| Wednesday's debate was devoid of substance and rife with gotcha politics. In the end, Obama seemed to win simply by not losing. By Walter Shapiro

| #9 The contractor who finished my kitchen this morning said that he watched five minutes of the debate and turned it off. I printed out a Michael Yon article for his edification. |

| #8 These so-called debates are taking on the aura of a Freddy Krueger "Nightmare..." movie for the donks. There is nothing going on in these debates that is new and the issues are not being addressed. Aside from that, please pass the popcorn while I enjoy the mud wrestling. |

| #6 Maybe just one more debate with Couric. She will ask warm fuzzy questions (e.g., what do you admire in your opponent, if you had a wish what would you do) |

| #2 I have been holding my piece on this whole fandango. There is no way in hell I would vote for Obama because I don't like him and I never will. There is no way in hell I would vote for a Clinton ever under any conditions. All this crap in the press is wasted energy and time as far as I am concerned. But the Media seem to have decided Obama is going to be be the next President. |

| #1 Why Obama's 'people' continue to expose his right flank with these idiotic, time bomb, sand pit, and bobby trapped interrogation's, is beyond me! For once, I wish this prognosticator of 'Change' would simply tell the Democratic and Independant electorate they have to choose, and let the people decide at the polls. Those, who are not going to vote for him because they can't give one black man a chance in 47, are not going to change their minds! Those who are not going to vote for him because he doesn't have a vagina, are not going to change their minds! Take my advice Mr. Obama, look into the nearest camera tomorrow and say these words: "There will be no more debates, I have offered my vision and hopes for 'change', and the American people must decide what direction this country will take! As for the matter of the Michigan and Florida Delegates, I and my campaign obeyed the rules of the DNC; As for the SuperDelegates, again...I have won more States, more popular votes and more Pledged Delegates than my opponent, your options are crystal clear!" Say "Thankyou, and GOD bless America" exit stage left to greet the dazzled on lookers! |
