He mixed up a few words, but I think it was a strong answer. ---

> [@ladyfoxfyre](#): > > McCain desperately wants to know what Obama will fine small businesses if they don’t provide healthcare for people. Obama said “Zero” and McCain looked fucking knocked out of his chair. I have him life-sized in hi def and McCain was genuinely stunned/pissed. You could see his breathing elevated and his lip quivered. 😃 ---

I dunno how this thing is playing out for the undeicdeds but it seems like they are being really contentious. What’s great about this cycle is that the pundits don’t get to pull the story out of their ass. There are snap polls that provide that part of the story. ---

> [@dalej42](#): > > In all honesty, I don’t think too many people are listening on the radio in 2008. 1960 was another world. If they are, they’re in AZ, CA, OR, WA, AK, HI. All states that are not competitive. Well, I’ve got it on the internet and am doing other things, so that’s how I’m ‘listening’ to it. Sorta like radio. And I agree, McCain is coming across pretty deliverywise, anyway. He’s lying his ass off and the things he says are nasty. He sounds like a snide piece of shit. How are the CNN viewers judging this? ---

Whatever happened to good old Joe Schmo? He has to be feeling pretty out of it these days with all those plumbers and beer drinkers getting so much press.
