Associate with terrorists? You mean the former-terrorist-turned-professor and where "associate" means having been on the same board as him on a charity? Do you actually think Obama would conspire with terrorists to bring down America, or are you just grasping for straws?

Did the executives at some companies donate $20k each to the DNC, or are we talking about a couple hundred bucks from a lot of low level employees? Comparison vs McCain can't be done, because now that he gets public financing he can no longer accept donations - of course his numbers are going to be lower. (He also got less before that though. How does the contribution work out as a percentage of total money raised?) Though I'd also be interested in what "questionable companies" are?

Lots of innuendo, no substance. You can do better.


CNN talking about the focus group they're polling for the debate. Republicans, Democrats and Independents - all undecideds.

97% said country goes in the wrong direction, nobody said Iraq was their top issue. It's all about the economy for that group. The economy may take over this foreign policy debate, which can only hurt McCain. I just hope they don't decide to make the last debate about foreign policy instead.

So you didn't vote for W? Because he gets money from the bin Ladens (Carlyle Group). And the Saudis (9/11 hijacker home nation). Need I go on?

Holy fuck the sheer amount of statistical measuring graphs and bars on the CNN screen (watching in HD atm) is astounding.

Edit: CNN HD allows output over firewire so here's a screen capture:

Man I don't think I've seen McCain nervous like this. They both are, but I'm more surprised how much his voice is breaking.

EDIT: I guess I remember that being talked about before his convention speech. He really prefers smaller crowds.

McCain: Because Ireland has 11% income tax and we Americans need a $500 tax credit.

At least they are finally starting to throw punches. The first 2 questions were really boring in terms of answers.

Agreed, this is what I wanted to see in the debate. Tired of the teleprompter style talking.
