Cassy’s pretty disgusted. I started listing reasons why I disagreed with her, and by the time I was done I realized I didn’t.
Hawkins declares Obama a huge winner. I’d like to disagree with that one. I’ll [...]

I’m not going to try and convince you that John McCain won the debate. If you were one of the people that watched you already know who looked more presidential, who seemed to have a better command of the facts and who had to try and get the moderator to move on repeatedly.

John McCain announced that he will attend tonight’s debate as the framework of today’s bailout talks have progressed enough to give the Senator confidence that today’s debate can go on as planned.

Today I’m speaking Republican as a postmortem to yesterday’s atrocious debate.
