trackback
Gang, it is finally over. No, not the election, the debates. Last night’s debate was like watching Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em robots! For those of you born after 1975 look it up! They both went there. It was great! McCain came out swinging with Bill Ayers and Obama countered with McCain’s racist supporters who want to kill him. McCain seemed on his game last night which meant he was finally lucid for a debate! He was zeroing in on every little thing Obama said and brought up that Joe Plumber guy about a thousand times. What the hell is up with this Joe Plumber guy (who is actually a real person!)? Fortunately Obama was able to deflect and counter each accusation.
Yes, McCain did well but I don’t think he did well enough to change the trajectory of this election. I predict that McCain will get a few percentage point bump post debate but it will not be enough to clear Obama’s leading 10+ point chasm. Everyone is pretty set with who they will vote for and McCain needed a solid game changer. He didn’t deliver. Even if he got a majority of those idiots who are still undecided (who the hell are these people? Hermits and recluses??!) it would not be enough to best Obama. The only thing that can change the game now is if it came out that Obama has an iligitimate white baby. I’m sure the Republicans have already snatched some of Obama’s DNA and the baby will be born/hatched sometime this month for the famous “October Surprise”!
The CNN Poll has Obama winning the debate by a large margin and I have to agree. I found McCain crusty and his facial expressions appeared that he was about to explode. McCain gave it his best shot – but Obama was smooth, direct and provided precise answers in the debate. Yes, now it is over. The only area McCain has been competitive in the publicity front. Now that the last debate is over – only the rally coverage is al McCain has. Obama will out spend him and out ground game him. Vote on November 4 and lets celebrate Obama as our new President.
McCains supporters are not upset about Obama’s race. he is half white. They are concerned about his association with terrorist organizations like HAMAS who are doing fundraising for him, and sending him thousands of dollars. Obama jsut ignores questions about this, and responds, you are calling me a terrorist……blowing off the issue – essentially admitting to it by refusing to deny it. I had one of these people call me. Very unsettling.
Obama has a lot of radical muslim and racist supporters, which makes him a apparent threat to national security, unless he makes a positive decision to disassociate himself with them..
There is also a difference between a negative ad that is false and an ad that has negative information, which is true

PS ..excuse me ….tens of thousands and rising
I just know that if they have the election party in Grant Park here in Chicago I’m taking that day and the next off. It would be cool to tell my future kids and grand kids that I was there the night Obama announced to the crowd of millions that he has won the presidency thanks to the dedication of the American people who want change in government.
I just know if some of those crazy right-wing extremists try anything against Obama especially after yelling in (code) at their rallies – (kill him!) trans.- hang that nigga! All hell is going to break loose. We could have a good ol’ fashion race riot like in 1917 in East St. Louis, Illinois. Just expand that to every part of the country. The only thing is that the strange fruit will have many hue’s of black, white, yellow and red.
But this won’t happen since American’s are hopefully not that stupid.
I think there will just be a lot of grumbling and life will go on.
Go Barack! Make it happen.
