I do believe that there will be a new definition of “damning with faint praise” in the next edition of the dictionary:
“She’s a capable…uh…uh…uh…uh…politician.”
No child left behind? That has worked well.
Tax cuts. They fix everything. Like this hangnail I have. As soon as McCain is elected, tax cuts should fix it.

Ahh… sweet Canadian non-terrorist, non-commie oil. God bless Canada… and their tasty oil!
Nice Rolleyes, McBush.
McCain keeps throwing around “you don’t tell them that!”
How does McCain think diplomacy and trade agreements are settled; are negotiated? By unveiling at the last moment a secret plan that you’ve kept buried in a jar in your back yard?
I’m voting for Obama, and McCain’s bizarre ongoing attacks on planetariums is driving me crazy. But I have just the opposite impression. McCain’s delivery is very strong tonight. He’s on the attack, speaking smoothly, quick to answer. He sounds like he knows what he’s talking about, regardless of whether he actually does or not.
Obama sounds like the one fumbling and stumbling to me. He sounds very defensive and hesitant, and keeps making me cringe with embarrassment–not at the substance of what he says, but at his delivery. McCain is on his game tonight, and to my ears he’s winning easily so far.
Of course, I’m listening on the radio instead of watching on TV. I wonder how much of a difference that makes. It was a factor in the Kennedy/Nixon and Carter/Reagan debates.
He seems to get the last word a lot. While the questions in this debate seem like softballs for Obama, McCain getting the last word more often than not evens things up.
If they were both submitting essays, and I am the teacher marking them, I will fail them. John McCain fails most.
McCain seems to be picking on “raising the taxes” while ignoring the point that only the really wealthy will get it. How does this got to do with Joe Plumber?
He knows how.
If McCain says the word taxes one more time. Talk about not answering the question. I think Obama’s wonkiness is helping him in this debate. He’s got the numbers and the figures and an easy way to explain how he thinks his plan will work. McCain can only reassure us that he knows but won’t tell us what he knows.
KSDMB. 
Or for those east of the Mississippi, WSDMB.
Seriously, I learn more from reading y’all’s posts during the debates that I ever would from the debates themselves.
Joe the plumber can suck my dick.
McCain looks positively shocked! “Zero!?”
Anyone who is drinking to Joe the Plumber is probably falling out of their chair by now.
Am I crazy or is Bob Schieffer giving McCain the last word every single time?
I like how Obama is now talking directly to Joe the Plumber.
McCain mentions Joe the Plumber again!
Zeke the Plumber… Zeke the Plumber… Zeke th…
Joe the Plumber!
Who the fuck would have guessed that Joe the goddamned plumber was going to be the 4th member of this debate?
I think this was a really clever and successful move.
