| #6 Let's not forget that Obama is an attorney. Did he ever practice? |

| #5 McCain may drop it, but Charlie Gibson will bring it up again in the Sarah interview and she'll get to look gracious and presidential in direct contrast with The One's reaction. It'll still be a topic on Sunday morning. |

| #4 AzCat I think you're wrong here. McCain and company have played it well. This was a major insult to women in general and all McCain had to do was give it a little bit of attention to keep it going for a few days costing Obama all the time. Now, McCain will drop it but that first dose of salt in the self-inflicted wound was necessary. |

| #3 Let's not forget that Obama is an attorney. As such he's trained, at minimum, to be precise in his use of language. He intended the double entendre as such and unfortunately McCain's campaign walked right into Obama's trap on this one. It's not going to help Obama but Team McCain could have played it much better. |

| #2 RJ, it's definitely either or but I'm of the opinion that it was as deliberate as flipping off Hillary. I thought that was a reach, scratching his cheek with his middle finger, until I saw a SECOND video of the exact same speech with the exact same gesture at the exact same moment BUT TO A DIFFERENT AUDIENCE ON A DIFFERENT DAT! He knew damn well what he was saying. |

| #1 Either he knew what he was saying (words matter) or he's not as smart as he's been portrayed. I'm sort of voting on the later because he seems to be really bad when off of the teleprompter. Either way it's not gonna help his numbers. Obama, going for the sexist and stupid vote. |
