I think your still not giving Mccain enough credit here I mean the man has been in politics for 30 years. This is about the most brilliant move he could of made. ...

Like his next brilliant move -- disarming our nukes unilaterally or without verification of the other side''s corresponding actions. --- Thanks, but no thanks. Truth to power -- McCain is now proclaiming his own incompetence in dealing with the debate commission. I think it is time he resign in disgrace.

intellectual knowledge of economic and world affairs to be the top position?

I want you to do the same for Obama. Other than his world tour to campaign to be the world president a couple of months ago how many world leaders had he met? and what were his world experiences.

Picture this folks:
A country with a liberal president, who will appoint liberal chief justices to the Supreme Court, a liberal congress supported by a liberal media, taught by liberal educators can only lead to one thing: The United Socialist States Of America. That scares the heck out of me.

If McCain negotiates so poorly with the debate commission how can he be trusted to negotiate with anyone else -- like the Chinese, Iranians, Russians, etc?

As I said I think he negotiated brillantly and nuetralized a bias media. Why do you think he is not calling for her to step down.

I want to hear people like Andylance and CBScensorsU talk about Palin''s knowledge, readiness, worldview and experience, and tell us all specifically why she is qualified to be #2 or #1 if McCain dies. With the state of affairs as it is right now in the world, with 2 wars, economic crisis, healthcare crisis, etc. Do you really want someone who identifies with "Joe 6-pack" to run the country? Don''t you want someone smarter, better educated, with a deeper intellectual knowledge of economic and world affairs to be the top position?

The odds of him getting a truly unbiased mderator from PBS was slim and none. So he allowed the one who he knew was easy to expose as biased. So now that her biased has been exposed she is going to have to tip toe around so much that there is no way she could be bias towards Obama. I say the first battle of this debate was won by the Mccain campaign.

Personally I thing Gwen Ifil will do well moderating the debate tonight. However, as voters we should consider the McCain''''s camp handling of the negotiations for the debates. They agreed with the moderators long ago and now they are complaining about fairness. Just think if the debate commission had been a foreign power, would they be crying before the nation about how bad a deal they believe they had made? What might they have given away in other negotiations due to lack of preparation? If the Republicans cannot handle a negotiation with the debate commission how will they ever handle the Russians, Chinese, North Koreans, Iranians, or Al Qaeda?

Sarah is in a tough position tonight because there is two things that can happen and neither are good for Mccain:

1) She hits a home and does excellent and holds her own or even gets Biden in is gaffes if this happens the polls will change only slightly and everyone will go back to vocusing on Mccain

2) She blows it and makes a complete fool of her self and if this happens I have to say even as a die hard Mccain supporter his hopes would be practically dead.(I know this is option the left is hoping for)

So really there is no win for the Mccain camp tonight but a break even would be as good as a win.

Dang it man! STOP DOING THAT!! I hate it when you say things that I agree with, j/k I just e-mailed someone about this issue today. I think palin needs to answer the direct question and she will be fine. If she continues to do what she has been doing and gives an indirect answer; she will do nothing for the McCain Camp, and with this being October, It will be detramental to his camp
