Bailout Plan Rejected →
EPIC FAIL!!!
Come on guys!!! I know you are worried about getting reelected but we gotta approve this plan before things get worse!
Sure, I know that none of us like the fact that we need to bailout these companies but the truth is that if we don’t our economy will collapse.
Please, for the love of God, find a way to pass this legislation before it’s too late!!!

Writing
I miss writing. Tumblr isn’t supposed to be about writing a lot but I really need to write from time to time. Think people will forgive me if I fill their dashboard with a long post every now and then?

This blog was one of the 99 blogs that were featured on the C-SPAN Debate Hub. It’s nice to see your blog might matter a little bit.
McCain just looks bad
It’s honestly hard to look at the guy on my huge HDTV. The man looks as old as dirt and it bothers me that he spent $5,500 on a makeup artist and still looks horrible!
McCain won't pull off an amazing performance
It was believed McCain would have to pull off an amazing performance to make a difference in his sliding polling numbers. I think it is obvious he isn’t going to do that tonight. Both candidates have had their good moments but I seriously doubt many would say McCain did a great job. Obama has held his ground and might win this debate when the dust settles.
McCain can't pronounce "Ahmadinejad"
Looks like we have another illiterate “Bush” on our hands
HOLY CRAP!!!
OBAMA JUST BRACELET TRUMPED MCCAIN!!!
War Stories
I’m tired of all these made up or staged stories McCain tells about the mother’s of dead soldiers. Can no one see these are full of crap???
Debate Scorecard
By my count Obama is winning this debate. We still have a ways to go though.
Uh oh
Obama actually directly addressed McCain.
Playing Nice
On CNN’s coverage they have a live audience reaction chart for Republicans, Democrats and Independents.
It is obvious that when either candidate gets a little ugly the audience doesn’t like it.
I wonder why people respond to negative ads then?
Talk to each other!!!
Why won’t McCain and Obama speak straight to each other???
Debate thoughts
McCain isn’t giving many details. Do people still care about details? I do!
So far I feel Obama is doing better but we have a long way to go. No big surprises yet.
Still blogging the debate
McCain doesn’t realize Kennedy is already out of the hospital I guess.
Debate liveblogging
Nice question to start with!!!
Let’s see if we can get a straight answer.
Debate Watch Party or Nursing Home?
CNN just showed a shot of a McCain campaign debate watch party. It looked more like a nursing home.
Not surprising.
Lead up to the debate
It seems like both camps are trying to lower expectations but this is nothing new. If they didn’t do this I would have been shocked. The big deal will be how the media spins results.
I also want to see if McCain’s $5,500 makeup actually makes him look less like a lizard.

Obama vs. McCain
Are you ready for some PRESIDENTIAL DEBATING???
Sure, for some these debates aren’t exactly as exciting as Monday Night Football but I am ready to see how Obama vs. McCain will turn out. Do you have any predictions? My money is on Obama but we’ll have to wait and see.
I’ll be blogging some of my thoughts during the debate for those who are interested.
