to me that just looks like she's doing the dirty work.

Attack ads- they both got angry with each other over the issue. Personally, I think attacking someone's policy is different than attacking his person. So calling a man "a liar" or "a terrorist" is different than saying, hey, this policy won't work.

I watched the debate with a friend last night who said she thinks she's going to vote for Obama. Her logic was as follows. "If Obama dies, Biden knows stuff. If McCain dies, Palin's an idiot."

More commentary on the debate later today...

Big Two?

Talks of a possible merger between Chrysler and GM are in the mix.... It's what the New York Times calls " a deal that could drastically remake the landscape of the auto industry by reducing the Big Three of Detroit automakers to the Big Two."

BOSOX are at it again beating the Rays last night in Game 1 of the ALCS!





Can we stop with the Bill Ayers talk? I mean seriously, TWO DECADES later Obama and the Ayers sat on two non profit boards together.


See McCain's new negative ad that highlights the Ayers controversey by clicking here.

In the ad titled "Ambition" a woman says:

“Obama's blind ambition. When convenient, he worked with terrorist Bill Ayers. When discovered, he lied. Obama. Blind ambition. Bad judgment. Congressional liberals fought for risky sub-prime loans. Congressional liberals fought against more regulation. Then, the housing market collapsed costing you billions. In crisis, we need leadership, not bad judgment.”
