I'm wondering who trains this guy in debate "strategies" and "tactics." Why would he repeat "he's wrong, he's wrong" and then turn around and say more than once: "Sen. McCain is absolutely right." Idiot. Also, if the oppo is going to tell a few lies about you, tell a few about him first, not reactive. Reactive is passive. Passive looses.

Fundamental rule, never say anything you don't want to be true. If it doesn't help to have Sen. McCain be "absolutely right," then don't say it. Never articulate anything in a debate you don't want to be true, or to happen.

Choose a strategy. Let's say the strategy is to equate John McCain with George Bush. The tactics would be to talk a lot about George Bush, not John McCain. Let the viewer make the connection. Repeat failures and negatives of Bush while sweeping your hand in John McCain's direction. Another tactic would be to repeat the mantra, "we can't afford another 4 years of this." Don't deviate from the mantra, don't shift one word of the sentence.

Democrats consistently put up lightweight candidates and Obama is no different. With the economy as it is, with the last 8 years as they have been, that he isn't trouncing the opposition is pathetic.

I caught that line in the debate. I knew there was something fishy about his going after that study. I'd have more faith in a cleanup of earmarks if he went after the star wars defense system that never works. I was very suspicious about that bear study line, thank you for researching that and clearing that up.

I also find is simplistic to think the American public are all behind drilling off our coasts and drilling in the interior wilderness. This whole "drill baby drill," is based on what? A few polls? Let's see that put to a vote in California and see if the residents of this state want to "drill baby drill." I'd think not.

I guess the message is Obama is a terrorist? Or Muslims are evil? Or Palin isn't unethical? Or we need a smaller government to hand out bigger bailouts? Or Obama is a scary black man and will drive a gold plated Cadillac to the white house?

I can see why their messages are not connecting with the voters. Which one of the above should they pick and stick?

I'd like to see someone call McCain out on his own terror connection: himself. He is a self admitted war criminal who actually dropped bombs on civilians (unlike the Weathermen who never targeted people, but buildings.) Our whole bombing campaigns in Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia were terrorism and the weathermen actually radicalized and began bombing buildings in response to our actions in Viet Nam.

A guy who bombs civilians calling other people terrorist. A guy who was tortured who can't stand up against torture.

We live in bizarro reversie world.

"Where did Stone's "calling" come from?"

A veteran of the Vietnam war, Stone served with the U.S. Army from April 1967 to November 1968. He specifically requested combat duty and was assigned to the 25th Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, and was wounded twice in action. His personal awards include the Bronze Star with "V" device for valor for "extraordinary acts of courage under fire", and the Purple Heart with one Oak Leaf Cluster.

I hope that answers your question. In a democracy everyone should have his type of "calling." Some are compelled more than others because they experience the ramifications of state power directly.

Florida. Stop electing Republicans as governor. You'd think you'd learn that that vote is more important than your vote for president, because one guarantees the other.

duh?

In AP article:

"Paul Tynjala, St. Louis County's director of elections, said the change in results from Mountain Iron was because of a human call-in error on election night that incorrectly gave Franken 406 votes, instead of 506 votes."

Any follow media people? How is it that a polling station makes a 100 vote error in calling in the tally? There is only 2 numbers to send in for the Senate race on one number is off by 20% and no one cares? Why is Acorn on the media chopping block and they have no record of vote fraud, yet the partisan punk who called in these numbers not being brought up on charges? Acorn = 0, call in guy = 100. Why wasn't there a check and balance when calling in the numbers? So many questions. These "anomalies" are popping up all over the count. A "call in error?" !!!

Where is the media?

Where is the media?

Where is the media?

Again voter fraud, and no one seems to care.
