I’m not sure I need to watch the debate, because I already know how it’s going to play out:
SCHIEFFER: Good evening, gentlemen. You already know the rules, so let’s start with the questions. Sen. Obama, the first question is for you: Please describe for the American voters the way in which [...]

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.
But even though [...]

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.
Update - ABC News has the announcement:
The McCain campaign issued a statement saying that they are “resuming all activities and the Senator will travel [...]

Barack Obama once famously announced he would debate John McCain anytime, anywhere. We found out that was untrue 75 days ago when John McCain invited The One to participate in 10 town Hall type debates. Obama agreed to one on the Fourth of july when no one would be interested and has avoided any other [...]

Barack Obama may go down in history as being the most successful candidate to never say or do anything of substance yet be touted as just the opposite. I say “may” because that pretty much sums up the consistency of a Democrat politician in today’s world of rudderless pols that can barely bother showing up [...]

Today I’m speaking Republican as a postmortem to yesterday’s atrocious debate. Nearly all of the nominees have changed their positions over time, pandered to one special interest group or another and flip flopped out of convenience in an effort to secure votes. In some respects this is a testament to electoral system. We are successful [...]

It looks like Hillary Clinton’s lackadaisical performance at last Tuesday’s debate has been made much worse by the post debate circling of the wagons by her supporters. Not that circling of the wagons is at all uncommon in politics; in fact it is to be expected. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on whose perspective you are [...]
