Election 2008 Obama's Campaign Sets the Tone for Tonight's Debate
Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 10:29 AM
From Team Obama's press secretary:
In tonight's debate, Chuck Todd of NBC News says, McCain needs to "figure out how to disqualify Barack Obama." Time Magazine's Mark Halperin writes, "McCain will have to produce a major memorable moment." The NY Daily News says the debate is "do-or-die for McCain's campaign." However they put it, people agree, John McCain needs a game-changer.
On the big issues, this debate is one last chance for John McCain to do what he has failed to do throughout this entire campaign: explain to the American people how his economic policies would be any different at all than the failed Bush agenda he has supported every step of the way. It's his last chance to somehow convince the American people that his erratic response to this economic crisis doesn't disqualify him from being President.
Just this weekend, John McCain vowed to "whip Obama's you-know-what" at the debate, and he's indicated that he'll use Bill Ayers to attack Barack Obama. Even though Senator McCain has said he doesn't "give a damn" about Bill Ayers, his campaign has admitted that if he talks about the economy, he'll lose.
Join us tonight at Roots Organic Brewing or the Clinton Street Theater (or, check out Blogtown's live-blogging extravaganza) to see how desperate McCain gets.

Vote for that Republican fellow, you know, McBush. Great man. Another Republican president. Just what we need. Ex-cellent.

Oh, I say, something of a droll quip in this post. Not sure how to take it, but a smile did flit fleetingly across my face. I'd say keep up the good work, but it's the first funny in something you wrote in several months.
It's so much less work to comment when you're funny that constantly pointing out about post after post "not funny."
