Debate Liveblogging, Round 6
Posted in: 2008 Election, McCain, Obama
10:33 McCain’s response to the "What don’t you know and how will you learn it?" is also non-responsive, and considerably less inspiring. (Eli)
10:31 The CNN women really go for Obama. (MommyBrain)
10:31 Obama giving an inspiring and completely non-responsive answer to the "What don’t you know and how will you learn it?" question. (Eli)
10:30 Great moment when Obama says Michelle teaches him what he doesn’t know, very appealing and warm response. (Siun)
10:28 I’m imagining a SciFi novel that influences a presidential election by hijacking CNN’s viewer insta-feed. But I don’t think we’re there yet. I think viewers really ARE flat-lining when McCain speaks. (ew)
10:28 Retired Navy Guy concerned about Iran nods when Obama explains his position – didn’t nod at McCain. And CNN meter stays really high throughout. (Siun)
10:28 Obama talking about putting economic pressure on Iran by not selling them gasoline, because they don’t have a strong refinery infrastructure. And we still need to have diplomatic talks with them. (Eli)
10:26 Pach, correct me if I’m wrong, but the Sugar Momma’s Boy Toy also hasn’t said "middle class." (ew)
10:26 I think McSame should stay away from the term, "stinking corpse." (Blue Texan)
10:26 My friends, "That One" over there has thoroughly kicked my butt tonight. (bmaz)
10:24 Two names McCain has not uttered, iirc: "Bush" and "Palin." (Pach)
10:23 Brokaw channeling Reagan Is Russia an evil empire? Obama says
evil behavior, McCain says maybe … oh my! (Siun)
10:23 If this were a prizefight it would have been stopped. If it were a daycare, John McCain would have been given a juice box and a cookie. (Thers)
10:22 Obama more articulate on Russia, becoming more confident. Can’t wait to hear the pundits talk about how this wasn’t a game changer. Obama is closing this out. (Scarecrow)
10:22 Obama is talking about rebuilding Soviet satellite economies? Hello, we have some work to do closer to home! Would someone please send Obama a book about FDR? (Pach)
10:22 Oh, glory. McCain is Eddie Haskell. We need to make the Russians understand that we won’t have bad human rights behavior. Happily, the chinese don’t exist. (Julia)
10:21 Brokaw only mentions time when it is Obama’s time to speak and not McCain. (Suz)
10:20 At what point do we send in a doctor to intervene–like a boxing ref–because apparently McCain can no longer breathe? (ew)
10:20 McCain really needs new material – hauls out his K.G.B. in Putin’s eyes line again … yawn. (Siun)
10:18 Obama clearing winning the exchanges on Pakistan, and McCain is fumbling in his replies. (Scarecrow)
10:18 McCain utters his first "Obama is correct" on some bits and pieces, before putting his hand in his front pocket and chanting "Surge!" (Pach)
10:18 Via Ambinder, the RNC’s already whining: "10:16: The RNC sends around reporter’s e-mail criticizing the debate format. As in — this is not a REAL town hall meeting, so if McCain’s not doing as well as he should be doing, it’s not his fault." (Blue Texan)
10:17 CNN voter meter drops every time McCain starts to talk … his national security faux chops are not winning voters. (Siun)
