Apparently, John McCain did even worse than I thought in last night’s debate. He and Barack Obama both failed to present a step-by-step plan as to what they were going to do about America’s banking crisis. They both merely rehashed old plans they have been discussing for months. But, McCain failed more in that he presented something old as something new. And it wasn’t even his.

Quote of the day: “That One”

Every U.S. Presidential election has a defining moment in the Presidential debates. I think we saw this election’s moment last night.
Throughout last night’s debate, it was obvious that John McCain had a sense of disdain for Obama he could barely conceal. However, when he called his opponent for the Presidency “That [...]

Obama wins debate

Last night Barack Obama and John McCain had at it in their second Presidential debate in the U.S. John McCain has been slipping in the polls and needed a game-changer to break Obama’s momentum. He didn’t get it. Pundits and polls agree that Obama won the might, with CNN’s poll showing a [...]

Very funny!
Brian Williams: “I’m A Maverick, And I May Not Answer The Questions Tonight”
Oct

The NBC News anchor apparently has a sense of humor. I found this video on Brian Williams mimicking Sarah Palin via the Huffington Post. Maybe Brian was miffed because Palin decided to talk to Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson but left him twiddling his thumbs.
Regardless of the reason, it’s pretty funny. The [...]
US: Democrats looking at a filibuster proof Senate majority
Oct
Share
Politico is reporting that the Democrats are on track to potentially reach a super-majority of sixty seats in the U.S. Senate. Sixty is a very important number in the Senate because it neuters any attempt by the opposing party to block legislation by eliminating the opportunity to filibuster.
If Barack Obama is elected President, such [...]
Palin exceeds expectations but still loses debate
Oct

This debate was all about Sarah Palin. After a disastrous couple of weeks and sinking poll numbers, she risked torpedoing the Republican’s chances entirely. She needed to show her mettle
The consensus with pundits who watched the one and only U.S. Vice Presidential debate last night was that Sarah Palin did a very good job [...]
Get ready for Biden v. Palin tonight

This has to be one of the most anticipated U.S. Vice Presidential debates in the last quarter century. It is as big as Bush – Ferraro and Gore – Quayle – Stockdale. I certainly will be watching.Partial as I am to Barack Obama, I was not anticipating Joe Biden as his running mate. [...]
