« Big Ayers Exchange Turns Out To Be Anti-Climax | Home | Snap Polls Give Overwhelming Win to Obama »
Desperation: McCain Claims That Obama Voted To Let Babies Die
Sheer desperation: John McCain hits Barack Obama for allegedly voting to let babies die.
The reference, of course, is to Obama's opposition to a measure in Illinois that would purportedly have provided care for babies born amid abortions -- something that was already legally required, anyway. The bill was widely viewed by critics as a sneak attack on Roe v. Wade.
To our ears, this is a more despicable smear than just about anything we've seen, worse than Ayers or anything else. It wreaks so overwhelmingly of desperation and dishonesty that it's incredible that McCain actually agreed to it when Steve Schmidt or whoever told him it would work and he really, really would score big points if he lobbed this attack tonight.

"He's not autistic, Uncle John, he has Downs. No that isn't the same thing, Uncle John." "He just told you that wasn't true, Uncle John." "You just said that, Uncle John...don't put the mashed potato in your ear, Uncle John." O god, not this story again...

I did feel like this was McCain's best performance of the three debates. I think it was just a better debate overall - it felt like the candidates moved further off the talking points than they did in the past.

I thought so also. It was the first debate where anything real happened. I was glad to hear Obama go deeper into his health plan as it relates to small business.

McCain is totally disgusting. But in the last two debates his bizarre antics upstaged everything else.
At least this time he sort of stayed behind the podium enough that it was recognizable as a debate. Maybe now people will discuss how stupid it would be to take troops off the battlefield and put them in the classrooms without any additional training or certification (that's what I heard McCain say).

The way he was uncomfortably trying uncomfortably hard to look at Obama was just creepy and bizarre. I didn't think he was any better than the last two in that regard.

We always get the idea of Obama camp's objective at the end of the debate.
I think for Obama his composure and steadiness will win him the accolades and eventually the votes.
One plus for McCain- He was to an extent succesful in distancing himself from Bush. I was waiting for Obama to say "that sounded like Bush," but he never did.
But Obama's advertising will take care of tying McCain to Bush- even more

My gut feeling is that after this, McCain's going to close in a bit on the poll numbers. I don't think he won this debate on the issues, but if there were any people out there waiting for McCain to do something, McCain finally got aggressive tonight. I think the "undecideds" that are really McCain supporters sitting sideline will reward him for that.
That said, this debate changed nothing, and will have no substantive effect on the race.

McCain sneering at "health of the mother" exclusions was simply appalling, and it is going to come back and bite him solidly on the butt. Only the most extreme of the wingnuts oppose health of the mother exclusions for abortions. Sane people are going to see that sneering and be repulsed.

When I was watching, at that moment I wanted Obama to attack McCain back with his own affiliation during the Ayers argument.
But now at the end of the debate it feels very different.
While McCain was attacking Obama's charecter, not by attacking but by remaining calm, composed and focused on the issues Obama displayed his strong charecter.

Gregory and Mitchell want to Tire Swing so badly for McCain that it's painful
Tweety went right for the throat on McCain - the Woman's Health comment on Abortion was a moment that killed him.
Pat of course went for McCain, but he was pretty funny at the end that he picked McCain the last two times and the public went in the other direction for similar performances from Obama. It was as if Pat knew that Obama really won with the public.
Rachel was smooth in putting over McCain's start, and that he then went off the rails. While Gregory was trying to Tire Swing for the "I'm Not George Bush" line, she zeroed in on the Mother's Health issue as the big take away moment of the night. That was in a segment right before Tweety went off on it for the first time as well.
The Insta Polls are going to be interesting.

McCain wanted you to know that Obama had a fine small business had to pay and pressed Obama for how much it would be. Surely this'll win the punters over.
When Obama said "Zero, the fine is zero" McCain sounded just like the large old woman at his rally who said Obama was an A-rab. "No?" she said? "Zero? he cried with a whimper?

Did McCain really just say a major plank of his education platform is soldiers returning from Iraq and going straight into teaching, without even needing to pass an exam or become certified??
And that New Orleans is the model for US education reform?
Wow. You get the feeling he read Naomi Klein's disaster capitalism and it actually helped clarify his policies. McCain is phoning it in from bizarro world tonight.
He's throwing out a lot of crap, hoping something sticks. But his arguments just don't make any sense. McCain is incoherent, grumpy and attacking on everything, and just grasping pathetically at total non-gotchas.
Going out on a limb here: post debate polls will show Obama won this debate by the same 2/3 margins we've been seeing.

Josh just posted on McCain's weirdly smug and obnoxious comments about women's health in regards to abortion.
It reminded me of McCain characterizing Obama as naive because he wants wanting nuclear power to be "safe and clean or something" and that he'd "been on Navy ships with nuclear power, it's safe."
It's pretty clear McCain doesn't have any respect for the other side of the debate, or the other side of the aisle, or anyone not marching in lock step with McCain who is himself largely regurgitating hard right ideology.
Want provisions for women's health in late-term abortion law? McCain knows you're just a "pro-abortion" baby-killer throwing up disingenuous arguments. Concerned that nuclear power be "safe and clean" and again, you're just some tree-hugging hippie, probably a dope smoking dropout too. Because McCain knows none of these issues concern Joe Sixpacks like him.
